A moving anthem of radical love and welcome. Shirley Erena Murray’s hymn text proclaims that God’s love knows no bounds: every person, every story, every identity is sacred and embraced. In a world that often divides, may this music remind us that belonging, justice, and love are not privileges; they are promises that belong to everyone. The piece is difficult, and there is a unison adaptation available as well. Encourage the ensemble to think of the work as a pop tune – the rhythms and inflection make more sense when it feels natural and organic.
