When our country seems to be going from bad to worse. When I wonder when God will finally say “Enough!” music and poetry can speak to me, along with dwelling in the poetry of the Psalms. So I offer this word. I can’t print the words to the poem, as that would break copyright law, but if you click through on the YouTube video Jake Runestad has printed them with permission on the YouTube page.

… because sometimes (and especially these days), God seems so very silent.

I believe in the sun
I believe in the sun
Even when it’s not shining
Even when it’s not shining
Oh shining, oh shining
I believe in the sun
I believe in the sun

I believe in love, I believe in love
In love

In love
Even when I
Even when I
Even when I feel it not
When I feel it not
I believe in God, in God
Even when (Even when) He is silent
He is silent
I believe (I believe)
I believe in God
When He is silent
When He is silent
When He is silent
When He is silent.
… but I can’t imagine playing the salterio.

Gian Carlo Menotti: To This We’ve Come, from The Consul
Patricia Neway
To this we’ve come,
That men withhold the world from men
No ship, no shore for him who drowns at sea,
No home nor grave for him who dies on land.
To this we’ve come,
That man be born a stranger upon god’s Earth
That he be chosen without a chance for choice;
That he be hunted without the hope of refuge.
To this we’ve come. To this we’ve come.
And you, you too shall weep
If to men not to God we now must pray
Tell me secretary tell me, who are these men?
If to them not to God we now must pray
Tell me, secretary, tell me:
Who are these dark archangels?
Will they be conquered?
Will they be doomed?
Is there one, anyone behind those doors
To whom the heart can still be explained
Is there one anyone who still may care?
…
Oh, the day will come I know
When our heart’s a flame
Will burn your paper chains
Warn the consul, secretary, warn him
That day neither ink nor seal
Shall cage our souls
That day will come.
That day will come.

This, from VOCES8 and Rachel Podger:
As we begin the season of Lent, we reflect on passages from psalms 79 and 103. Set to music by James MacMillan, we have relished performing ‘Domine non secundum peccata nostra’ with Rachel Podger as part of our ‘A Guardian Angel’ collaboration, including in this performance in Brecon Cathedral.
TEXT
Domine, non secundum peccata nostra, quae fecimus nos: neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuas nobis. Domine, ne memineris iniquitatum nostrarum antiquarum: cito anticipent nos misericordiae tuae, quia pauperes facti sumus nimis.
Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster: et propter gloria nominis tui, Domine, libera nos: et propitius esto peccatis nostris, propter nomen tuum.
TRANSLATION
O Lord, repay us not according to the sins we have committed, nor according to our iniquities. O Lord, remember not out former iniquities: let Thy mercies speedily prevent us, for we are become exceeding poor.
Help us, O God, our Saviour: and the glory of Thy Name,
O Lord, deliver us: and forgive our sins for Thy Name’s sake.
