9 Composer Notes Give ears listen, give eyes see. Give words speak and show face. In the midst of so many distractions and duties in our usy lives, this song is a prayer hear God s word, see the presence of Christ in our lives, and then ear witness and share how we recognize God in our lives. Long after I wrote this song I happened upon Henri.M. Nouwen s With Burning Hearts: A Meditation on the Eucharistic Life (Maryknoll, NY: Oris Books, 2003), and this song shares a kindred spirit with the ook. Nouwen parallels the sry of the Road Emmaus (Luke 2:13 35) with the structure of the liturgy: Liturgy of the Word when the two mourning disciples happened upon the stranger, their hearts were urning with his words of comfort and challenge. ( Give ears listen. ) Liturgy of the Eucharist when he oined them at tale, they recognized the Lord esus in the reaking of the read. ( Give eyes see. ) Dismissal at that instant they set out tell the others the Good News. ( Give words speak. ) I hope this song can help reinforce this mandate of conversion and evangelization that is modeled in the liturgy and is the essence of our aptismal call. Possile applications include faith formation pics such as confirmation preparation, discipleship, evangelization, and stewardship. eel free vary vocal and instruntal textures as needed: full choir, contemporary ensemle, and/or youth choir. Of course, the assemly can handle the entire piece.
