More about this title
About the Composer: Kathryn Scott
Kathryn Scott is a prolific contemporary Christian music composer and worship leader whose songs have shaped modern congregational singing across denominational lines. Her melodic sensibility and text-setting gift make her work accessible to singers at all levels while maintaining emotional depth and theological substance.
Why we love this
Scott's harmonic language feels fresh without being difficult, and the text carries real conviction without resorting to sentimentality. The arrangement by Cliff Duren supports the singers with instrumental color while keeping the focus squarely on the vocal line and message.
What to expect
A moment of collective conviction. The piece builds from vulnerability to strength, with instrumental support that reinforces rather than overshadows the human voices asking essential questions about belief and faithfulness. There's an intimacy here alongside the corporate affirmation.
Who it's for
This works for choirs seeking contemporary sacred material that doesn't require extensive technical demands but does ask for emotional authenticity. Suitable for worship settings, concert programs, and services where themes of faith and commitment resonate with your community.
How to get the most out of it
- Build the emotional arc gradually across the four and a half minutes; resist the urge to sing at full volume from the start, letting the faithfulness theme accumulate power through repetition.
- Balance the choir's surrender language with confidence in pitch and rhythm; the message of belief requires singers who commit fully to their part.
- Work the accompaniment into rehearsal early so singers can lock onto the harmonic framework and find their independence within it.
- Shape the cry of unity at the opening with precise vowel unification and steady breath support; this moment sets the tone for everything that follows.
How to use it
Pair this with other contemporary sacred selections for a service focused on themes of commitment and trust, or feature it as a standalone reflection piece in a concert context. Its four and a half minute span fits well as a centerpiece moment rather than an opener or closer.
