BAPTISM ANTHEMS
H Be Not Afraid—Craig Courtney. Commissioned by a church in Sioux City,
Iowa, which was forced to relocate due to flooding, this lyrical anthem speaks
of God's presence with us in times of hardship and of His infinite mercy. A
wonderful musical expression of comfort and courage for confirmation, child
baptism or dedication, or any time you wish to convey the love of God through
Isaiah's words of redemption: "You are precious in My sight." The opening
statement can be sung by sopranos or solo voice, but is especially appropriate
for children's voices.

Wade in the Living Water—Rebecca Fair & Michael Barrett.
This unique anthem begins slowly with a quote from Wade in the Water,
optionally sung as a solo, which lays the framework for a jazzy appeal to
renewal and commitment. An original melody with a swing feel is contrasted
with a legato section before pairing with a return of the traditional spiritual.
"Follow your dream to the living stream. Wade on in, live again."
