A Prayer in the Mountains by Michael J. Oczko — Lyrics
I raise my eyes to the mountains
and seek a blessing there;
Oh Lord, who from the hilltop reigns
look down and hear my prayer.
Who made the earth, the skies, the deep,
Who slumbers not and will not sleep
but guards Israel with sword and shield,
to evil let me never yield.
You, Lord, are constant as my shadow;

The text, an English prayer, expresses a profound reliance on divine protection and guidance, drawing imagery from the natural world and the vastness of the mountains. The solo soprano line will allow for expressive delivery of these heartfelt sentiments, from seeking a blessing to a plea for steadfast direction. The music aims to capture the spirit of the text, offering a contemplative and personal devotional experience for the singer and listener alike.
