Top 4 Contemporary Music Suggestions
The following songs have been carefully reviewed, and are recommended for use in congregational worship, primarily because they point people to Christ and proclaim the message of his word in music and song for this Sunday in the lectionary cycle. They also fit well with other selection guidelines as highlighted in Tips for song selection and Fact Sheet 6: Music in Worship. While the use of a particular song by a band or organisation is not necessarily an endorsement of that group or the entire body of their work, we recognise that any scriptural song is a Spiritual song that can be used to complement a rich diet of worship for God’s people.
Please note, the hyperlinked Youtube clips are provided to give you a sense of how music can be performed or for personal use. You must always obtain permission from the creators of the music videos and the creators of the song before using clips in worship, unless permission is explicitly stated beneath the video.

Psalms
a) PSALM 82
The following paraphrase of Psalm 82 by David Schütz may be sung to the tune Aberystwyth (LH 302, TIS 211(i)). If reproducing this version, please put ‘Words (c) David Schütz’ at the beginning or the end of the psalm.
In the council of the great,
God sits in the judgment seat,
calling nations to admit
to the sins that they commit.
‘How much longer will you keep
justice from the low and weak?
Aid the cause of wrong no more,
save the needy and the poor.’
No-one knows or understands
what our God in judgment plans;
other judges all seem blind,
but our God declares his mind:
‘Acting like the gods, most high,
you, as mortals, still will die!’
Rise, O God, give judgment true;
all the earth belongs to you.

b) PSALM 25
TIS 14, O Lord, make me know your ways, is a version of Psalm 25:1,4-5,8-10,14.
The following paraphrase of Psalm 25:1-10 by David Schütz may be sung to the tune ‘Die Sach ist dein’, LH 228. If reproducing this version, please put ‘Words (c) David Schütz’ at the beginning or the end of the psalm.
To you, O Lord, I lift my soul.
My God, in you I trust;
Do not let me be put to shame;
don’t let my foes rejoice.
Do not let those who wait for you
be disappointed in their hope.
Let them be disappointed who
have openly rejected you.
Show me your ways,
O Lord, teach me your paths.
Teach me and lead me in your truth,
my Saviour and my God;
I wait for you the whole day long,
do not forget me, Lord.
Be mindful of your mercy, Lord,
and of your steadfast love of old.
Forget and wipe away my sins
according to your steadfast love.
Remember me,
Lord, for your goodness’ sake.
The Lord, my God, is good and just,
therefore he shows the way
to sinners who return to him
and those with humble hearts.
He shows the humble what is right,
and teaches them to know his will.
The paths of God are steadfast love
and faithfulness for those who keep
his covenant
and listen to his word.
