*This is the Responsorial Psalm from my "Mass for Peace in Our Time* The response is sung the first time by the Cantor, and then by the Assembly, and then by the Assembly between each verse. Response:We shall receive strength from the Lord, and He will bless us with peace Give to the Lord you mighty, give the Lord glory and strength Give glory to His name and worship Him in beauty Response We hear the voice of the Lord crossing the rivers and thundering upon the oceans, Powerful and majestic is His voice, bringing strength and peace to all Response We hear the voice of the Lord breaking through the forest The tress bend and sway to His will the trunks skipping like calves Response We hear the voice of the Lord through the fire, dividing the flame He shakes the wilderness when we are lost and guides us home Response The voice of the Lord discovers the lost and speaks to the hidden and in His temple, all speak of His glory The Lord sits upon the flood and thus shall He sit as king forever and ever Response --------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Now this is interesting! And I think I understand... Although I do not get caught up in definitions of God via pronouns--smiling, and I don't think you do either--I too appreciate the beauty of diverse forms of worship, and I find this lovely and soothing. |
