Let My Spirit Always Sing

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: More Voices #83 (2007) Meter: 7.7.7 D Topics: Discernment Lyrics: 1 Let my spirit always sing, though my heart be wintering, though the season of despair give no sign that you are there, God to whom my days belong, let there always be a song. 2 Though my body be confined, let your word engage my mind, let the inner eye discern how much more there is to learn, see the world becoming whole through the window of the soul. 3 Let your wisdom grace my years, choose my words and chase my fears, give me wit to welcome change, to accept, and not estrange, let my joy be full and deep in the knowledge that I keep. 4 Let my spirit always sing, to your Spirit answering, through the silence, through the pain know my hope is not in vain, like a feather on your breath trust your love, through life and death.
