Blessed Be the Source of Life

Blessed Be the Source of Life

Blessed be the Source of Life

a vision quest song

gift of Spirit to Jeanne Marie Merkel

This song came to me as I first entered my solo site for a vision quest in July of 2002. As I went down to the edge of a mountain lake in the Green Mountains of Vermont, this song just began singing me. Verse after verse flowed in a gift of spirit.

May you find blessing in it.

Feel free to ask me to teach you the melody.

The song may be sung by two groups, each taking one part of the chorus and weaving harmonies. They can also do the verses in a call and response format, as if echoing the other group's words across a mountain lake.

Blessed Be, Blessed Be, Blessed Be the Source of Life.

Ble---sed Be, Ble---sed Be

Verse1:

Wind in the trees, flow through me.

Flight of Great Blue Heron, flow through me.

Chorus

Verse 2:

Full moon on the lake, flow through me. (Echo)

Call of wild loon, flow through me. (Echo)

Chorus

Verse 3:

Strength of Mother Black Bear, flow through me. (Echo)

Grace of Leaping Deer, flow through me. (Echo)

Chorus

Verse 4:

River running deep, flow through me. (Echo)

Wisdom of the Earth, flow through me. (Echo)

Chorus

Verse 5:

Grounded Compassion, flow through me. (Echo)

Soulful Hospitality, flow through me. (Echo)

Chorus

Make up as many verses as you would like. It's wonderful to just make them up spontaneously based on whatever you happen to be experiencing in the moment. Enjoy!
