Lyrics
Psalm in Sync (Ps 96 & 98) (on Eye on the Sparrow)
A fusion of Psalms 96 and 98, this song contributes the element of "breathtaking originality" to the CD. Lively, unique, playful, the first hearing generally engenders a gasp of surprise or even a laugh. The "sync" refers to the two Psalms in "sync" with each other as well as the conveyed illusion of syncopation.

Text: Ps. 96: 1-4, 6; Ps. 98: 5, 6, 8; Ps. 96: 2
O sing unto the Lord a new song, sing unto the Lord all the earth.
O sing unto the Lord and bless his name: show his salvation from day to day and day to day.
Declare his glory and his wonders among all people; for the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised. Honour and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Sing unto the Lord with a harp, with a harp and the voice of a psalm, with trumpets and the sound of cornet. Let the floods clap their hands, let the hills be joyful together.
Sing unto the Lord all the earth; sing unto the Lord and bless his name, show his salvation — from day to day and day to day, day to day, day after day!
