Hear My Cry, O God (Psalm 61)

This layered song by psalmist Richard Bruxvoort Colligan is based on Psalm 61. Each part can be taught to a different part of the community or choir. When each is secure, they can be combined to create a rich, textured space for prayer.

The song can be sung a cappella or accompanied.

Part 1:
"Hear my cry, O God. Listen to my prayer."

Part 2:
"From the end of the earth I call to you, though my heart is faint."

Part 3:
"Let me abide with you forever."
