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.
