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.

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

Do You Believe This?—James Biery. "I am the resurrection and the life."
After a short preamble, the soaring, original melody is sung antiphonally by
the women's and men's voices. The contrasting middle section features
homophonic voices, followed by a reprise of the opening antiphony, and a coda
reminiscent of the preamble. Easy and very effective, it can be used at various
times in the liturgical year.
