More about this title
Why we love this
Wilkerson has crafted an anthem that genuinely works across denominational lines and generational preferences. Rather than leaning hard into one contemporary style, the piece finds its footing in accessible harmony and a text that resonates without feeling didactic.
What to expect
Warm and affirmative without saccharine excess. The piece carries genuine conviction about its message while remaining musically unpretentious. Listeners hear both earnestness and craftsmanship.
Who it's for
Congregations and concert choirs seeking contemporary sacred repertoire that bridges traditional and modern sensibilities. This works equally well in worship settings and formal concert programming, regardless of choir size or accompaniment resources.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the choir's text clarity against the instrumental backdrop; the orchestration should frame rather than compete with the sung message.
- Shape the arc toward the piece's emotional center rather than rushing to the end; four and a half minutes requires intentional pacing.
- Let the choir breathe naturally with the phrases, especially where the text emphasizes spiritual reflection.
How to use it
Place this as an anchor work in a sacred or contemporary choral concert, where it can stand confidently alongside both hymn arrangements and original works. The four-and-a-half-minute length makes it ideal for closing a service or concert section with a unifying statement.
Skills your students will build
- Singing contemporary harmonic language with confidence and intonation
- Balancing ensemble sound against instrumental accompaniment
- Sustaining lyrical phrasing across longer musical phrases
- Interpreting text with spiritual authenticity rather than sentimentality
