Dear Tracy,

I just learned this evening that Cris Williams did write the Song of the Soul a neighbor, Jean told me the story fo the song.

Thanks for your comments.  Now I am wondering where I learned the song, it is certainly in our Songaia songbook.

Definitely not an Order song. We had a bit of a problem with lesbians back in the day. . . 

One of two songs from Cris we sang at my covenanting ceremony. Beautiful and easily singable!

Thank you Nancy. I love this song too. Don't remember it from Order singing. Appreciate the words. Saved me some transcription time!

Dear Janice,

I thought we sang this in the Order?  My experience of community singing gets mixed up between the Order and Songaia, but I thought Fred, Stan Carol and I brought it to Songaia.   Here are the words.  I am adding the first part that you hear with the link from yesterday, it was not included when I found the verses and chorus on line this morning.

Open my eyes that I may see,
Glimpses of truth thou hast for me.
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine.

Love of my life I am crying
I am not dying, I am dancing
Dancing along in the madness
There is no sadness
Only the song of the soul

cho: And we'll sing this song
     Why don't you sing along
     Then we can sing for a long, long time
     Why don't you sing this song
     Then we can sing along
     Then we can sing for a long, long time

What do you do for a living
Are you forgiving, giving shelter
Follow your heart, love will find you
Truth will unbind you
Seek out a song of the soul

Come to your life like a warrior
Nothing will bore yer, you can be happy
Let in the light, it will heal you
And you can feel you
Sing out a song of the soul

Love of my life I am crying
I am not dying, I am dancing
Dancing along in the madness
There is no sadness
Only the song of the soul

 Cris Williamson - Song of the Soul


With love,

Nancy
