I thought of "Farther Along", but I'd like to be inclusive of non-Christians. Does anyone know of any recorded versions of the song that don't have the "Jesus" verse in them? |

From: Joe Offer Well, "Farther Along" has three verses that don't refer to either Jesus or God, so it could be used as a secular hymn. Satisfied Mind is even better. So is Give Me the Roses While I Live. How Can I Keep from Singing is another. Who Will Sing for Me? is another. -Joe- |

From: gillymor Can't help with the original question but here's a few that might fit the bill: Someday My Ship Will Sail- Emmy Lou Harris Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen Ripple-Grateful Dead To Lay Me Down-Grateful Dead Black Muddy River-Grateful Dead, Norma Waterson covered this well The Water is Wide- Karla Bonoff does a nice version as well as The Cowboy Junkies |

That's how copyright/music biz works. Youtube - same start, cut at 3:25 though - don't go farther along - er - um ............ I'll get my cassock...... |
