Spirit of Spring (The Joy Chant)--Lyrics
by Cathy DeWitt
VERSE I wake up and the sun is shining; it makes the whole world bright! A song of praise the birds are singing; singing with all their might.
CHORUS All of the joy and the love come into my life today.
VERSE My heart is full; my eyes are open: everything is new. There's just One Presence and One Power; only Love is true.
CHORUS All of the joy and the love come into my life today.
VERSE A spring of healing light is risen, risen within my soul. * I now am well, I now I am healthy; I am healed and whole!
CHORUS (2x) All of the joy and the love come into my life today.
* Alternate Easter lyrics: The spirit of the Christ is risen.
