4. Music Notes
Today we pay homage to some of the musicians who have influenced Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Artistic influences when he was at Howard University: "The art I was coming to love lived in this void, in the not yet knowable, in the pain, in the question. The older poets introduced me to artists who pulled their energy from the void – Bubber Miley, Otis Redding ..."
Bubber Miley was the greatest soloist of the early Ellington bands. His growling trumpet is a highlight of numerous recordings from the 1920s. He died of tuberculosis at the age of 32.

5. Lyrics Someday When we are wiser When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray
Someday we may yet live
To live and let live
Someday
Life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
Greed wil not pay
God speed
This bright millenium
Let it come
Wish upon the moon
One day
Soon.

8. Here in this place new light is streaming,
Verse 1
Here in this place new light is streaming,
now is the darkness vanished away;
see in this place our fears and our dreaming,
brought here to all in the light of this day.

9. Gather us in the lost and forsaken, gather us in no two just the same;
Chorus 1
Gather us in the lost and forsaken,
gather us in no two just the same;
call to us now, and we shall awaken,
we shall arise at the sound of our name.

10. We are the young, our lives are a myst’ry,
Verse 2
We are the young, our lives are a myst’ry,
we are the old with wisdom and grace;
we have been sung throughout all of hist’ry,
called to be light to the whole human race.

11. Gather us in the Buddhist and Pagan,
Chorus 2
Gather us in the Buddhist and Pagan,
Humanist, Atheist join in the throng;
gather us in the Theist and Seeking,
give us the courage to enter the song.

12. Not in the dark of buildings confining,
Verse 3
Not in the dark of buildings confining,
not in some heaven light years away;
here in this place the new light is shining,
now is the moment, now is the day.

13. Gather us in from all tribes and nations,
Chorus 3
Gather us in from all tribes and nations,
gather us in, no one left alone;
gather us in, a great celebration,
fire of love in our flesh and our bones.

25. Chalice Lighting
Jo Winn
ASUUC Member

26. You may possess only a small light, but uncover it, let it shine, use it in order to bring more light and understanding to the hearts and minds of men and women. Give them not Hell, but hope and courage. Do not push them deeper into their theological despair, but preach the kindness and everlasting love of God.
― John Murray

27. Church is a place where you get to practice what it means to be human.

49. “The spirit of Love will be intensified to Godly proportions when reciprocal love exists between the entire human race and each of its individual members. That love must be based upon mutual respect for the differences in color, language and worship, even as we appreciate and accept with gratitude the differences that tend to unite the male and female of all species. We do not find those differences obstacles to love.”
--George de Benneville

55. It goes on one at a time,
it starts when you care
to act, it starts when you do
it again after they said no,
it starts when you say We
and know who you mean, and each
day you mean one more.
- Marge Piercy

56. We will now receive the offering so that, through our generosity, we can each day reach one more.

Ordinary Miracle
by: Sarah McLachlan
Performed by: ASUUC Choir

59. Lyrics Tell us what elements you blend.
It gives us strangely little aid,
But does tell something in the end.
And steadfast as Keats' Eremite,
Not even stooping from its sphere,
It asks a little of us here.
It asks of us a certain height,
So when at times the mob is swayed
To carry praise or blame too far,
We may choose something like a star
To stay our minds on and be staid.

60. Music Notes

The composer states that this piece is about overcoming adversity and becoming the person you want to be

87. Lyrics I thought home was all I'd ever want
My attic all I'd ever need.
Now nothing feels the way it was before
And I don't know how to proceed.
I only know I'm meant for something more
I've got to know if I can be
Astonishing

88. Lyrics There's a life That I am meant to lead
A life like nothing I have known
I can feel it
And it's far from here
I've got to find it on my own
Even now I feel it's heat upon my skin.
A life of passion that pulls me from within,
A life that I am making to begin.
There must be somewhere I can be
Astonishing
Lyrics

89. Lyrics There's a life That I am meant to lead
A life like nothing I have known
I can feel it
And it's far from here

Even now I feel it's heat upon my skin.
A life of passion that pulls me from within,
A life that I am making to begin.
There must be somewhere I can be
Astonishing
Lyrics

90. Lyrics I'll find my way I'll find it far away
I'll find it in unexpected and unknown
I'll find my life in my own way
Today
Here I go
And there's no turning back
My great adventure has begun
I may be small
But I've got giant plans
Lyrics

91. Lyrics To shine as brightly as the sun
I will blaze until I find my time and place
I will be fearless,
Surrendering modesty and grace
I will not disappear without a trace
I'll shout and start a riot
Be anything but quiet
I'll be Astonishing
Astonishing, at Last
Lyrics
