This is a song for Lent from emmanuelworship written by Roby Curtis. They have many collections of sheet music available for free download associated with the Ignite conferences they run in Brisbane. I also have some out of print collections from decades ago that I might get to eventually.
The text is rather impressionistic but speaks to the power of feeling forgiven so a calmed down version would suit a second rite of Reconciliation.
There is a particular style they use that works well for youth assemblies but might terrify a parish. To that end I will cease trying to make BIAB sound like emmanuelworship and try their songs in different styles to see if they survive. I did mention they tend to be very long, so the risk is I will be boring, but I neglected to mention the sudden octave leaps lying in wait for the unwary to keep us awake. In general they are soloist material with singalong choruses that all start quietly and then go on an emotional roller coaster of dynamics.
While the sheet music is free it is not free of typos, most of no significance, but I’d replace the C#/A with C#m/A in the instrumental if you don’t want to be jarred badly.
My backing is sort of spooky triphop.
Part 1
I hear your voice, speak in the desert.
I see your light, shine through the shadows.
I lost my way, the voice of the shepherd.
It calls my name, and tells me I am loved.
Part 2
I will never be forgotten, I am called
To live in Kingdom ways, awake this heart of stone.
I look upon your gaze, Father I am loved.
I will not be afraid.

I trust in you alone.
Woah oh own, I trust in you alone,
Oh oh oh, I trust in you alone,
Oh oh oh, I trust in you alone, oh, oh, oh.
Part 4
We are but dust, and like dust, we shall return.
Yet we are loved, and your love, it calls us on.
And we are made, created image of your love.
Our hearts they trust, reckless abandon to your love. Oh.
Bridge x4
Through the ashes we rise, above all the lies,
Setting our eyes towards the Kingdom way in us.
With the angels and saints, declaring your name,
We embrace your legacy and mission on the earth.
Instrumental
Part 5
The Gospel calls my name to be,
Faithful, turn my eyes from evil ways.
Jesus, out of darkness you have saved me.
Extended Tag x8
I will trust in you alone, oh, oh, oh.
