This is another sung prayer from John Burland‘s latest album, Into the World. He wrote this one with Steven Leiweke.
This one has an interesting tune with a slow descending passages in the verses that stand out. It is set in F# of all keys (capo 4 in D for me), which BIAB dislikes but can do. I should note that Burland frequently varies the verses to keep you interested and does it again here.
It would be great for Lent.
The sheet music can be purchased cheaply with the whole collection at his website.
Chorus
Lord shine your light on me today.
Reveal to me the path that I might see.
Lord shine your light on me today.
Reveal to me the path that I might see.
To hear your voice within to show your face again.
1 In the times I turned away and I almost lost my way,
In the times you’ve shown your grace.
Lord hear my prayer.
Chorus
2 In the times you’ll carry me, and give me the strength to be,
In the times I’ll hold you close.
For you always hear me call, and you’ll never let me fall.
You surround me in your peace.
Lord hear my prayer.
Chorus
…to hear your voice within to show your face again.
