A JEWELRY STORE NAMED INDIAIf you hold this Dazzling emerald Up to the sky, It will shine a billion Beautiful miracles Painted from the tears Of the Most High.Plucked from the lush gardens Of a yellowish-green paradise, Look inside this hypnotic gem And a kaleidoscope of Titillating, Soul-raising Sights and colors Will tease and seduce Your eyes and mind.

Since Jimmy Carter, religious fundamentalists play a major role in elections. He was the first president who made a point of exhibiting himself as a born again Christian. That sparked a little light in the minds of political campaign managers: Pretend to be a religious fanatic and you can pick up a third of the vote right away. Nobody asked whether Lyndon Johnson went to church every day. Bill Clinton is probably about as religious as I am, meaning zero, but his managers made a point of making sure that every Sunday morning he was in the Baptist church singing hymns. Noam Chomsky

When I was a child, Mama had the best voice of all the members of the church. She had loved to sing. Her words had soared like an angel's over the swells of the organ. In fact, I now suspected, her entire theology had been taken from the hymnal. Siri Mitchell

The spirit is willing but the body is weak Lead us then our Savoir that we may not slumber Oh Jehovah! Oh Jehovah! Thy strength we beseech to get to the end So we may render a good account of our arduous journey to the end The spirit is willing but the body is weak Lead us then our Savoir that we may not slumber Well done, good and faithful servants you shall say Unto they that shall be faithful with a few things in their days. Come and share your Master’s happiness you shall say Unto they that diligently made their hay in the day. Oh Jehovah! Oh Jehovah! Grant us Thy power to be faithful in our days! The spirit is willing but the body is weak. Lead us then our Savoir that we may not slumber. Certain paths we know seem leading to your throne. But there is only one path to Thy throne we yearn to know; The path of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus! Come to me all you who grow weary He exclaims! Easy is His yoke; lighter is His burden! Our hearts and minds; our burden! The spirit is willing but the body is weak. Lead us then our Savoir that we may not slumber. The end draws nearer and nearer as we take steps to the end. Many are the things we need to do before we get to the end. But many are the things that take our attention as we journey to the end. A heart of understanding oh Jehovah we beseech;that we may do all things pleasant to Thee with understanding. The spirit is willing but the body is weak. Lead us then our Savoir that we may not slumber. . Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

.moments of transport, and of comfort, and of a bracing vastness of possibility. That was all there for me sometimes when I plunged my mind into the Bible’s puzzles; and it was always there in the music of church. I wouldn’t have said it this way then. But I would feel all the cells in my body as I sang hymns that connected my little life with the grandeur of the cosmos, the Christian drama across space and time. This was my earliest experience of breath and body, mind and spirit soaring together, alive to both mystery and reality, in kinship with others both familiar and unknown. That’s one way I’d define the feeling of faith now. Krista Tippett

They here shall be redeemed from sin, Shall here put on their glorious dress, Fine linen, pure, and white, and clean The saints' inherent righteousness. Love, perfect love, expels all doubt, Love makes them to the end endure; Their names thou never wilt blot out; Their life is hid, their heart is pure. Their names thou wilt vouchsafe to own Before thy Father's majesty, Pronounce them good, and say, 'Well done, Enter, and ever reign with me! . Charles Wesley

Many secular observers and spiritual practitioners alike mistake mystical chanting as a kind of anthropological curiosity or interesting musical diversion from secular mainstream entertainment, sometimes labeling it 'world' or 'folk' music. But uttering or chanting spells, mantras or prayers shouldn't be regarded as a romantic excursion to a distant past, or faraway place, or as an escape from our everyday stresses, for relaxation or entertainment. These sounds are meant to be experienced as the timeless unity of energy currents. The chanting of ancient esoteric sounds enables us to realize we are never separate from the one continuously existing omnipresent vibration of the cosmos. . Zeena Schreck
