This is another of Monica O’Brien’s selection of recent Australian songs.
This is by Michael Harvey and Ronelle McKay and has themes suitable for Lent and Confirmation. It has us singing in the voice of Jesus, which upsets some people, but it makes sense in context. It is a gentle but uplifting ballad.
The sheet music can be purchased at Willow.
1 I have walked these streets among you to show the Father’s way
And I spoke to you in parables that still speak for you today.
My sermon of the mountain called you to see a better view.
Come change your lives, and follow me and live your life anew.
Refrain
Live life anew, we live for you, with you, in you.
Live life anew, we live for you, with you, in you.
2 I have walked this earth among you to bring you life through me.
I was made by love to love you, to teach you to be free
And I died so we might live as one, by my cross you’ll sometimes bear.
The price is paid come follow me and live your life anew.
Refrain
Refrain
We live for you, with you, in you.
