Uses: Church Heritage, Commitment, Reformation Scripture: Psalm 18:2-3; Revelation 19:7-9 This is an epic anthem whose content challenges the church to find her unity and calling. The chorus brings the theme into focus, We are the Church, we are the Bride, we are the lost who've been fully justified. There is a strong crescendo of purpose as this piece develops, and the final chorus sings like a sacred concerto with piano and choir proclaiming confidence in Christ. Some vocal divisi allows larger groups to fully engage, while the thoughtful part-writing and ranges encourage smaller ensembles.
