Another fav...not my choir again...but I have sung this song before...so I can post the lyrics for you...I swear I know them all by heart forward and backwards...

River in Judea

Often times I dream of music
Of a river that freely flows
And it sings a song sweeter than honey
One everybody knows

Late at night I hear it singing
And again when I wake at dawn
And it fills me up with hope and good will
The will to go on...

There is a river in Judea
That I've heard of long ago
And its a singing ringing river
That my soul cries out to know

I believe it keeps on traveling
But it rests on the sabbath day
And the time when it pauses in stillness
I almost hear it pray

When I'm weary and down hearted
How I long for the song it sings
For the calm within its gentle blue
The peace that it brings

There is a river in Judea
That I've heard of long ago
And its a singing ringing river
That my soul cries out to know

May the time not be to distant
When we meet by the river shore
'Til then dream of that wonderful day
As we sing once more

There is a river in Judea
That I've heard of long ago
And its a singing ringing river
That my soul cries out to know

Take it anyway you lot...but its a song that has meant a bit to me for many years...and I love singing it. :)

My dearest friend, I think it is a great blessing to be a spiritual seeker...to me it means ever working and loving and living the spiritual lifestyle the best we can and so I wish that we will always be spiritual seekers in this life... always learning and growing...so I have been blessed to be a spiritual seeker because my thirst and desire to reach His lotus feet is ever growing and expanding.....::shrug:: ah that's just how I see it...to each his own...

Nothing wrong with that. :) Umm..I have not ever sang in a church choir....I was in an intense choir program in high school...one that I miss very much...and now am hoping to join similar next semester...so that first song was sung by some of my peers in the All Shore choir and that last one I have sung for ages because I remember one of my fellow choir members had found it one day and everyone fell in love with it and no one knows why...and for a public high school choir...we sang a lot of devotional songs...and everyone felt them the way they wanted....but always for me personally it was one of the most spiritual experiences....

you'll never reach his lotus feet if you keep seeking for it, while if you stop seeking you will find you're right there.
