All Good Gifts

A Thanksgiving 2020 song. Stephen Schwartz wrote this for the 1971 musical "Godspell." It has always struck my heart.

This last Sunday the violinist Beth Johnson showed up with a chart for us to play it as a prelude, and it's been in my mind all week.

So I just sat down and did a one-take for you. Click on the image above to hear it.

Something I didn't notice till I was uploading this: the Christmas-gift wrappings in the background! Hah! All around us indeed, in every way.
