For the remaining song that Praise to God used from Sister Margaret Scharf‘s collection, I Hear You Calling, she took inspiration from Psalm 145.
This is case where the editors have made their own arrangement and used their handwritten style, whereas with “Mary’s Song” it appears to have been a cut and paste of what was already in her book.
This song a lovely gentle reflection of gratitude and praise. Her music has been a lovely surprise. Yahweh could be replaced with “My God” or “Our Lord” or such.
1 You Lord have always been true to your promise,
Supporting all people who stumble and fall.
You lift us and hold us as Shepherd and Father.
We hear and respond to your call.
Refrain
I find my strength in the Lord.
He feeds me with the joy of his word.
Embracing his people in truth and in love;
With praise and with thanks do I sing, to Yahweh Creator King!
2 I lift up my heart and I reach out towards you.
The kingdom of Yahweh is her and now.
You dwell in our hearts; your message life giving.
Together we meet and we grow.
Refrain
Bridge
Together we journey, and come before you.
You fill us with Spirit and Life.
When darkness draws near and we can’t see the way,
You guide our steps with your light.
Refrain
3 I think of the love of my brothers and sisters,
Which strengthens me daily and urges me on,
To carry the cross and to welcome the kingdom,
To join in the story and song.
With both the hymnal and the source collection long out of print and no way I can find to purchase the sheet music, I will post it here, but I am happy to take it down if anyone can find where the sheet music is available.
