G’Day Su

We’ve used it for Gifts a lot over the years, but as it is a paraphrase of Psalm 34 it would be a good one for communion on Sundays when that Psalm is listed.

We used to use paraphrases as the actual Psalm setting but that is frowned upon these days and songwriters tend to use the actual words of the Psalm .

cheers
Geoff

Thanks.

I am so happy! I am hoping that I will be chosen to lead it because there is nothing like doing this leading when a song oozes out of your being. What I mean by leading, is just standing up at the podium and announcing the title and number of the song, then lifting your hand up high to signal everyone to sing…. but it’s not a solo or anything… everyone sings. During Advent, I will be doing some of the psalms which will mean singing by myself for part of it… kind of scary, but the more practice I do, the more confident I will become. […]
