Taste and See

Taste and see, Oh taste and see,
taste and see the goodness of God.

Glory, glory to God most high,
glory, blessing and praise.
With one voice, Oh people,
rejoice in our God,
who hears the cry
of all in need.

Taste and see, Oh taste and see,
taste and see the goodness of God.

Who has fashioned the earth and sky,
who created the deep,
who exalts the lowly
and sets captives free,
who opens the door
to all those who seek.

Taste and see, Oh taste and see,
taste and see the goodness of God.

Oh, the love of God!
Become flesh of our flesh,
so that we might live in glory.

Taste and see, Oh taste and see,
taste and see the goodness of God.

The Cry of the Poor

The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.

I will bless the Lord at all times,
with praise ever in my mouth.
Let my soul glory in the Lord,
who will hear the cry of the poor.


The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.

Let the lowly hear and be glad:
the Lord listens to their pleas;
and to hearts broken God is near,
who will hear the cry of the poor.


The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.

Every spirit crushed God will save;
will be ransom for their lives;
will be safe shelter for their fears,
and will hear the cry of the poor.


The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.

We proclaim your greatness, O God,
your praise ever in our mouth;
every face brightened in your light,
for you hear the cry of the poor.

Psalm 34:2-3, 6-7, 18-19, 23
