Gather Us In by Marty Hagen

Why Not?  With lyrics like "Not in some heavens light years away," Tom
Cruise and a bevy of scientologists might show up.

Song of the Body of Christ by David Haas

Why Not? In his haste to get this song to print, the composer forgot
to mention Jesus.  The song is all about us.

Marita,

I especially like it when the song gets really song and mournful, "I
danced on a Friday when the sky turned blaackkk...blowing their nose in the background>...it's hard to daaance....with
the devil...on...your...back....<sniffle>....

and then at the end of the verse it gets super-peppy and it almost
makes you want to do a Riverdance type of jig after springing up into
the air "but I am the dance and I still go on!!"

Haha. Crazy songwriters.

My life flows on in endless song;
Above earth's lamentation.
I hear the read though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.

(Chorus)
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that Rock I'm clinging.
Since Love is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep Stomp, stomp,

from singing?

Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear that music ringing;
It sounds and echoes in my soul;
How can I keep Stomp, stomp

from singing?

Repeat Chorus

What though the tempest 'round me roar,
I hear the truth it liveth.
What though the darkness 'round me close,
Songs in the night it giveth.

Repeat Chorus

When tyrants tremble, sick with fear,
And hear their death knells ringing;
When friends rejoice both far and near,
How can I keep from singing?

Repeat Chorus

The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing.
All things are mine since I am his;
How can I keep Stomp, stomp

from singing?

Repeat Chorus.

This Is the Processional Hymn for the Wedding Hands Down hahaha

BTW i added the Stomps hahaha For Dramatic Purposes

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Beau, that is HILARIOUS!!!!!

My sister (Kathy) and I used to laugh at that song SO MUCH because it
seriously sounds like the choir director needs to be churning butter
while she is singing the song.

Oh my gosh..and the stomps are perfect.

Ah...at least that is one benefit of silly music, that all American
churches have been infected by it and we can enjoy it together!!

Also, Lord of the Dance may prove to be too big a temptation for the
bridesmaids to break into impromptu liturgical dance ala Steven
Colbert's dancing to "The King of Glory" with some Bollywood moves and
grooves added.
