This is a sincere sung pray, inspired by Psalm 5, and written by Dolly McGaughey, from the Torres Strait. I should have mentioned by now that the fine arrangements are by Lindsay Scandrett.
The songs I have looked at so far of hers look to be suitable as Taize style chants. When you listen to her voice at Willow, where you can get the sheet music, you will feel peace.
I’ve really enjoyed making backings for these songs:
1 I pray to you, O Lord.
You hear my voice in the morning.
At sunrise I offer my prayer,
And wait for your answer.
I pray to you, O Lord.
You hear my voice in the morning.
At sunrise I offer my prayer,
And wait for your answer.
2 I opened the door for you,
And let you into my heart.
In the stillness of your presence,
I wait for your answer.
I pray to you, O Lord.
You hear my voice in the morning.
At sunrise I offer my prayer,
And wait for your answer.
Coda
I wait for your answer.
I wait for your answer.
