Uses: Christ the Good Shepherd, General, Lent
Scripture: Psalm 23; John 10:3
A re-thinking of the time-honored hymn, this contemporary folk anthem is instantly appealing. Driven forward by a subdivided keyboard accompaniment, the musical "vibe" is one of unrelenting energy. This positive pulse releases into a chorus that sweeps us up into a repetitive affirmation of our security in the grace of Jesus. The arranger craftily winds the piece down to a more devotional ending, bringing a hushed assurance and the spirit of commitment to this unique offering.
