Thank you Judi and Jim!!! What fond memories of our corporate singing I enjoyed today, as I sang those cleverly constructed phrases and experienced them flowing so trippingly off my tongue! On Tue, Feb 4, 2025, 8:05 PM Isobel and Jim via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:

Great to rehearse those special words. Any recollections of how it was written? Research Centrum? Was it a cabaret song? Or penned by one of our anonymous poets?

IN THE WORLD OF SPIRIT
*Tune: If* Were *A Rich Man*
In the world of spirit, radically contingent, trustful expectation, intense shock
Life's impacted by the mystery, and it's all a cloud of awe!
In the world of spirit, revelation of enigma, wheel of fortune, no excuse
One essential task, create the world, sudden reeling, mystery's won the day.
Oneness of all creation, wholly engulfed in marching with all of history,
Binding the wounds of time, everything's worthwhile.
The other world you see through all and move mountains, and there's none to show the way,
All in love with life and all poured out.
In the world of spirit, resurrectional existence, gloriously condemned to waltz.
Rapture walks with woe, struck dumb by bliss, playing in a symphony.
In the world of spirit, irresistibly impelled, and simply all a‑tingle now
Running on an endless marathon, sudden reeling, mystery's won the day.
*Repeat 2nd and 3rd verses through "all a‑tingle now"*
*Coda:*
Running on an endless marathon, suddenly deciding I'm the one
Running on an endless marathon, Mystery has won the day.

The unknown is what is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that. Unknown is what is. Accept that it's unknown, and it's plain sailing. John Lennon

Can anyone remember the words to the song with the tune, "If I were a rich man?" and the words "Oneness of all creation wholly engulfed..." , or the title and directions to find it? I have four songbooks here and can't find it in any of them. this does not mean they are not therre, actually, but my eyes did not see them.
