Another spirit song, this time from Gregory Norbet. The version that you can listen to here has something of the chant about it, but is pleasant enough. There is however a lot of competition for these sort of songs and I’m not sure I’m going to rush to this one. That said “birthing our love” is a fine sentiment and sung gently and reverently it would work well.
It can be purchased for download at OCP.
My guitar version of AOV gives a three part harmony for the second half of the chorus that would be worth a try. My backing is more basic.
Refrain
Spirit, come,transform us.
Come be our breath, be our hope.
Spirit, come, transform us.
Come be our breath, be our hope.
Verse 1
Deep in the womb of our heart
Reveal your presence, O God.
Refrain
Verse 2
Draw us to share others’ burdens,
Healing and loving with truth.
Refrain
Verse 3
You are the one who unites us
In striving for justice, for peace.
Refrain
Verse 4
Sing in our heart, be the dancer,
Birthing our love as we grow.
Refrain
Verse 5
Teach us to live with compassion,
Unfolding creator’s love.
Refrain

I love this song – we’ve been singing it at our small Church for quite some time. It’s a very peaceful song, and is very easy to sing. We don’t have a choir and not many good singers, but everyone can sing this.
