Demos Gracias Al Señor
On a trip to Chiltiupán, El Salvador this past January, members of our group were taught this song. It has a simple melody that's easy to follow and learn.
Whenever I hear the song, I'm taken back to the chapel where we learned it, the site where Sister Dorothy Kazel and three other American church women were buried in shallow graves after being murdered by the Salvadoran government.
Demos gracias al Señor, demos gracias,
Demos gracias al Señor (2 veces)
1. Por las mañanas las aves cantan
las alabanzas a Cristo el Salvador (2)
2. Y por las tardes las flores cantan
las alabanzas a Cristo el Salvador (2)
3. Y por las noches los cielos cantan
las alabanzas a Cristo el Salvador (2 veces)
4. Y a todas las horas los hombres cantan
las alabanzas.a Cristo el Salvador (2)
5. Y tú hermano por qué no cantas
las alabanzas a Cristo el Salvador (2)

Uncle Joe,
This song is quite familiar and I think that I may have sung it many times when I did service as an ESL instructor for the parishioners at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish--- a service that I miss a lot.
Keep me posted on any Hispanic doings that come up at your church and so forth, I am always interested in hearing about them and potentially getting involved.
Peace
