So excited to be singing this along with 10 other Elaine Hagenberg pieces. She's even playing a will be conducting a few pieces! What a brilliant composer! She's an excellent example of the upcoming era in liturgical music!
Very beautiful and sobering. Perfect for our lives right now where many of us feel singing is all that's left to keep peace and hope in a troubled time. Thank you to Elaine for expressing that for us.
Refuge by Sara Teasdale From my spirit's gray defeat, From my pulse's flagging beat, From my hopes that turn to sand, Sifting through my close-clenched hand, From my own fault's slavery, If I can sing, I still am free. For with my singing I can make A refuge for my spirit's sake, A house of shining words, to be My fragile immortality.
Thanks so much, Daniel! Congrats on your upcoming SWACDA performance! I'd love to connect with you and your choir. You can get in touch with me at: www.elainehagenberg.com/commissions.html. Hope to hear from you!
Praying for the enemy to CEASE and DESIST and let my people, OLA and SUSAN..GO FORTH IN THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD..in JESUS name ! Thank YOU! LORD! BLESS THE LORD O MY SOUL..AND FORGET NO ALL HIS BENEFITS...
I'm so glad Jesus is our refuge, He's our solace, comfort, peace and joy, thank you.
Singing this in a choir performance and the cello part brings tears to my eyes.
Me too

Refuge by Sara Teasdale
From my spirit's gray defeat,
From my pulse's flagging beat,
From my hopes that turn to sand,
Sifting through my close-clenched hand,
From my own fault's slavery,
If I can sing, I still am free.
For with my singing I can make
A refuge for my spirit's sake,
A house of shining words, to be
My fragile immortality.
Not the fact that I nearly broke down while performing this. Such an amazing song
This is stunning, beyond words!
@Elaine Hagenburg My High school choir is performing this at SWACDA and I am so excited. Such a beautiful work. I can’t wait to sing this.

The words are quite fitting for today. Thank you.

Really relaxing and soothing.
I can’t be the only one who thought the thumbnail was a crashed star destroyer...
Wait, you mean it ISN’T???
