I found a new song that alleviated, for me, a little of the existential dread that accompanies the uncertainty of a global pandemic.
It reminds me to be still, to do what I can, and to let the rest pass like clouds in the sky.
Sharing in the hope that someone else might feel a break from their stresses.
Earth Song, by Frank Ticheli:
Sing, Be, Live, See.
This dark stormy hour,
The wind, it stirs.
The scorched earth cries out in vain:
O war and power,
You blind and blur,
The torn heart cries out in pain.
But music and singing
Have been my refuge,
And music and singing
Shall be my light.
A light of song,
Shining Strong: Alleluia!
Through darkness, pain, and strife,
I’ll Sing, Be, Live, See…
Peace.
