I wanted to see this in SATB as well, so I wrote parts for the refrain. The verses were given to a duo: first verse to a man, second verse to a woman, third verse they sang together. Such a beautiful piece!

Thank you. Your new Christmas song AND the accompanying reasons that inspired you triggered an idea for my Ward’s Sacrament Christmas program. It all fell into place, including ideas for all additional music, in about 15 minutes. At my age, I didn’t think it was possible to still be creative….LOL.. It must have been my morning prayer asking for inspiration. Now, I just wait to see if the Bishopric likes it….

This beautiful song speaks to everyone! I am a pastoral musician at St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Lawrenceville, GA and we have been using many of your Christmas music for years; mostly choral pieces, which I’ve enjoyed playing for our choir. But because of the pandemic, we lost many choir members so now we just have only enough for two-part harmony. Don’t know if you have any for that limited a choir. But, I have sung some of your Christmas vocal songs; I’ll be singing this one for our prelude at Midnight Mass. Thank you for your talents which you so freely give!

This is a beautiful song! Such a wonderful message and spirit. I sang it for Christmas last year and our ward choir director loved it so much he wants to do it with the choir. Would you consider arranging an SATB version? Thank you for sharing your talents with us. We are so blessed by you.
