Songs My Father Taught Me

By Francyl Gawryn

This recording is dedicated to my mother, who taught and still teaches me to love music.   I would also like to express my deep appreciation to Ken Fordyce of Mirror Sound Studios for your invaluable input on the production of these songs, Gard and Florence Jameson for your tireless support, my husband, Marvin, and daughters, Mikaila and Jessica for your precious love, patience and encouragement while Mom ‘does her music.’

     Dearest Holy God, your uncountable blessings grace and embrace our every move, breath, and thought.  Teach us to dance, sing, weep and howl to your everlasting glory!  Amen

Brother Sun, Sister Moon

Sweet is the feeling, stirring deep within me,

Humble and loving, born within my heart

Sweet understanding, that we, no longer lonely

Life great and giving asks us to take part.

You give the gift of your love so abundantly

Resplendent, generous and full, surrounding me

You give your gifts of sky and shining star

Our brother Sun, our sister, the Moon

Our Mother Earth, with fruit and field and flower

Wind and fire, air and pure water,

Fountain of life, you give to all your creatures

We sing your praises, God our Father

You have created all the Universe,

We sing your praises, God our Father,

We every one are all your creatures.

You give the gift of your love so abundantly

Blessed are they serving in humility
