underscoring before building to a broad and
powerful closing.

above the choir. Long a favorite of SATB choirs,

this one.

and grace. A new take on a classic song!

4D Down to the River to Pray—Ken Medema/arr.
L
Mary McDonald. This dynamic medley captures
the spirit and message of two popular songs that
deal with the significance of prayer for the individual
believer and the church as a whole. The spiritual,
Down to the River to Pray, is seamlessly combined
with Ken Medema's Lord, Listen to Your Children
Praying. Together, they poignantly ask for the
Father's love, the Spirit's power, and the grace
of Jesus to direct the lives of all believers. Choirs
will enjoy the flavor of this song with its unhurried
rhythmic style and supportive accompaniment. New
for this year are three new voicings, two-part mixed,
SSA and TTBB.
