Jazz Alleluia (#1050)
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Allelu.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Allelu.
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Blue Boat Home (#1064)
Though below me, I feel no motion standing on these mountains and plains.
Far away from the rolling ocean still my dry land heart can say:
I’ve been sailing all my life now, never harbor or port have I known.
The wide universe is the ocean I travel and the earth is my blue boat home.
Sun my sail and moon my rudder as I ply the starry sea,
leaning over the edge in wonder, casting questions into the deep.
Drifting here with my ship’s companions, all we kindred pilgrim souls,
making our way by the lights of the heavens in our beautiful blue boat home.
I give thanks to the waves up holding me, hail the great winds urging me on,
greet the infinite sea before me, sing the sky my sailor’s song:
I was born up on the fathoms, never harbor or port have I known.
The wide universe is the ocean I travel, and the earth is my blue boat home.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Allelu.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Allelu.
