This joyful song by Kerri Meyer, inspired by writer Annie Dillard, has quickly become a favorite in the MMC community. Many of our leaders use it as a sending song, even adding steps that invite the community to dance and sing! It's also a zipper/pocket song that welcomes text changes for the context or season you're in.
"Go on your way in joy, my friends!
Go on your way in joy, my friends!
Go on your way in joy, my friends!
Let your left foot say 'Glory!'
and your right say, 'Amen!'"
Alternative text:
Go on your way in peace...
Go on your way in love...
Go on your way in hope...

The text is taken from the writing of Annie Dillard, who deserves the attribution whenever the song is used, please — especially in print. You can “zip” in all kinds of words appropriate to the occasion, “Go on your way in [peace/hope/faith}…”
Blessings and thanks to everyone who makes this learning and sharing possible.
