The second song from Sister Margaret Scharf‘s book I Hear You Calling that found its way into the Praise to God hymnal, is a joyful Trinitarian text that will just need “Yahweh” replaced with “Father” to be useable.
It sounded a little country to me, but I don’t think I’ve ever been that happy myself. I like it.
1 Yahweh, with your tender love,
You lead me to the heights above.
You hold me close, so I have no fear,
And from there I see your world.
Creation’s song has been fulfilled.
My heart begins to sing, as you are near.
Refrain
And the sun has never shone brighter;
The sky has never been so blue.
there’s never been a moment like the present.
I’m glad I’m present with you!
Just to walk by your side means I’ve nothing to hide,
And my fear will go away.
You call from within; new life to begin,
And there’s never been a happier day.
2 Jesus, Lord, you take my hand,
And lead me through the desert sand,
To where I thirst for you, the Living Water.
The river of life begins to flow.
You call, in love to come, to grow.
We walk together to our loving Father.
Refrain
3 Spirit blowing where you will,
Putting life in trees so still.
Hear the birds sing songs of joy and peace.
I watch them spread their wings in flight.
My heart responds with sheer delight!
You come and love and set my spirit free.
