I like "I want to walk as a child of the
light" and "Go down Moses"
-
When we sing the Tallis Canon it reminds me
of hte Magnficat prayer. I like to think about the words. I think
that the tune matches Mary; it is very peaceful. The song is about
Mary saying yes and Mary's words describing God's glory, holiness,
love, and joy.
-
I like "Go down Moses" because it is really
jazzy, and jazzy is my thing, and I think it's catchy.
-
When I listen to "I want to walk as a child
of the light," I feel like I'm walking with Jesus at night with
stars and we are walking to heaven. Mary is special to me because
she gave us Jesus and she's humble and amazing.
-
The song that really speaks to me is
"Nature's praise" because I am really connected to nature a lot. I
recently went on a trip to Eastern Washington, and we went to a
place called Lewis and Clark Trail State Park. A river runs through
it and in the river I saw lots of snakes. I caught two of them. The
first one was about average size and the next one I caught was
clearly a baby. That experience really helped me appreciate nature
and everything in it.
-
"Nature's Praise" speaks to me because a lot
of the time when I walk I like to see the nature around me and it
relaxes me and shows me a character with its beauty. So in this song
it directly praises the earth because the earth is one of God's
creations.
-
"Nature's Praise" stands out to me out of all
the other songs because it really and truly is about Nature, and its
words go together so nicely! I love Mary because she is my mother
and the mother of my friends, so that makes me sisters with them!
-
When I sing "Thou that art so fair and
bright," I think of Mary because verse 2 and 3 talk about Mary. I
also think of Father Ryan because I know that the song has been with
him most of his life. Mary is special to me becauuse she gave us
Jesus and she was a very humble saint.
-
I like "Dear Lord and Father" becauuse to me
it is forgiving our sins in the form of a song.
-
I love two songs! 1. Ave Maria is a beautiful
song and it brings joy to me because even though it is in a
different language you can still understand the meaning. 2. Nature's
Praise is wonderful because it sorta means you can praise God in
lightning storms or thunder and also praise him whenever.
-
"Thou that art so fair and bright" makes me
think about Mary and how humble she was. A lot of people would
probably treat being chosen by God by running around telling
everyone "Look at me! I've been chosen by God!" But Mary was very
humble. She kept her head down adn told people that God was the
great one.
-
"Nature's Praise" makes me think of hiking in
the woods iwth my dad and my brother. When you're out in the woods
you see lots of evidence of nature's beauty. Also, in nature's
praise you see the harmony of living things, also evident in nature.
Mary is special to me because she is the ideal mother. She
encourages and supports Jesus. She stays with him until the end.
-
The Ave Maria speaks to me the most because
the song reminds me of Mary and that song reminds my grandmother of
her mother and it makes her cry.
-
A song that truly speaks to me is "Nature's
Praise." I love that it talks about the whole world praising God,
not just people. All animals love God, even if we don't understand
them, they praise him, too in their own special beautiful way. Mary
is special to me, because she's always watching over us, and praying
for us. I like how pure Mary is, and how she said yes to God and
listend to his call. I like how she loves us like her own children.
-
"Dear Lord and Father" makes me feel happy
and the beauty of the song is awesome! It has beautiful descants and
we sing it so well it's awesome.
-
When I sing "Thou that art so fair and
bright," I feel connected to Mary and humble and when I sing the
Latin and English together it is so beautiful. I love the way the
Latin puts in such a lovely touch to already gracious words and I
get so happy and calm whenever I sing it. Also, I've been singing
"Thou that art so fair and bright" since I was really young, so I
kinda grew up with it, so I always knew how kind, humble, and
gracious Mary was which is expressed in the song. Mary is special to
me because of how she always looked up to God and did whatever he
asked her and I want to follow her example and always be very
humble. Mary is also very special to me because she gave birth to
Jesus who did so many great things for us and Mary also did such
great things for God. They are both terrific role models and so
kind.
-
I like "I want to walk as a child of the
light." I think of stars and how I am a star, and how everyone else
is also like a star. Mary is special to me because I pray to her
when I am sad, and every night.
-
When I sing "Thou that art so fair and
bright," I feel closer to Mary. I feel as if she's in the room
listening, just invisible. I do not feel like that with most songs.
One thing I really like about "Thou that art so fair and bright" is
that it has Latin in it. One reason I feel close to Mary is because
she mothers everyone. That is a big responsibility! Another reason
is because she said "yes" to the Lord. I think that is great!
-
The song "Nature's Praise" speaks to me
because I think that it's like all the animals, and all of creation
coming into one place to worship God. I like that because to me it
relates to how I go to church every Sunday, and I think it's really
cool how the song does that. Especially in lines like: "White-tail
by leaping, lizard by creeping, fall into line!"
-
When I sing "Nature's Praise," I feel like it
lifts me off the ground!
