Uses: General Pentecost Evangelism Reformation Music AppreciationScripture: Isaiah 43:10-11; Romans 12:1-2; Psalm 150:6; Revelation 4:8An evocative piano pattern in minor establishes a dramaticunderpinning for this choral about the music of our faith. With the challenge to “live our song” through service music becomes a metaphor for a strong sermon in song for the church as a whole. A celebrated hymn tunecarries the message and the final crescendo is an effective punctuation mark to our divine purpose as people of praise. Duration: ca. 4:00.

Uses: Pentecost Trinity Sunday General Church Anniversary Scripture: John 14:26-27 John 15:26 This heart-felt testament of God's restorative grace was a dedicatory anthem for a special community of faith. Following a tragic EF5 tornado that destroyed the church and devastated the city of Joplin Missouri the people rebuilt their church. The words of the song are a dramatic reminder that grace is like and ark sailing through a sea of tears. The opening utilizes the plainsong tune DIVINUM MYSTERIUM often associated with Advent but here retooled for Pentecost. Then the piece evolves into a more contemporary praise song that is a true call to worship for a grateful church.Perfect for the season of Pentecost!
