About the Artist: Ben Glover
Ben Glover is a prolific songwriter and recording artist whose work spans contemporary Christian music and worship settings. His compositions are known for their accessibility combined with genuine emotional depth, making them natural fits for congregational and ensemble contexts.
Why we love this
Richard Kingsmore's arrangement captures the arc of Tomlin's original without overcomplicating it. The structural journey from intimate to full and back again gives youth choirs a genuinely moving piece that doesn't demand virtuosity to perform convincingly, yet rewards careful attention to dynamics and phrasing.
What to expect
A quiet conversation that gradually swells into something urgent and alive, then settles back into stillness. The piece feels intimate and personal rather than grand, with the kind of sincerity that resonates because it doesn't demand spectacle.
Who it's for
Youth choirs, praise teams, and worship ensembles looking for contemporary Christian repertoire that speaks to a digital generation while rooted in solid scriptural foundation. Works equally well in Sunday services, youth group settings, and concert programming.
How to get the most out of it
- Shape the opening with real restraint. Singers often push too hard too soon; let the gentle section breathe and build tension precisely because it stays small.
- Balance the instrumentation during the middle section so the choir doesn't get buried. The driving energy comes from rhythmic clarity, not volume alone.
- Return to the meditative close with the same vulnerability as your opening. This isn't collapse; it's a conscious choice to end reflectively.
How to use it
Pair this with other contemporary worship arrangements to create a thematic set exploring grace and relationship with God. It also works beautifully as a moment of stillness after more energetic selections, or as a closing meditation in a concert program.
