I never did get around to more excruciating lapses in taste as promised, but this fail backing is pretty grotesque. Now you know this song by Richard Gillard is respectful and sedate and dignified, but that didn’t stop me making this as a backing for it many years ago. It doesn’t sound like BIAB, so I suspect I made it with a free version of Jammer I used to use occasionally.
1. Brother, let me be your servant.
Let me be as Christ to you.
Pray that I might have the grace
To let you be my servant, too.
2. We are pilgrims on a journey.
We are brothers on the road.
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load.
3. I will hold the Christ-light for you
In the night time of your fear.
I will hold my hand out to you;
Speak the peace you long to hear.4. I will weep when you are weeping.
When you laugh, I’ll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow
Till we’ve seen this journey through.5. When we sing to God in heaven,
We shall find such harmony
Born of all we’ve known together
Of Christ’s love and agony.(Repeat Verse #1)
Someone must have told me that wasn’t right and I came up with this MIDI version that sounds more like it. I’ll try and make a better one when I get to it in As One Voice Volume 2 sometime next year.
