* His Masterpiece * NEW!
His Masterpiece was commissioned by Dr. Robert Oster, Director of the Lakewood Area Choral Society to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the choral societys inception.We jointly decided that the theme be centered around the word music as it relates and touches all of us so deeply and profoundly. The lyrics for His Masterpiece evolved literally from this desire to write something unique, memorable, and touching on my own personal connection to the significance of music and where the true flow of inspiration genuinely begins. The lyrics to the song are printed separately in the score, and it is suggested that as part of your performance, copies be printed and distributed to the audience. The lyrics to the song truly say it all and as the closing lyrics state: I am one small voice you see, but through His grace and majesty, Hes lovingly inspired me and now He has bestowed through me His Music, His Masterpiece, His Music." Available in SATB voicing with piano accompaniment.

How I Love Jesus
