  2. Bless This Good Earth
    By: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan

    "Bless This Good Earth" is a song for body anointing. It was originally made to fit within a Holy Week service remembering the Woman with the Alabaster Jar who anointed Jesus days before his death (John 12:1-3, Luke 7:36-50, Mark 14:3-9, Matthew 26:6-13). The central refrain invites the community to sing of our bodies the way we do on Ash Wednesday-- as dust, good earth. The verses invite a blessing with oil or water on eyes, ears, lips, heart, shoulders, hands and feet. Learn More

    By: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan
