More about this title
Why we love this
Marty Hamby's orchestration lifts this contemporary hymn text into something that feels both intimate and grand, letting your choir sit comfortably in the praise without oversinging. The arrangement respects the lyrical quality of Reynolds' melody while giving you real instrumental colors to work with, making it accessible enough for average choirs but rewarding enough to keep your singers engaged through rehearsal.
What to expect
Warm and unhurried, with the kind of melodic sincerity that lets genuine emotion come through without sentimentality. The text repeats its affirmations like a prayer being returned to, and the orchestration mirrors that meditative quality while building moments of real breadth.
Who it's for
Worship services, concert programs, and community choirs looking for accessible contemporary repertoire that doesn't require a full band setup. The orchestral accompaniment works beautifully for spring or Easter programming, or any service centered on gratitude and affirmation.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the choir's entrance with the instrumental introduction so the voices emerge naturally rather than cutting off the mood the orchestra establishes.
- Pay attention to the phrase shapes in the text; resist the urge to land hard on every line ending. These affirmations of faith benefit from gentle forward motion.
- Let the ensemble feel the harmonic movement beneath them. This arrangement has interesting chord colors that will settle the intonation if singers track the instrumental parts.
How to use it
Pair this with other contemporary sacred works of similar length to build a thematic set around faith and praise. At under four minutes, it works as a powerful closer to a concert or service without requiring extended rehearsal investment compared to larger choral works.
