Description
Cindy Berry's signature style of worshipful choral music is evident in this statement of devotion and praise. "In all I say, in all I do, Lord, may my life bring praise and glory to You, majestic holy One." Beginning in a quiet reflective style, the verses grow to the majestic chorus, "My God and King, to You I sing. To You I lift my voice to magnify Your name." Choir and congregation alike will be uplifted by the message and music, worth repeating any season of the year.

More about this title
About the Composer: Cindy Berry
Cindy Berry grew up in Houston, Texas and earned her degree from Houston Baptist University. Throughout her career, she has composed and arranged a substantial catalog of sacred choral works, children's musicals, and piano pieces. She regularly travels the country as a clinician, conducting composer workshops and leading music education initiatives.
Recognized annually by ASCAP for her contributions to sacred music, Berry currently serves First Baptist Church in Killeen, Texas alongside her husband Bruce, who works as a Minister of Music. In her roles as church pianist and children's choir director, she approaches every composition as an act of worship, bringing intentional spirituality to her musical craft.
Why we love this
Berry structures this piece with narrative clarity: the reflective opening allows listeners to settle into a meditative space before the chorus blooms into full declaration. What sets this apart is the dual appeal to choir and congregation. Your singers will engage with substantive material that builds toward a memorable anthem moment, while your worshipping community receives a piece they can sing alongside or simply receive as an offering.
What to expect
The piece unfolds like a personal prayer becoming a corporate declaration. You begin in quiet reflection, then gradually build toward confident, joyful affirmation of faith. The text and music reinforce each other to create moments of genuine uplift without veering into sentimentality.
Who it's for
Directors seeking sacred repertoire that functions both as a concert anthem and a congregational experience will find this especially useful. Intermediate to advanced choirs with access to orchestral accompaniment can perform this effectively, and the devotional character makes it relevant across worship styles and seasons.
How to get the most out of it
- Shape the verses with restraint and intimacy. The quiet reflective opening only gains power when the contrast with the chorus remains genuine and unrushed.
- Let the text guide your tempo choices in the chorus sections. 'My God and King, to You I sing' rewards clarity of diction over speed.
- Balance choir and congregation strategically. Consider which sections belong entirely to your singers and which invite fuller participation from the assembly.
- The orchestral accompaniment supports without overwhelming. Allow instrumental and vocal lines to breathe together rather than competing for attention.
How to use it
Consider placing this as a centerpiece in a worship service, concert, or special program focused on devotion and praise. Its versatility allows it to work equally well as a seasonal offering during Advent, Lent, or Pentecost, or as a standalone statement of faith any time your congregation gathers. The combination of choir and congregational appeal makes it valuable for intergenerational music programs.
