Then Sings My Soul Satudays: The Love of God
Please scroll down for Small Talk Six
If I went home and looked for that old songbook I could still probably find it. My mother owns it, (a gift shipped in from the US) but unlike the rest of her music-related collection, a footnote in it got my attention. It's been many years since I read it but it amazes me every time I hear or play The Love of God. It was about the origin of the last paragraph - someone wrote it on the wall of an asylum:
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.
This is a piano version of the song. Here's wishing everyone love, in a way that's best for you.

I might splurge on my dreams, go Anne Shirley of Green Gables if I made a second attempt down the aisle (ok, not exactly second because the first time I squatted for hours in front of nine chanting monks) and have this sung, or I'll play this on the piano myself!

The Godfather is one of my all-time favorite movies. I am reminded of Don Vito Corleone while listening to your music. LOL!
MsRay, it is, yes, the reason why I posted it. I just can't remember if I ever watched The Godfather.
Doylene, you're welcome.
Have a great day!

unfathomable, and so unfailing! How precious is this!
To hear the piano play this tune was such a peace. I tried to remember this song but didn't. However, most of the songs in your Small Talk Six I do remember. How fun!
Thanks for your kind and sweet words for me this day. They have uplifted me. Do you play piano?
I think I remember you saying you did...can you play these pieces?
Such LOVE spoken softly and expressed through whispers of each key in harmony and beauty. EnJOY a special Valentine weekend!
Off to google...
skoots1mom, thanks
Peggy, I do or I used to play the piano. I think my finger joints need oiling or something. It's been awhile I haven't touched a piano. A special valentine to you too.
Elizabeth, glad to know it's a favorite of yours
Thom, I thought since I lost my sidebar widgets so suddenly yesterday, I might as well find my purple :))
babyrocasmom, my mother loves Karen too! It's probably why I love her too.
Beth Larrabee, ah that's a vote now for no. 4 :)
Alexandra, I didn't think of so many beautiful artists when I made my list. I think 6 is never enough for many of us, but well, STS :)
filled with love
and the tender sound
of a voice that gives you comfort.....
Happy Valentine's Day :-)
