This is the song that I wrote for the retirement service of our college chaplain.  It later served as the call to worship for our wedding, with Allison, Gloria, Dave, Dan, Tom and Matt doing the honors.


Searching the world for souls to partake

in an ongoing song of joy

Where those who share a kindred path

Lift their voice together


I found myself on troubled seas

In fear for life, my hope began to disappear

I reached out, He took my hand, He saved me

He rescued me from all my fear


O taste and see

That the Lord, that the Lord is good.


The sun and rain, the joy I know

From day to day, from day to day  by Him I'm blessed

Anything I do that happens to be good

I count as His success


O taste and see

That the Lord, that the Lord is good.
