THE PRAYER (Gentle Jesus)
Piano Accompaniment in D Major
The song The Prayer (Gentle Jesus) is a song by Tim J Spencer, written for his concept musical Vincent.
Listen to the original recording by Cate Mellor and Paul Barker here : youtu.be/h8TMEukdNpE
Sheet music is available from : origin03-www.musicnotes.com/l/MSDKp
In the show it is sung by Johanna (Theo van Gogh's wife) to their baby, named after his uncle Vincent, whilst Theo sings to his brother Vincent, the troubled artist.
Lyrics :
(Johanna)
Gentle Jesus meek and mild
Pray, look upon a little child
Pity my simplicity
Suffer he to come to thee,
Keep him safe when life is unkind
Give him the strength so he can find his innocence
Preserve his dreams to make his hopes reality.
(Theo)
Though in life his heart may yearn
For deeper comforts he may learn
All that life can grant to him
All rewards that he can see
(Both)
Gentle Jesus, meek and mild
Pray, look upon this little child
Remember with eternal love
Look after him dear God above.

British pianist and arranger Tim J. Spencer has created, in The Accompanist, a collection of Piano Accompaniments of Musical Theatre and Popular Music songs.
These Broadway and West End accompaniments have been specifically performed to match the tempos of the original (cast) recordings where possible. These karaoke style tracks have been created to give the audition performer the sound of what is likely within an audition environment where often we are not faced with a full orchestra but simply a pianist. Therefore the songs can sound very different to the fully orchestrated version.
The tracks are designed to be used either in performance or as practice for auditions. You are more than welcome to use the track to create your own YouTube cover of the song. If you could put a link back to this video in your description that would be amazing of you. I'm creating a playlist on my channel page of covers using The Accompanist's tracks so let me know if you do a cover using it and I'll add it to this channel's covers playlist.
