This song is so moving. You can really feel the presence of God through the lyrics and the melody.
Al from Glassboro, NJ on September 9, 2007
I heard this song today at church for the first time. The way Jocelyn performed this song was so beautiful that I can't get it out of my head.
Lorraine from Philadelphia, PA on March 17, 2006
I heard this beautiful song while at the funeral of my friend's mom, and I was so moved. The words and music stay with me constantly and I'm always singing it in my head!
Nancy from Cincinnati, OH on March 9, 2006
I've performed this piece with 70 voices and with 8. Either way, you won't find a more appropriate meditation song, especially during Lent. It's on my personal funeral play list!
Sheila from Protivin, IA on October 23, 2005
Great instrumental, and beautiful vocals. Prayerful and meditative. Soothes the soul.
1. Long before the mountains came to be
and the land and sea and stars of the night,
through the endless seasons of all time,
you have always been,
you will always be.
Refrain
In ev'ry age, O God,
you have been our refuge.
In ev'ry age, O God,
you have been our hope.
2. Destiny is cast, and at your silent word
we return to dust and scatter to the wind.
A thousand years are like a single moment gone,
as the light that fades
at the end of day.
3. Teach us to make use of the time we have.
Teach us to be patient even as we wait.
Teach us to embrace our ev'ry joy and pain.
To sleep peacefully,
and to rise up strong.
