Song of God’s People

Coincidentally the next song in the miscellaneous folder is another Monica Brown song. It may have been from a school liturgy from when my children were younger. This one does sound like a children’s song, although the lyrics are solid enough from a liturgical perspective.

You can hear a sample and buy the music at Emmaus.

Chorus

Let the trumpets sound, let the music play,

Let the song of God’s people be heard,

And let the praise of God resound throughout

heaven and earth.

Verse 1

People of God sing out your praise,

Sing of the glory of our God,

Lift up your voice and let your praise be heard.

Chorus

Verse 2

The sick, the needy, the broken the poor,

The rich, the strong, all gathered as one,

Blest and made whole in the love of our God.

Chorus

Verse 3

In You, oh God we place out trust.

Your love and kindness, You lavish on us,

We celebrate Your life in us, oh God.

Chorus
