Description
There is something old and something new in this blended worship concept. Springing with hope from an old gospel hymn, the writers have created verses that connect to the listener in a direct conversational style, speaking plainly of the promises of God. The song looks forward to the future when there will be no more tears or anxious thoughts, when every wound will be healed and every question resolved. The arrangement is respectful of the message and paces itself perfectly to coincide with the sounding of "When We All Get to Heaven" in full familiar four-part writing. Don't miss this one!

More about this title
About the Artist: Matt Redman
Matt Redman has shaped modern worship music for over three decades, writing songs that balance theological depth with accessible melodies. His compositions have become staples in churches worldwide, characterized by clear lyrical storytelling and harmonic sophistication that rewards both congregational singing and careful arrangement work.
Why we love this
Heather Sorenson's arrangement honors the hymn's gravitational pull while the contemporary verses create genuine dramatic tension. The payoff when "When We All Get to Heaven" arrives in traditional four-part voicing hits differently because you've earned that moment through the journey that precedes it.
What to expect
The verses speak with intimate directness, almost confessional in tone. When the hymn emerges, there's a settling sense of recognition and peace, like stepping into light after navigating the shadows of doubt and hope together.
Who it's for
Directors seeking repertoire that honors tradition without feeling nostalgic, and choirs ready to sing text with conviction and nuance. This works for worship services, concert settings, and community ensembles valuing both accessibility and musical substance.
How to get the most out of it
- Shape the conversational verses with natural speech rhythms rather than metronomic precision; let the text drive the pacing and breathe where the message calls for it.
- Balance the choir and instruments so the hymn tune's entrance in full harmony feels like a revelation, not an overwhelming shift in texture.
- Explore the emotional arc from the promise-centered verses to the resolution of the familiar hymn; this isn't a throwback arrangement but a genuine conversation across musical time.
How to use it
Place this in a concert or service where it can anchor a set exploring themes of faith and future hope. It functions equally well as a standalone feature or paired with other contemporary worship arrangements that respect classical forms.
