From Michael Joncas comes Lord, You Have the Words, a graceful responsorial setting of Psalm 19. Designed for liturgical use as a Common Responsorial Psalm for Ordinary Time, the setting offers a memorable congregational refrain and a flexible verse structure that supports prayerful reflection on the text. Originally scored for harp, the accompaniment may also be played on piano, organ, or guitar. With its elegant simplicity and pastoral usefulness, Lord, You Have the Words is a versatile setting for Mass, the Liturgy of the Hours, and other worship contexts centering on the law and wisdom of the Lord.
