This song by Timothy R Smith was used at RS’s parish last week. It was new to me and I find it a gentle prayerful song. I appreciate people putting the musical choices for their parishes in the comments as it leads me to nice songs like this one.
It sounds a solo vehicle but I’d be interested in hearing what as assembly could do with it.
The text and some commentary is here and it seems a lovely song for personal reflection – but I’m happy to find out if it works differently. The sheet music can be purchased from OCP.
There is a a few bars interlude after the second refrain – most parishes will ignore that but I’ve left it in my backing.

Lovely Offertory or Reflection song, thanks. It can be obtained from Licensing Online or CCLI if your Parish subscribes to these.
Thank you – I’ve been looking for some new material for our youth choir, and I think this must just fit the bill: Very personal lyrics (teenagers can relate to them), and I hope it’s CCM-enough to not sound like an “old hymn” to teenagers, but still hymn-like enough that it fits into parish liturgy. Will see how we go with it sometime after Easter.
