This is used as mostly a camp song but in some research online it may have been from the 1960s and used on Catholic retreats?

My Dad, Kevin Johansson, wrote this song!!! He wrote it back in the late 60's/early 70's when he was part of Young Christian Workers and it got incorporated into a small song book which we still have. He was searching for his song online the other day and told me about your post and asked me to answer it (he's no good at technology!)
Hi Leanne - it was fun to read your post. My reply only indicated that I knew the singer of this song (John Rodak) as I still have the album. Its cool to learn that your dad actually wrote this tune. I wonder if the two of them knew each other back in the day. Tell your dad thanks for clearing this up.
Interesting, I'll ask him about it. The song was actually banned here in South Africa when the YCW was banned under apartheid in the 70's/80's, but it was still sung in the Catholic church.
No that's not it, trust me this is a specific song and I didn't get the lyrics wrong.
