David MacGregor based this song on Psalm 78:1-7, and so it is a psalm of praise I suppose.
Looking at the text it could have a use a recessional.
The sheet music is available at his website.
I made these backings a while ago, so they often a surprise to me. I must have interpreted “purposeful” as light funk/soul.
Give ear to God’s teaching
Lean into God’s word
Hear all God’s saying
we’ve long known and heard
Truth from the saintly
Truth we’ll share forward
In praise of God’s wonders
In praise of the LordWe won’t hide them from our children
May they tell their children too
May they trust in you, O Holy One
Your commands we’re called to doGive ear to God’s teaching
Lean into God’s word …Your wonders will not be forgotten
We will teach our children well
Your word, your truth, your life, your love
Have we a tale to tell!Give ear to God’s teaching
Lean into God’s word
Hear all God’s saying
we’ve long known and heard
Truth from the saintly
Truth we’ll take forward
In praise of God’s wonders
In praise of the Lord
In praise of God’s wonders
In praise of the LordDavid MacGregor
