JESU JOY OF MAN'S DESIRING

Story Behind The Song

I have played this Bach piece for years in concert and decided to do it on this project. It was a real stretch for me especially trying to integrate MIDI drum programming into it. Adding the sax gave it a nice feel.

Song Description

This is one of Bach's most famous pieces and I have always loved it.

Tempo Non 4/4 Lead Vocal Male Vocal
Language English Era 1990 - 1999

Lyrics

JESU JOY OF MAN'S DESIRING

Jesu joy of man's desiring
Holy wisdom love most bright

Drawn by Thee our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light

Word of God our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of life impassioned

Striving still to truth unknown
Soaring dyeing round Thy thrown
