I am looking at John Burland‘s new collection, We Follow Jesus.
This song is about what Scripture means to us. It would have a place in any gathering before a reading from the Bible, especially in a school setting. I’m not sure it fits into a usual Catholic mass anywhere.
The sheet music collection costs only $A20 at Burland’s website.
My backing uses what I call the “My Friend the Chocolate Cake” cello setting.
1 Living Word of God
Words of Faith and love
The words of Sacred Scripture
Giving meaning to our lives
2 Living Word of God
Where God reveals to us
An unending love for all
As we encounter Jesus Christ
Chorus
God’s Word will always be the light that guides our lives
To show the way to live as we journey on our way
God’s Word will always be the light that guides our lives
Through every day God’s Word will burn in us(Repeat the whole song with chorus twice at the end and the last line repeated.)
