A gorgeous song of gratitude from Elisa Rose.  While this song is in a different format with more words than most community singing songs, it has an instantly sing-alongable and potent final chorus.  I arranged it here with Elisa's permission for singing with Wholehearted Chorus in 2024.

This is a song about taking in support from others in our times of need. Inspired by Resmaa Menakem’s iconic book My Grandmother’s Hands, I first learned this song from Shireen at Song Village in 2022 where I remember my heart opening so wide I just wept in the loving arms of our big, singing community.

Recorded by Lisa Littlebird for Wholehearted Chorus on guitar and vocals with permission from the composer.  Male voice in vocals generated with ConvertKit AI.
