Appropriate during Lent or any time of year, this anthem combines a thoughtful, original text with a beautiful, gentle melody. Written as a prayer, the anthem creates a mood of reflection and introspection focusing on humility and reliance on God. Recurring text and melodic phrases make the piece easy to teach and easy to learn. An excellent anthem to use with children as they grow in their understanding of the Lenten season. Also available in an SATB version (CGA990). If desired, the two versions can be used together for a combined choir piece.
