The last song in Beth Doherty’s book, An Attutude of Beatitude, is this song honouring the work of grace in our lives. She notes its applicability for anointing and reconciliation. She also notes the influence of the song “Go Tell Everyone” by Alan Dale and Hubert Richards, and this song too would also make a good recessional.
The range is A to A, but capo up if need be. 12/8 time suits pianists arpeggiating more than guitarists strumming, but we should just strum less and prevent tendonitis.
This collection is different to most in its ambition, in that it is integrated into a thematic collection of reflections for group use in school and parishes. Beth Doherty is to be congratulated for going beyond the songs themselves into creating a spur for us to be Christ in the world.
