Song of the week

Sometimes a song just hits you and you are profoundly affected. Earlier this week, that was the song below - Grace Before Sleep by Susan LaBarr. The words and harmonies hit a perfect frequency with me that just resounded. This is one of those songs you put the earphones in, close your eyes, and breathe... enjoy!

How can our minds and bodies be
grateful enough that we have spent, 

here in this generous room…
This evening of content?

Each one of us has walked through storm
and fled the wolves along the road;

but here the hearth is wide and warm.
And for this shelter and this light
Accept, O Lord, our thanks tonight.

Goodnight Moon

I know it's been a while but I had to share this song. One of my favorite books growing up, as I'm sure it's a staple in many other homes, is Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. One of my favorite choral composers recently put this children's book to music and I couldn't be more excited. Enjoy!
