This attempt to make a song from the readings each week is not producing songs for the assembly I’m afraid, but this is just how they come out.
I liked an odd phrase from this week’s OT reading (Isaiah 22:19-23) “I drive him like a peg into a firm place.” I combined that with some of the ideas in Romans 11:33-36 and came up with a bizarre blues with chords that just shouldn’t be in a blues song.
Refrain
The Lord on high lets the lowly feel His grace.
Driven like a peg into a firm place.
1. Can you penetrate his motives?
Can you understand his method?
Can you give the Lord counsel?
Do you know the mind of God?
2. Can you plumb the depths of God?
Can you try to change the weather?
Can you give Him anything?
To Him be glory forever.

Sheet Music: Driven Like a Peg
I’m afraid I just ported the music from my BIAB arrangement to pdf this time – I couldn’t face transcribing all the triplets into Finale.
