A searchable, downloadable PDF of the original article, with the music and lyrics of this new song on the next page, appears below. Calvin Brown is the Executive Director of The Renewal Fellowship and Worship Editor of Channels.
It is often in moments of deep emotion or thankfulness that God puts on our hearts a “new song.” That was the experience of the Rev. Roland Wells Jr. of St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church as he came away from the Conference for Renewal Executives with a new appreciation of the overwhelming challenges we face as well as a deeper understanding of God’s will to renew his Church. God gave a song to him that he shares with us.
He suggests that it be played with a “majestic” feel and says some tympani and brass by synthesizer is how they usually do it.
I found that it can also be presented upbeat with well-accented rhythm to good effect.
Congregations are given permission to duplicate and use the song but the release printed below the song should also be used.
