The Weaver of Time (I Will Praise Your Name)
https://musicblog.gregscheer.com/weaver_demo.mp3
This song is based on the Song of Hezekiah (Isaiah 38:10-20). You’ll remember that Hezekiah was told he would die, but he prayed for reprieve, reminding the Lord of his faithfulness. God sent Isaiah to tell Hezekiah that his prayer had been heard and that he would give him 15 more years of life. In response, Hezekiah sang a song of thanksgiving. I was drawn to the way this canticle boldly reminds God that “dead people don’t praise the Lord.” I liked how it connected with standard formulas of lament in the Psalms, and mirrored Christ’s descent into death and resurrection.

TWISTER
[audio mp3="https://gregscheer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/twister.mp3"][/audio]Though this tune twists and turns in surprising ways, it is still very easy to sing. It works beautifully with texts such as “Alleluia! Sing to Jesus” by W. Chatterton Dix and “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling” by Charles Wesley. But it would work best with a new text written by you.
This is an orphan tune, waiting to be adopted by a text to call its own. If you write lyrics for this melody or pair it with an existing text, please report its use to CCLI or OneLicense and let me know how you’ve used it.
