Isaiah 64:1-12
Words by Biblical text: Isaiah 64:1-12Music by Tirzah Joy
Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
Story Behind the Song
This appears to be a modern choral scripture setting of Isaiah 64:1-12 composed by Tirzah Joy. The text is drawn from the biblical passage beginning “Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens,” a penitential plea for God to come down, forgive sin, and restore his people. Beyond its attribution to Tirzah Joy and its association with Shenandoah Christian Music Camp, widely published hymnal documentation is not readily identifiable.
