Through this piece I find one of the best expressions of how I feel about the Atonement of Christ. As I grow older and, hopefully, more humble I realize how much I need the power of the Atonement every hour, every moment of mortality.
How grateful I am for Christ’s atoning sacrifice and the opportunity it affords me to not only be forgiven, but to confidently forgive; how it fills me at once with both humility and compassion. The harmony is meant to represent our ‘wandering’ through mortality with a bright and profound conclusion that we truly do need the Savior “every hour.”
Steve and Jayme,
I have been called as a High Councillor for the BYU 5th Stake and my assignments are music and missionary work. I am excited to use some of your music. I hope you are all well and happy. I hope everything is going great and that you love your little farm. We miss you very much. We hope you will stop and visit when you are this way. Do you sometimes have a separate sheet for the accompaniest? I noticed that you have two versions of “Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee”. I think one has 6 measures at the beginning where the choir waits before coming in and so that indicates that something is happening.
Thanks and give the kids a hug for me,
Bob Beecher
Bob, We miss you, too! We still consider Lehi to be our home and are trying to adjust to our little farm. To answer your question, the first file is the whole score, including the piano accompaniment (Jesus the Very Thought of Thee.pdf) and the second file (Jesus the Very Thought of Thee CHORAL.pdf) is choral parts only for ease of rehearsing the choir. If you need other arrangements, let me know.
