Father Jim Marchionda creatively presents the word of God as proclaimed throughout the Church's liturgical seasons. This is a gratifying composition for two-part children's choir, cantor, and assembly.

The refrain is crafted as a canon and produces instant harmony with ease of teaching and performance. By contrast, the verses are set in the relative minor, designed with younger soloists in mind. For that extra touch, add small percussion instruments and rhythm guitar.

UPC: 785147783404. English. Text Source: Based on Romans 8:35-39. Text by Shirley Erena Murray. Scripture: Romans 8:35–39.
Here’s one of those pieces that is immediately appealing, easy to learn, but crafted to withstand time. Which is a good thing, as True’s melodic setting of Murray’s take on Romans 8 has many opportunities for use! It is preferred that a cantor sing the verses, unless the choir has excellent diction. Use a soloist on the verses, if desired. .
