These are the words to a song by the band Iona. The term wild goose in the Celtic Christian tradition refers to the Holy Spirit. You can hear the song in the video below. It’s such a beautiful song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HERE I STAND<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here I stand, looking out to sea
Where a thousand souls have prayed
And a thousand lives were laid on the sand
Were laid on the sand<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years have passed, since they have died
And The Word shall last
And the Wild Goose shall fly
Shall fly<\/p>\n\n\n

Here I stand, looking out to sea
And I say a prayer
That the Wild Goose will come to me
The Wild Goose shall come to me
