• Notes: Responsorial refrain to reading of Psalm 15. Tone included for chanting. The spiritual “I’m Gonna Live So God Can Use Me” is an affirmative response of commitment. Additional stanzas (I’m gonna speak . . . I’m gonna share . . . I’m gonna pray . . . I’m gonna sing . . . ) may be improvised throughout the chanting or speaking of the psalm or as a conclusion. Selection 15B, “Lord, Who Shall Be Welcome,” provides an alternate refrain that is less affirmative and more introspective.
