About the Artist: Beth Redman
Beth Redman is a worship leader and recording artist known for her collaborative work with her husband Matt Redman in contemporary Christian music. Her approach to songwriting and arrangement centers on authenticity and theological depth, bringing fresh interpretations to both original compositions and classic hymnic material.
Why we love this
Harold Ross's arrangement respects the hymn's foundational strength while the Redmans' involvement signals a bridge between traditional and contemporary worship sensibilities. This isn't a complete reimagining that erases the original; instead, it invites singers into the testimony of security and peace that has sustained congregations for generations while offering musical refreshment for modern ears.
What to expect
A grounded affirmation that settles into the listener like a deep breath. The piece carries the quiet certitude of the original hymn while the new sections add warmth and accessibility, creating a musical space where doubt can transform into trust.
Who it's for
Worship teams, church choirs, and praise ensembles seeking substantive material that honors hymnody while reaching contemporary listeners. Directors programming Lenten seasons or general worship services will find this arrangement bridges generational musical preferences without sacrificing theological weight.
How to get the most out of it
- Shape the dynamic arc across the original section to let the new composition emerge as a distinct emotional moment rather than simply adding volume.
- Balance the reverent opening passages with careful ensemble blend; the power of this piece lies in unified conviction, not individual voices pushing through.
- Allow space for the accompaniment to breathe during reflective moments so the scriptural foundation (Psalm 62:5 and Lamentations 3:22-23) lands with clarity.
How to use it
Position this as a cornerstone piece in a worship service focused on faith during hardship or uncertainty. It works equally well as a standalone anthem or as part of a thematic set exploring resilience and grace; its scriptural moorings make it suitable for Lenten observances or general praise programming throughout the year.
