I wanted to share something with you guys and gals. I've always despised religious groups for their preaching, so I'm kinda worried about what I'm saying here... However, spirituality, for me, is not religion - it's a way of life, not just somewhere to be on Sunday mornings (and please, I'm not knocking anyone who lives that way, but it just doesn't work for me).

Anywho, this song was originally written as a prayer by Leonard Cohen (also wrote/performed "Hallelujah"). It's been covered by several artists, including Jann Arden (Canadian) and The Webb Sisters... This particular video, is the latter, because that's all I could find this morning, though I prefer Jann's version. This song, just speaks to me... it's a reminder that although I have my choices in life, I am living my life for me and the god of my understanding.

So here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPqAcV_aJvg&feature=youtube_gdata_player


And here are the lyrics... Just close your eyes and listen with your ears and your spirit... gives me chills... 

If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing

If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well

And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will

If it be your will

Wishing you all peace this holiday weekend...
