CGA1819 With What Shall I Come Before the Lord?
Description
Micah 6:8 is a well-known scripture verse, often set for choirs: “What does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” This memorable anthem from composer Matthew J. Armstrong begins with the lesser-known verses preceding it, Micah 6:6-7, where Micah asks what he should bring before the Lord - a section of scripture written to call out corrupt leaders who were not focused on what was most important. Lush, heartfelt writing from the pen of Armstrong draws us into the message - inspiring us to work for justice through kindness and humbleness.
