First Universalist Church of Denver
Lyrics for John and Sarah 10 Years
As written by Barb Pitman and performed by the First Universalist Choir in honor of John and Sara's 10th anniversary with First Universalist.
To the tune of "We Laugh, We Cry"
CHORUS: We thank them every day for what they bring our way
Sarah and John have made all the difference.
Whether they play or sing, week after week they bring
music that touches, moves, and can heal us.
John H. directs our growing choir, we're running out of seats,
While Sarah's fingers dance on keys, she masters every beat.
New tunes are heard throughout our church, sweet UU melodies
It's clear to see twas meant to be, they have changed this community.
CHORUS: We thank them every day for what they bring our way
Sarah and John have made all the difference.
Whether they play or sing, week after week they bring
music that touches, moves, and can heal us.
One moment John brings reverence to candles as he sings
The next, he belts out Broadway tunes, they really are his 'thing'
In coat and tie or sequined dress he truly owns the stage,
The choir waits with baited breath to see what is on his next page.
CHORUS: We thank them every day for what they bring our way
Sarah and John have made all the difference.
Whether they play or sing, week after week they bring
music that touches, moves, and can heal us.
Now, Sarah's known as calm and cool, her fingers surely dance
Not only can she play the keys, in tutu she can prance
Across the stage, to "Spirit of Life," a true artistic sort
We are amazed with all she does, she's the choir's greatest support.
CHORUS: We thank them every day for what they bring our way
Sarah and John have made all the difference.
Whether they play or sing, week after week they bring
music that touches, moves, and can heal us.
When John and Sarah first came here, who knew how things would be?!
This congregation used to sing so soft and quietly,
Afraid our words just might be heard, afraid notes might be wrong,
Now all the congregation sings with voices loud and strong.
CHORUS: We thank them every day for what they bring our way
Sarah and John have made all the difference.
Whether they play or sing, week after week they bring
music that touches, moves, and can heal us.
