Ruth Elaine Schram presents refreshing new music to a familiar Gospel text. Carefully focusing on each thought, she expertly crafts a change of modes from minor to major and that key shift sheds unexpected light and meaning to words we thought we knew so well. The music is not difficult but the positive, moving effect in worship is undeniable. This anthem helps us see that, when everything around us seems to be falling apart, God renews our hope by means of the grace we receive through Christ Jesus.
