The Summons (song)

Tomorrow my class and I fly out to Scotland.  I've been listening to "The Summons" by John Bell, a musician/songwriter from the Iona Community.

Joy is like the rain (song)

It rained today, and I thought of the song "Joy is Like the Rain" by Medical Mission Sisters.


I saw raindrops on my window
Joy is like the rain.
Laughter runs across my pain
Slips away and comes again
Joy is like the rain.

I saw clouds upon a mountain
Joy is like a cloud.
Sometimes silver, sometimes gray
Always sun not far away
Joy is like a cloud.

I saw Christ in wind and thunder
Joy is tried by storm.
Christ asleep within my boat
Whipped by wind, yet still afloat
Joy is tried by storm.

I saw raindrops on the river
Joy is like the rain.
Bit by bit the river grows
Till all at once it overflows
Joy is like the rain.
