I'm coming in late again (it's known as gillivering on a ng I belong to,
after a member who does it all the time:)

I know the one you mean, and the second section I think is from Psalm
121 (I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills), but (done from memory):
Sing God a simple song, lauda laude
Make it up as you go along, lauda laude
Sing as you want to sing
Go d loves all simple things
For God is the simplest of all
You quite sure that comes from a psalm, Karen? :)
I am assuming you mean the second section only. Is it published
separately?
cheers
Linda
