Dear Ann and David,  I ran across this song today that was used in the Ecumenical Institute with apologies to the original authors of the music.  In the spirit of John Wesley of putting religious words to familiar secular songs, these words were put to songs.  

I can’t get the words and music to come out right on the "How Long" song from my memory.  I’ll be in Chicago this fall and I’ll try to get one of the songbirds to sing it for me.  Anyway,  I thought of your plea.    I’m enjoying reading “Hillbilly Elegy” by J. D. Vance which gives me hope that things do change.   

Praying for the G-20 event coming up this week in Brussels.

Singing the Prayer Song

PRAYER Tune: Aravah (Hebrew)
When I see my life ever is torn   And loved ones violated   And my failures are daily reborn   Then sorrow with  heaven is weighted	Yet I can gladly em-brace every hour   And praise God’s  inequity   I can sing of my blessings that shower   My joy inexpressible be.	Now here I stand battered to and fro   The chaos within yet surrounding   I cry out my want and  the lack that I know   And power from with- out feel uplifting.	The weight of the world on my shoulders I bear   I echo the  voices that cry   The path of Mankind with my agony bent   And my God I’ll fight on ‘til I die.

And Psalm 13

PSALM 13

Tune: Five Hundred Miles

 

How long, O Lord, wilt thou quite forget me?

How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

How long must I suffer anguish in my soul,

grief in my heart, day and night?

How long shall my enemy lord it over me?

Look now and answer me, O Lord my God.

Give light to my eyes lest I sleep the sleep of death,

​lest my adversary say, "I have overthrown him,"

​and my enemies rejoice at my downfall.

But for my part I trust in thy true love.

My heart shall rejoice, for thou hast set me free.

I will sing to the Lord, who has granted all my desire.
