No 49 in AOV NG is another lovely Gina Ogilvie song, “Gift of Grace.” It starts as a reflective piece and winds up a festival. I’m not sure I was able to get the flavour in my backing, so seek out the CD and give it a listen. If you were having quiet reflective mass, the first verse could be the gathering, done as a chant and the second the recessional. It would also be wonderful for a healing service.
It can be purchased for download at As One Voice.
Bless this land and your people
As we gather on this day.
Lead us to a place of healing
Where we know the gift of grace.
Bless this land and your people
As we journey from this place.
May our lives reveal your promise
As we become your gift of grace.
