Become aware of Him Words by Harry Read Music and Arrangement by Robert Redhead
Scores notes from SAMI (samusicindex.c...)
Comments by Lieut.-Colonel Ray Steadman-Allen
This is a transcription of a song which, since its publication in The Musical Salvationist for July 1973, has become a firm favourite. We quote below the words of the first verse and the chorus:
Jesus knows your way, The road your feet now tread; Jesus knows the way, The steps that lie ahead. Far past the distant view, With dangers ever new, He knows your way And walks that way with you.
Become aware of Him, For He is ever near; Speak out your prayer to Him, For He will ever hear. Stretch out your hand to Him, He's ever by your side; Leave all you've planned to Him, And let Him guide. (Harry Read)
The arrangement can form the basis of an instrumental accompaniment to the song, which has three verses. Note should be taken of the last four bars of the coda where the final melodic phrase repetition is allocated to horns, baritones and euphonium. In the vocal version this is sung by the women, the men singing 'of Him' as implied by the bass part: the final chord is an instrumental addition.
