I Will Sing and Make Music (AOV 2/28)

When I get to songs by icons like Br Colin Smith, I acknowledge a degree of cheek in attempting his sort of music on Band in a Box. A portion of this stirring song can be heard at AOV here. He has taken elements of Ps 27 for the verses and possibly Ps 104 for the response.

 Response

I will sing and make music for the Lord,

make music for the Lord my God.

Verse 1

The Lord is my light and my help:

whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the stronghold of my life;

before whom shall I shrink?

Response

Verse 2

There is one thing I ask of the Lord;

for this I long:

to live in the house of the Lord

all the days of my life.

Response

Verse 3

O Lord, hear my voice when I call;

have mercy and answer me.

Of You my heart has spoken:

seek his face.

Response

Verse 4

I am sure I shall see the Lord’s goodness

in the land of the living.

Hope in Him, hold firm and take heart;

hope in the Lord.
