Easter hymn/special music – Resurrection Anthem

Ever have one of those pieces that sticks with you (or maybe is like “meat-and-potatoes” [with apple pie on the side])? This is one of those pieces. It is amazing! Praise to God for men who compose such works.

It comes as both a choir piece as well as hymn-style work.

I’ve found it!!!!

It has finally been found!! Have you ever heard a marvelous song and then in vain, diligently searched to find it? Recently on a trip, I heard an instrumental recording of “My Sin Is Ever Before Me.” Wow!! Those words gripped me! If you have never heard the song, here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHZ_5JC1G4o.

In recent contemplation has been the thought of how lightly the concept of sin is held in our society. It seems so often, that we do not take sin as seriously as we should, seeing it as God truly sees it. This song however, provides a truly humble reflection of sin. The chorus is reminiscent of Psalm 51. It is truly an amazing, reflective song.
