* Prayer of Dedication* Hymn “It’s a Song of Praise” ( More Voices #30 & Screen)
“If you want joy,
share joy.”
Deepak Chopra
It’s a song of praise to the Maker, the thrush sings high in the tree. It’s a song of praise to the Maker, the gray whale sings in the sea-
And by the Spirit you and I can join our voice to the holy cry and sing, sing, sing to the Maker, too!
“If you want joy,
share joy.”
Deepak Chopra
It’s a call of life to the Giver when waves and waterfalls roar. It’s a call of life to the Giver when high tides dance on the shore-
And by the Spirit you and I can join our voice to the holy cry and sing, sing, sing to the Maker, too!
“If you want joy,
share joy.”
Deepak Chopra
It’s a hymn of love to the Lover; the bumblebees hum along. It’s a hymn of love to the Lover; the summer breeze joins the song-
And by the Spirit you and I can join our voice to the holy cry and sing, sing, sing to the Maker, too!
“If you want joy,
share joy.”
Deepak Chopra
It’s the chorus of all creation; it’s sung by all living things. It’s the chorus of all creation; a song the universe sings.
And by the Spirit you and I can join our voice to the holy cry and sing, sing, sing to the Maker, too!
