The anthem I sang at the July service was this song that I wrote just two days before. I have decided this is my reason for being. “Heart, Soul, Voice” is also the name of my Celtic ensemble (but in Irish), “Chroi Anam Guth”.
Heart, Soul, Voice
Heart is a deepest feeling
That I cannot deny.
Heart is a driving passion
That I cannot defy.
Soul is a quelling empathy
When others can’t say why.
Soul is a soothing sympathy
When others need to cry.
Chorus:
Voice is the joyful sound
My heart needs to not break.
Voice is the willful path
My soul needs most to take.
I have seen your beauty
my heart must sing its song.
I have felt your anguish
my soul must then be strong.
Let my voice encircle you
and hold you all around.
Let my voice so strengthen you
to stay the road you’ve found.
Chorus
My heart, my soul, my voice
Bear you on a wing.
My heart, my soul, my voice
Lift you while I sing.
My Heart, my Soul, my Voice
Are my feet upon the ground.
My Heart, my Soul, my Voice
Break chains with just a sound.
