My lovely wife sat down at the computer the other day with a tune in her head and wrote a beautiful little song from Psalms 14 and 15. I downloaded Finale (notation software) for the Mac and spent a couple days learning it and working out the harmony with Diane. I’m sure the chords aren’t perfect; we’re certainly not trained musicians!
In any case, if you are interested in giving it a shot for your congregational singing, or offering improvements to the arrangement or harmonies, here is the sheet music, and here is a computer generated MP3 file. Have fun with it!
Here are the words:
LET ME BE A LIGHT
Psalms 14 and 14
Oh Lord, who will bow before you?
The fool says there’s no God
He turns to his own way
and falls into the darkness
In this world
CHORUS
So let me be a light
Help me shine so bright
Help me speak the truth in the darkness
One who glorifies
And will testify
With a humble heart for the Lord
Oh Lord, who can stand before you?
We know you look from heaven
To see if we seek you
And fall down on our knees
In this world
CHORUS
Oh Lord, we humbly bow before you
Please help us do your will
Be our guide and give us strength
So we’ll never be shaken
In this world
