About the Composer: Paul Baloche
Paul Baloche is a worship leader and songwriter whose music has shaped contemporary Christian worship since the 1980s. His compositions emphasize singable melodies and accessible harmonies that work across skill levels, making them fixtures in both congregational and concert settings.
Why we love this
Baloche writes with an instinctive grasp of what congregations actually want to sing. This arrangement respects that gift while giving your ensemble space to add warmth and texture that transforms the song from a Sunday staple into something with genuine concert presence.
What to expect
Warm and reflective without sentimentality. The song settles into listeners' ears with the ease of something already known, yet the instrumental colors and choral blend give it dimension that recordings alone don't capture.
Who it's for
This works for any ensemble that includes singers comfortable with contemporary worship idioms. Directors programming interfaith concerts, community events, or services will find this bridges congregational familiarity with musical credibility.
How to get the most out of it
- Resist the urge to overdrive the tempo. The song breathes better when singers have room to shape phrases naturally.
- Let the instrumental voices establish character before the choir enters; this sets listeners up to hear the text with fresh ears.
- Balance the dynamic arc across the full 3:55. A song this familiar benefits from subtle peaks rather than a flat, steady energy.
How to use it
Position this alongside other contemporary repertoire in a concert focused on music of faith and community. It works equally well as a closing piece that acknowledges shared values or as a bridge between classical and modern styles.
Skills your students will build
- Singing contemporary harmonic language with clear voice leading
- Blending choral sound with instrumental accompaniment
- Shaping longer phrases with organic breath points
- Interpreting text expression in non-traditional worship settings
