There is another Willow song from before As One Voice that was collected by the Praise to God parish hymnal and it is Trish Watts and Monica O’Brien’s, “One For Others” from the album Take Shelter.
Even though this is aimed at young people, the lyrics are still thoughtful and pastoral.
The sheet music is still at Willow, where you can hear a sample of the track in all it’s eighties synth glory.
My backing attempts to out synth theirs.
Chorus
We’re God’s family, God’s children, lift up your voice;
We’re God’s family, God’s chosen, let your heart rejoice!
United in the Spirit, United in the Son.
We’ll be one for others! One in the Lord!
1 Have you ever been lonely?
Bewildered by the way in which life’s going?
Know it is true, someone is loving you, together we’ll see it through.
Remember the hope that’s been given to you, so reach out!
Reach out! This way is true.
Chorus
2 We are longing for wholeness, expand our minds to know the heart of Jesus.
Show us the way, reveal it this day, together as one we’ll stay.
Claiming the joy we’ve found in your name, so reach out!
Reach out! We proclaim.
Chorus
