Welcoming Words

Opening Song* 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.
