How Shall I sing to God?

David Haas

How shall I sing to God when life is filled with gladness,
Loving and birth, wonder and worth?
I'll sing from the heart, thankfully receiving, joyful in believing.
This is my song, I'll sign it with love.

How shall I sing to God when life is filled with bleakness,
empty and chill, breaking my will?
I'll sing through my pain, angrily or aching, crying or complaining
This is my song, I'll sign it with love.

How shall I sing to God and tell my Savior's story:
passover bread, life from the dead?
I'll sing with my life, witnessing and giving, risking and forgiving.
This is my song, I'll sing it with love.

Hosea

Gregory Norbert, OSB

Come back to me with all your heart.
Don’t let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend, though straight and tall.
So must we to others call.

Ref:
Long have I waited for
Your coming home to me
And living deeply our new life.

The wilderness will lead you,
To the place where I will speak.
Integrity and justice, with tenderness you shall know.

You shall sleep secure with peace; faithfulness will be you joy.
