Solo verse; Congregational chorus

  1. All My Life
    By: Ken Medema

    "All my Life" is a contemporary setting of Psalm 73 and offers a little bit of everything! Ken Medema uses funky rhythmic music for us to sing about the frustration of walking in God's ways while watching evil flourish, and he pairs that with contemplative music as we sing a prayer of gratitude for our salvation and for God's abiding presence. This song is best suited for a vocal solo but the opening verses also allow congregational participation. "All my Life" can be performed with piano and additional rhythm section instruments (guitar and drums). Look for these additional titles in this series of Psalm settings by Ken: "God, I am Beaten, Battered, and Bruised (Psalm 56)," "It's Good to Give Thanks (Psalm 92)," and "We Will Raise Our Eyes (Psalm 121)."

  5. Bless This Good Earth
    By: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan

    "Bless This Good Earth" is a song for body anointing. It was originally made to fit within a Holy Week service remembering the Woman with the Alabaster Jar who anointed Jesus days before his death (John 12:1-3, Luke 7:36-50, Mark 14:3-9, Matthew 26:6-13). The central refrain invites the community to sing of our bodies the way we do on Ash Wednesday-- as dust, good earth. The verses invite a blessing with oil or water on eyes, ears, lips, heart, shoulders, hands and feet. Learn More
