Another song by Robyn Horner. You can hear the excerpt at AOV here. It is based on Ps147 and 139. The tune of the verses varies somewhat to fit the text.
Antiphon
I will dance, I will sing, for great is the Lord!
How good it is to praise You, my God!
You gather those who cry alone,
And the wounded, Your touch will heal.
I will sing forever of Your love, O Lord!
I will sing praise to you!
Verse 1
You light the stars, You speak their horizons:
Infinite, all are named.
You are so great, abundant in power,
Your understanding beyond me!
Antiphon
Verse 2
You bear the earth, the clouds in the heavens,
The rain to bring life and cleansing.
You feed the creatures, You colour the fields,
You call us to hope in your love!
Antiphon
Verse 3
How You have searched, how You have known me,
Even before my birth.
Where could I go where You weren’t before me?
Lord I will sing Your praise.
Antiphon
