Enjoy the Journey

I wrote this originally for a hymn competition for the Universalist Unitarian Church but found out that the deadline has already passed. So, I finished it anyways. The hymn speaks of how life is a journey and if we embrace that and help others, we will find happiness in our journey's too.

While the words are non-Christian, I can find truth in those words from a Christian point of view. This life is indeed a journey and we should help others on their paths - to lift them up or as simple as a smile. We can make a difference in other people's lives by sharing the joy and happiness we know with others.

Did You Think to Pray?

I had a similar unfinished piece about 10 years ago on this song with the general theme. But it was never finished and eventually abandoned. Fast forward to today and I thought of that theme and wanted to do something for a choir. The Sopranos and Tenors split on parts. The alto is sort of low, but from what I hear, they like low pieces. :)

So, the song and the theme have resurfaced. I have always loved the words and can testify that praying DOES rest the weary. It can change attitudes and make one think about the eternal aspects of life. I hope you enjoy it and welcome feedback. It was fun writing this one.
