Where Can I Go From You?
Music and Text by Zach Redler
Based on Psalm 139
Duration ca. 2 1/2 minutes
Notes
Much of my spiritual and emotional work is to remember to turn back towards G-d, the all-loving, absolutely pervading sense of forgiveness in this world; to know that accessing that love, safety, comfort, and forgiveness is always available to me no matter where I am or what situation I may find myself.
One Sunday in January our new community church found itself needing some music for service. I felt immediately inspired to write this piece. Like most of my music, it was written for my partner, Brittney Redler, to sing. It was finished within an hour.
Where Can I Go From You was premiered at Harrisville Community Church on January 14th, 2024.
Text
Where can I go from You?
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Where can I run away from where You are?
If I should climb the highest mountains,
there You are.
If I should sleep in the lowest valley,
there You are.
There You are
accross the sky
below the sea
even there
even there Your hand will guide me
Where can I go from You?
Where can I go from You?
Look through me
Know my heart
Then darkness will turn light as day
