God is Our Refuge (Jay Johnson/ Allen Pote)

Frenzy Cool keeps throwing up amazing challenges.  This is a request and another song I’ve never heard of and don’t have the music for. You can listen to the choir freak out singing it here. There is also a pretty generous sample of the music (without guitar chords) there as well and I guessed the rest. You will need to purchase the music from Hope Publishing to have any chance of pulling this off and, of course, you should anyway if you intend to use it. I think it is beyond our sound, so I doubt we’ll have a go, but if Frenzy Cool has a go with her group singing it, it would be great to hear them.

I’ve left space at the end for the choir to handle the repeats of “we will not fear” on their own. My backing is based on chords I had to get off the keyboard music, put into BIAB, turn into a MIDI file and play through Pro Tools SE. It sounds more like Peter Gabriel’s “Shock the Monkey” than the choral version but it is a gross conceit to even try to make a simple computerised backing of such a complicated song.

Refrain

God is our refuge and strength

A present help in times of trouble

Though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea,

Though the waters roar and foam, we will not fear.

Bridge

Come and behold the work of the Lord

The awesome acts of God

He is in the midst of his people, in all the earth

Verse 1

He is the word, we are his hands, he will lead us

He is the air, we are his song,

We will celebrate his presence all the day long.

Refrain

Bridge

Verse 2

He is the rain, we are the stones, he will cleanse us.

He is the air, we are his song,

We will celebrate his presence all the day long.

Refrain

Rpt we will not fear x4
