43. When We Are Singing (lyrics: K. Padworski) | Justice Choir Memphis

Justice Choir Memphis - Virtual Choir; Camille Winton, soloist; Daniel Ward, conductor. ❤ Tune: "Somos del Señor." Lyrics: Kevin T Padworski. From the #JusticeChoir Songbook: www.justicecho... (lyrics below)
Kevin writes: "I wrote this text and arranged the song for the Justice Choir Songbook with the hope that through the practice of singing together, even those with seemingly unsurpassable differences find common ground and community."
Note from Justice Choir Songbook co-editor, Ahmed Anzaldúa: Though this tune appears in hymnals in the United States credited as "Traditional Mexican," it has no characteristics of Mexican indigenous music, and no one knows who composed it originally. Its first written appearance was in the songbook "Celebremos II" in 1983, transcribed from an interview with a Mexican woman in Los Angeles following a worship service. It may have been composed in the 1960s.

WHEN WE ARE SINGING (lyrics by Kevin T Padworski)
(verse 1) When we are singing, we are bound together.
When we are sharing, we are free to be.
Both in our singing and in our sharing,
we are bringing change, we are making peace.
(verse 2) Through times of trouble, through times of pain
we offer healing like a gentle rain.
Both in our healing and in our caring,
we are bringing change, we are making peace.
(verse 3) When we are helping, we can be our best,
when we are loving, hurt is put to rest.
Both in our helping and in our loving,
we are bringing change, we are making peace.
