Spirit of Life (McDade, arr. Alexander)

A still small arrangement of Carolyn McDade's beloved song

Carolyn McDade and her assistant Marian granted me permission to arrange and publish this piece it in record time -- less than a week! And they were so encouraging. Thank you two so much!

I'll have more detailed information about this song on this page very shortly. In the meantime, sheet music and PDFs for this very very new piece are available now.

Spirit of Life

Carolyn McDade

Spirit of Life, come unto me.
Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compassion.
Blow in the wind, rise in the sea;
Move in the hand, giving life the shape of justice.
Roots hold me close; wings set me free;
Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.
