Send Us Your Spirit (AOV 1/97)

This is one spirit song that has emerged from pack of spirit songs, which we do use. Another David Haas song and so automatically despised in some quarters. It is a gentle song with uses for Pentecost and confirmation but also a general entrance or recessional. The instructions “light and rocking” mean back and forth not ROCK.

The text is at Cantus Mundi. It can be purchased at GIA.

This church has red hot go at this song with a soloist doing the verses with additional harmony vocals and ensemble (+ horns) for the chorus.  I suspect this is the original being used for a liturgical dance. I’ve linked this one that is really a bit fast just because the person filming on his camera tries valiantly to follow the words in the songbook and such wierdness merits reward and attention.
