Songs

Spirit of Life
Words and Music by Carolyn McDade



C          F      G             C
Spirit of Life, come unto me
.Am          Dm            G7                   F/A   C
Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compass--ion.
C               F      G             C
Blow in the wind, rise in the sea;
Am             Dm             G7                    F/A  C
Move in the hand, giving life the shape of just--ice.
C                    F       G7               C
Roots hold me close; wings set me free;
Am       Dm               G7               C
Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.

I felt that the only way to start the songs was to start from the beginning and for most Unitarian Universalists Spirit of Life is the beginning. The unofficial anthem. Our Amazing Grace.

When Our Heart Is In A Holy Place

By Joyce Poley

(Chorus)

D                         A   G      D             

When our heart is in a holy place,

                G               Em   A

When our heart is in a holy place,

           D                  A              G        D

We are blessed with love and amazing grace,

                G               Gm   D

When our heart is in a holy place.

(Verse One)

               G           A               D              

When we trust the wisdom in each of us,

         G               A             D

Ev’ry color ev’ry creed and kind

            G         A                   F#       Bm

And we see our faces in each other’s eyes

              G               Gm   D

Then our heart is in a holy place

(Chorus)

                            A   G      D             

When our heart is in a holy place,

                G               Em   A

When our heart is in a holy place,

We are blessed with love and amazing grace,

                G               Gm   D

When our heart is in a holy place.

(Verse Two)
               G           A             D            

When we tell our story from deep inside,

           G                  A        D

And we listen with a loving mind,

            G           A              F#            Bm

And we hear our voices in each other’s words,

              G               Gm   D

Then our heart is in a holy place

(Chorus)

                            A   G      D             

When our heart is in a holy place,

When our heart is in a holy place,

           D                  A              G        D

We are blessed with love and amazing grace,

                G               Gm   D

When our heart is in a holy place.

(Verse Three)

               G             A            D            

When we share the silence of sacred space,

            G                        A            D

And the God of our Heart stirs within,

            G         A                     F#       Bm

And we feel the power of each other’s faith,

               G               Gm  D

Then our heart is in a holy place
