Communion Anthem: "And I Am Still Searching,” Pete Seeger, arr. Olin Johannessen performed live at St. John's Episcopal Church on Sunday, November 6, 2022.

And I am searching

Yes, I am searching

Yes, I'm still searching

For a way we all can learn

To build a world

Where we all can share

The work the fun

The food the space

The joy the pain

And no one ever

Ever need or want to seek

To be a millionaire

This song, And I Am Still Searching, an original arrangement by our own Olin Johannessen, performed on the occasion of the Presiding Bishop Michael Curry's visit to SJC, features the Parish Choir, the combined voices of the Choir School, SJC Youth Music, and Cherubs, accompanied by the Joyful Noise String Quartet and String Bass.

There's not much to say. We suggest keeping a box of tissues nearby!
