I’ll do a couple more songs from the As One Voice digital archive before looking elsewhere.
This is an Erica Marshall song that is meant to be dance like and might work for Preparation of the Gifts.
The sheet music is available to purchase at As One Voice.
Refrain:
Mercy alive in our hearts,
Mercy alive in our bodies
Mercy alive in the stories we share,
Set us dancing new steps of Mercy today.1 Mercy speaks in many ways, a word, a touch, a smile
Be the face of God you see, be “present” for a while.
2 Sing the song of mercy strong, a faithful healing sound,
Sharing bread our lives we give, in love and joy we’re bound.
3 Justice rising in our soul, truth the song we hear.
Break the silence! Free the poor! Know our God is near!
