A Song for Micah 6:1-8

This question recently came in to The Hymn Society staff.

 

The Question

Hi Brian,

I’m looking for a congregational song as a response to this coming Sunday’s Micah 6:1-8 reading. (They are referencing the Revised Common Lectionary reading for this Sunday, January 29th, 2023). Any suggestions?

Signed,

Music Minister of Baptist Church in North Carolina

 

The Answer

Dear sibling in Christ,

Here’s a great song newly written for last year’s World Council of Churches Assembly. Great to weave in the scripture reading, prayers, or whatever inbetween each repetition. The instrumentalists in the recording are just riffing off of the chord progression, so no written instrumental parts. The composer is Iain McLarty of Scotland.

You can see it in the liturgy here:

I hope you love this song as much as I did. God be with you!
