Product Description
verse lyrics from Matthew 5: 3-8. "Singing is praying. It's like praying twice" a quote by our church priest, Father Mike Murphy. He loves music and he says this is such a nice way to pray. This can be an upbeat gathering song, or it can be slowed down for offertory or just a prayer song. This version is for a vocal duet, cello and piano. On this version, you can play it in different ways. As written, I have a vocal duet with refrain and 3 verses. I then have a final refrain that has an echo part and a little different ending. You could do this as a trio by a third person playing violin on the echo part earlier in the refrain. I will leave that open for you to decide how you want to do it. I do have other versions you can purchase as well. cdboss@cvalley.net
Lyrics:
We Sing in Prayer
Verses from Matthew 5: 3-12
Composed by Connie Boss
Refrain:
We gather here
We sing in prayer
Our voices heard
By you O Lord
We sing in hope we sing in praise
To you O Lord
Our voice we raise
In prayer we sing!
V1
Blessed be the poor in spirit
The Kingdom of Heaven is theirs
Blessed be to those in mourning
For they shall be comforted
Refrain:
V2
Blessed be the meek and gentle
For they shall inherit the earth
Blessed be to those who hunger
For they shall be satisfied
Refrain:
V3
Blessed all those who show mercy
For mercy they shall receive
Blessed be those with a pure heart
For they all shall see their God
