Planning Music for Faith and Lig

Planning Music for Faith and Light Meetings

There are no hard and fast rules but one thing is for certain, most Faith and Light communities love to sing.

It is very helpful if you can get people to lead the songs on guitar. There are some songs which are familiar to many Faith and Light communities. The words to these songs are posted below. If none of your members can play a musical instrument then you have two choices: use recorded music. a CD of Faith and Light songs was made by Claude Gravel at the 2004 Zone meeting. You may contact him or Kirt Bromley (kirtbromley@yahoo.com)

The second choice is to look around for young people in your neighborhood who can play guitar. Contact the youth minister at the local parochial high school or the local church. In addition to getting a music leader you also get the involvement of your local youth which is so essential to building and broadening your Faith and Light community.

Familiar Faith and Light Songs:

Gratitude For Love contact Kirt Bromley for musical notation

Gratitude for love. Gratitude for love. A gift I did not earn. A gift that I receive.

Gratitude for love. It penetrates my soul. A gift of joy and hope. A gift of faith and light.

There’s a hunger in my heart, there’s a hole in my soul.

All the things I have will never satisfy.

The love of God has touched me and has shown me the way.

I want a love like God’s love that won’t go away.

If I say that I love you, I will not run away.

I will stay and accept you for my love is real.

If you do things that hurt me, I will stand off and pray.

I will be close by no matter how I feel.

When I saw you this morning, there was joy in your face.

You had love in your smile and in your warm embrace.

The love in your eyes touched me deep in my soul.

Your love like God’s love, helps me to be whole.

He was called disabled, but his heart was strong and full.

His smile was accepting and his joy touched my soul.

When he gave me his greeting it came straight from the heart.

His meaning was acceptance and such love makes me whole.
