Description

For SATB Choir (with minimal divisi) and Keyboard - A wonderful tune with a fresh text.  The text is an adaptation of verses from Psalm 146 by Jackie De Koster Thomas.  Not too difficult and it cleverly incorporates the hymn tune Kremser at the end, so it is appropriate for Thanksgiving or anytime you need a piece focused on the care of creation.  Learning tracks are available for this piece and are accessible from the downloaded .pdf.

Lyrics

I will praise the Lord as long as I live.
I will sing praise to God all my life long.
It is right to give God all thanks and praise,
and worship with voice raised in song.

We praise you, Our God, for your gifts of creation.
For life and for love, for beauty of voice.
For people of faith throughout generations inspire us to sing,
and in your love, rejoice.

May we, through their witness, be always reminded
to sing and to praise you with all of our heart.
By their good example may we be likeminded
to give to you the glory through music and art.
