Dylan Covers: The Times They Are a-Changin' (Tracy Chapman)
In honor of Bob Dylan's birthday this week, I'm sharing some of his songs performed by other singers. Who better than Tracy Chapman to perform Dylan's signature song, "The Times They are a- Changin'." This performance is from a celebration of Bob Dylan's 30th Anniversary as a recording artist.

Holy Saturday (The Welcoming)
The Welcoming
God is like a welcoming mother
Holding creation close.
God is like a welcoming mother
Holding creation close.
Am I too old to come back?
Could I retrace those steps?
God is like a welcoming mother
Holding creation close.
Am I too old to come back?
She hears the question
Because God is more than a welcoming mother.
Is it too late?
She hears the question
She hears the question
Because God is more than a welcoming mother.
God is a vibrant woman
Ready to return.
She hears the question
Because God is a vibrant woman
Ready to return.
In the silence of our despair
As we question the world around us
God is like a vibrant woman
Ready to return.
She bends down like a welcoming mother
Holding creation close.
She moves like a vibrant woman
Ready to return.

"…how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings…"
(Matthew 23:37)
"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!" (Isaiah 49:15)
"But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother." (Psalm 132:2)
"When Israel was a child, I loved him... I was to them like those who lift infants to their cheeks, I bent down to them and fed them... How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, O Israel? .... my compassion grows warm and tender." (Hosea 11:1,4,8)
"For wisdom is more mobile than any motion; because of her pureness she pervades and penetrates all things. She is a breath of the power of God, and a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty."
(Wisdom 7:24)
The rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come."
(Song of Solomon 2:11,12)
