Another perfectly singable liturgical song by Chris deSilva from Perth. It s based on Psalm 33, which comes up in the nineteenth week in Ordinary Time soon, but has a more general Eucharistic application. You can take you pick of six verses.
I’ve scanned in the sheet music:
I still working through Chris deSilva’s newer songs that he showed us at the APMN conference last year but aren’t up on his website yet.
This is an entrance song for a funeral.
This is a funeral song designed as a song of farewell.
There are no chords in the sheet music so I made some up that are almost certainly incorrect. It still sounds a good song.
I’d love to hear the SATB arrangement.
I’m still putting up the newer songs of Chris DeSilva (from Perth) that he hasn’t yet put up on his site.
This is a Christmas song with lovely lilting tune that deals in the paradox of the Christmas story.
This is a scan of the sheet music.
You can sing along to my backing to learn it.
Because it’s our parish mass at St Peter’s this week we are using the psalm from the Mass of Saints Peter and Paul.

This is another of DeSilva’s songs with a specific use within the RCIA but which could act as a blessing in many circumstances.
I’ve scanned the sheet music:
My backing just goes through the songs once but it could be repeated until the need passes.
If you are after his sheet music follow the instructions on this flyer.
This is another of Chris deSilva’s newer songs.
This one is for RCIA and I’ve scanned the sheet music and instructions to here:
He has lyrics for before and after the catechumens are baptised so he thinks of everything.
This has his trademark sing-ability.
You can learn it by singing along to my backing.
Voices As One has syncopated me into submission so I’ll finish volume two of that later.
I had been waiting for Chris DeSilva to put up his newer songs he gave us at the APMN conference in Perth last year on his website. That hasn’t happened so I’ll jump the gun and put up some backings of these songs, because they are good, usable, liturgical songs.
Chris describes “Jesus Promised” as a Trinitarian gathering song, which is based in part on Matt 18:20.
I’ve scanned the sheet music to here:
He put a held D in the song so you might want to drop the key from D to C if that bothers you…well it bothers me.
Entrance: Prepare the Way of the Lord (Boniwell)

I praise you for I am wonderfully made.
