The theme for A Sanctified Art’s 2024 Lenten series, “Wandering Heart,” caught my imagination. After hearing a recording of “The Love of God” by F.M. Lehman, a new text for that tune emerged that could work for the first Sunday of Lent in any year or other services focusing on wilderness experience or discipleship. 

If you’re not familiar with the tune, there are many versions with fairly different sounds on the web, including this one: https://open.spotify.com/track/1sGyDewtKOiBv8ZzrlpuEy… and this one: https://hymnary.org/text/the_love_of_god_is_greater_far.

You can find the text and music here. This piece can be reproduced for worship using One License.
