Beautiful the Wounds
of Christ
Marty Parks.
Reflect on the cross and the significance of Christ's
wounds with this original ballad. Elongated choral
phrases contrast with a more rhythmic section,
and the accompaniment supports the voices while
remaining pianistic. This anthem will enhance any
service during Holy Week but will be especially
poignant on Good Friday. The lovely optional cello
part adds to the depth of the work.

Behold Your Promised Lord
arr. Benjamin M. Culli.
This anthem for SATB voices, organ, and optional
violin or oboe (or other C instrument) uses a new
text by Lisa M. Clark that is well suited for Holy
Thursday and for any time the Lord's Supper is
celebrated. The minor key tune and setting are
simple and straightforward, making this lovely piece
easy to learn.

Behold, It Is Finished
Lee Dengler.
For Good Friday, this dramatic offering begins with
a mysterious aura. A chorale-like section gives
way to a beloved Lenten text presented with
appropriate reverence. The plaintive, mournful text
and tune are stunningly beautiful. The optional
chamber orchestration is easily performed, yet rich
and compelling.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Brenda Portman.
The familiar words, so suitable for Lent and Holy
Week, are set to original music by Brenda Portman
in this powerful anthem. The melody's folk-like

Bring Me to the Cross
Brad Nix.
With delicate lines and precious harmonies, this
sacred gem draws us to Calvary for a poignant
portrait of grace. Very well crafted, it employs
terrific vocal writing that pairs expressive music
with tender lyrics. An a cappella phrase provides a
very effective closing.

Confession
Forgive Us, Lord
Wendy Ferguson & Sue C. Smith/
arr. Heather Sorenson.
Liturgical sensibility meets contemporary styling
in this prayer for forgiveness. Set in a classic call-
and-response format, the congregation is invited to
respond, "Forgive us, Lord" in a musical version of
the cantor/respondent prayers of liturgical traditions.
The music also follows a conversational style,
bringing an interactive and authentic spirit. More
than a performance piece, this significant moment of
worship art is as beautiful as it is useful.

Forsaken in the Garden
John Purifoy.
"Father, Father, take this cup away." These words
lead the listener into the shadows of Gethsemane
and the anguish of the suffering Christ. Sung from
the viewpoint of Jesus talking first to his Father,
then to his brothers (apostles), then to Judas, the
drama and emotional depth of this anthem makes
this a must-do for Maundy Thursday or anytime
during Holy Week. Optional flute, oboe, and cello
parts are available separately.

The Garden of Sorrow
Vicki Hancock Wright.
In this beautifully written piece for Maundy
Thursday, the powerful text combines with
dramatic and colorful choral writing to convey the
anguish, weight and resolve Jesus experienced in
Gethsemane. Amid abandonment and loneliness,
Jesus found the strength through prayer to be
faithful and say, "Father, Thy will be done." An
optional cello part (included) effectively contributes
to the mood of this evocative work.

Grace at the Cross
Tracey Craig McKibben & Michelle Christensen.
A celebration of the saving work of Christ, this

not yet received the gift of salvation. It serves as a
reminder to God's people that the cross is a place
"where pardon is granted and mercy flows free."
Extremely well-crafted and musically engaging.
A superb ministry tool.
