Uses: General, Thanksgiving, Easter. Scripture: Colossians 3:16-17; Psalm 100:4; I Thessalonians 5:18.
Springing from the pages of Scripture, this anthem evokes a spirit of thanksgiving in its musical and textural approach. Beginning with a free-formed passage that acts as a vocal introduction, the anthem eventually surrenders to a lilting 6/8 theme that has a memorable contour and gait. The rhythmic energy of this celtic-styled, praise song creates a vibrant call to praise for any worship service. Duration: ca. 3:03.
