Tune:I'M GONNA LIVE
Arranger:Wendell Whalum

15C. Psalm 15 (A Responsorial Setting)

Text Information
First Line: I'm gonna live so God can use me
Title: Psalm 15 (A Responsorial Setting)
Language: English
Publication Date: 2012
Scripture:
Topic: Church Year: All Saints' Day; Disciples / Calling; Discipleship (24 more...)
Source: Evangelical Lutheran Worship (Psalm text); Afro-American spiritual (Refrain)
Copyright: © 2006 Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, admin. Augsburg Fortress Publishers
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.
