Our Help is from the Lord

Getting back to As One Voice: the Next Generation, at No 105 is Paul Melley’s song “Our Help is from the Lord.”  He’s had a brave stab at a rocking Psalm with some success, although using words like “whence” jars somewhat and the verses fit somewhat awkwardly to the tune.  If you are going to rock out a psalm, at least be brave enough to have a modern respectful rendering of the text.

If you are happy to have a cantor do the verses, I’m sure it would be fine, as the chorus is catchy and easy enough for assembly to belt out.

If you have AOV NG you can sing along to my backing to learn the song.
