Where There Is Joy

Brian Boniwell has mined passages from Romans to channel an uplifting message from St Paul. It has a memorable tune with a triplet hook through most of the refrain. I think a cantor will be needed to cope with the variations between the verses, but the refrain hits a pleasant groove and should be open to the assembly.

Use these contact details to get the sheet music and listen to snippet  of the song here.

My backing goes laid back with a little gentle Latin influence.

 

Refrain

Where there is joy, there is peace.

Where there is faith, there is a light.

Where there is love there is laughter and song.

Where there is hope there is life.

1

For this is know, that neither death nor life

Can take us from the love of the Lord.

Nothing on the earth, nothing in the heavens

Can keep us from the love of God.

2

Nothing from the past, nothing in the future

Can take us from the love of the Lord.

Neither hurt nor sorrow, nor any earthly power,

Can keep us from the love of God.

3

Keep us safe from harm O Spirit of the Lord,

Be with us in the hour of our need.

Lead us to the Father through Christ, the only Son.

Protect us with the strength of your love.

Coda

Where there is hope there is life.
