Echo

This is another emmanuelworship song from the collection fifteen. It is by Roby Curtis and is both an affirmation and vehicle for individual meditation, albeit a loud one in their version.

The sheet music is free at their site. They couldn’t resist an echo in the bridge. The song’s amazingly wide vocal range suggests it is a solo vehicle, except for the “I believe in Jesus Christ” phrase.

In my quest to see if these songs survive outside of the Emmanuel house style I made an alt-country backing. I think it works fine.

1 Your words echo in me, in the depth of who I am.

The truth is softly spoken calling me to place my faith in you, God.

All my hopes my dreams my life, forever in you God.

You will not disappoint.

I know you have a plan for me, just help me see today.

2 Your Gospel calls me boldly, out into the deep.

You never will be beaten, in generosity.

You’re faithful in my life, you never let me down.

The high and the low tide, I’m carried in your arms.

I know, your promises are true, just help me see today.

3 Let your love echo in me, your fire burn so bright.

In your Spirit there is freedom, it breaks the chains I’ve bound.

It’s in you that I’m found, I will not be afraid.

My life a prayer Lord, please take me as I am.

I take up my cross Lord, and give you ev’ry breath.

You are the Lord of my whole life, just help me see today.

I believe in Jesus Christ. You’re the Lord of my whole life. x2

Let your words echo in me x4

Lord!

4 More than just a feeling, I know that your are real.

Give me faith like a child, and innocence to trust,

That you’ll make a way Lord when I cannot see the path.

Prepare me a room Lord, in the Father’s house.

I want my life to count each day x3

Just help me see today.

Outro

I believe in Jesus Christ. You’re the Lord of my whole life. x4
