Hi everyone,
I present to you 'Song of Peace' used as part of a welcome to a liturgy and can get quite complex in that the song has two choruses that are sing at the same time, splitting th church up into two competitive halves (quite fun too!).
I do recall using this one time and one piece of feedback I received was questionning the reference to the 'gender' of the Holy Spirit (I use the term 'his'). Any advice on this would be very welcome!
Have a great day Richard, and all.

Lyrics:
Jesus turned to his disciples and said to them, "I leave my peace, and as the father sent me, I now send you to every nation' and so in prayer:
Chorus one:
We sing a song of peace, we sing a song to share
A peace bestowed by jesus, to show us how to care.
And may the Spirit spread his wings
Filling our hearts with peace for evermore
to bring us always closer to the Lord
Chorus two:
We sing a song for one another
and we know the truth and life of Christ is held within
so may the, the Spirit, hold us in he peace, so that
We may live forever and always stand together with our Lord.
Jesus turned to his disciples and said to them, "I leave my peace, and as the father sent me, I now send you to every nation'. Go now in my peace.

Just as our bodies need food and water to sustain its self; our spirit requires the same. It is very HARD/DIFFICULT to find dedicated Catholic music stations.

singer songwriter looking for songs and other writers
I am Catholic and I love listening to and promoting Catholic artists.

I love listening to Catholic Music It always helps me pray better and keeps me grounded and rooted in Christ throughout the day.
I'm a Roman Catholic interested in renewing my faith and relationship with God through His Son and our Lord, Jesus Christ. I love music too, mass worship music especially. And as it's been said, whoever sings prays twice(St. Augustine). I hope the worship songs can add spiritual value to my stated journey. The peace of the Lamb of God, who died a shameful and horrible death on the Cross of Calvary for our salvation, be with you.

Song of Peace with the wings of the Spirit
Steve, a very fine song. What a vibrant expression of faith.
I can understand how some would prefer a gender neutral Holy Spirit. Here are some possibilities:
Chorus one:
We sing a song of peace, we sing a song to share
A peace bestowed by jesus, to show us how to care.
And may the Spirit hover over us,
Filling our hearts with peace for evermore
to bring us always closer to the Lord
Chorus one:
We sing a song of peace, we sing a song to share
A peace bestowed by jesus, to show us how to care.
And may the wings of the Spirit spread wide,
Filling our hearts with peace for evermore
to bring us always closer to the Lord

Song of Peace with the wings of the Spirit
Thanks very much Richard. I think your suggestions are beautifully expressive. I may have to change the synopation of the tune slightly to fit, but always a nice challnege! Thank you very much for the recommendations.

Song of Peace with the wings of the Spirit
I realize "prosody" is a challenge – matching stressed and unstressed syllables to the music. How about this?
And may the Spirit cover us,
Filling our hearts with peace for evermore...
or
May wings of the Spirit cover us,
Filling our hearts with peace for evermore...
I see that in Chorus Two you wrote "he" but meant to write "his." I recommend dropping the pronoun. How about this? "hold us in peace" can easily be sung in proper rhythm as even quarter notes. Like so:
Chorus two:
We sing a song for one another
and we know the truth and life of Christ is held within
so may the, the Spirit, hold us in peace, so that
We may live forever and always stand together with our Lord.
