live again."

response anthem, ideal for rededication or baptism services.

Remembering Home—Orin Johnson. Two profound songs of
exile are paired in this moving anthem: the Latin text of Psalm 137,
"Super flumina Babylonis," which is the Israelites' lament of their
exile in Babylon, and the slavery-era spiritual Sometimes I Feel Like
a Motherless Child. Set in F minor, with poignant dissonances in
the accompaniment that mirror the anguish of the lyrics, this will be
especially appropriate during any season or service of lament with
people who have suffered devastation, displacement, persecution, or
oppression. Easily learned, hard to forget.

Loves Me)—Patti Drennan. A special worship moment is created with
this intergenerational anthem, recalling some of our most beloved songs

together, it's a pure delight!
