Oh, I Woke Up This Morning (#153)
Oh, I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on freedom.
Woke up this morning with my mind stayed on freedom.
Woke up this morning with my mind stayed on freedom,
Hallelu, Hallelu, Halleluia.
I was walking and talking with my mind …
I was singing and praying with my mind …
Oh, I woke up this morning with my mind …
 
 
Spirit of Life (#123)
 
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.
