A musical composition of Psalm 16 (Afrikaans 1983)

Psalm 16

Recorded on a winter's evening in my garage in Wellington with good friend Helmut Meijer. It was a basic set-up: 2 mic's, a guitar and a keyboard with a candle and a glass of wine.  Just pressed record and left it running to see what we can capture. 

A song that was originally in die Liedboek. Nellis van Zyl-Smit and I wrote a new chorus and I altered the melody line to see what this favourite old afrikaans hymn would sound like if it was a touch more contemporary (at the time of course) We used to love singing this as students in Merchant Seal and later Louis Brittz heard it in the SA Congregation in London and recorded on his NUWE LOF album.
