GUEST,Charles Kratz Lyr ADD: God's Counting on You (Lorre Wyatt) (34) RE: Pete Seeger - God's Counting on You (Lorre Wyatt) 13 Aug 10


When I taught this song yesterday to the folks at the Brain Injury center where I volunteer, I pointed out that the chorus is a continuation of the refrain of the verse: God's countin' on me, God's countin' on you, hopin' we'll all come through...

For me, God is the earth, of whose substance we all are made, and I sang the chorus part of the time as "She's hopin' we'll all come through..." I'm sorry if that offends you, Pat.

I think it's a wonderful, very singable song, one which can rally a crowd--maybe a "We Shall Overcome" for our time and our situation. It's obvious we need that kind of inspiration--folks just don't seem to get how desperate our situation is.

Charles
