A seasonally accented, memorable tune, but non-sectarian words, make this piece from the popular Greg Gilpin ideal for winter holiday programming. There is one brief divisi in the soprano part, but ranges are reasonable and the singable lines, mostly scales with narrow leaps and well prepared changes of harmony, should be easy to master.

Come close and listen to a story that will change your life. A great conflict is about to be decided. This conflict has been gaining momentum since the foundation of the world and nothing can stop this war. Battle lines are being drawn that will determine the fate of the world. On one side stands the Almighty and all of the hosts of Heaven, on the other the enemy and all of the legions of hell. And in the middle -- in the very epicenter of the vicious battle -- there hangs a lone figure on a wooden structure that is stained with blood. This forsaken and condemned man has the appearance of a beaten and broken beggar. But make no mistake, He is a King. His blood is royal beyond comprehension. He knows what is at stake. He knows what is required, He knows the pain and suffering a full and irrevocable victory will cost. This is the account of events that sound like legend, that stretch the imagination beyond reason. Yet all that you will hear is absolutely and eternally true. Come close and listen to a story that occurred long ago, in a far off land, once upon a cross.

Original anthem
Natalie Sleeth's original SATB choral setting is also known as In the Bulb There Is a Flower. The provocative text relates both to our present life and our hope of eternal life, as expressed in I Corinthians 15:35-58. This fresh setting emphasizes the resurrected life as it builds to the final victory stanza with driving rhythm and a change to common meter (4/4). This arrangement is also available in a medium-voice vocal solo in the key of F.

Please note that the Conductor's Score in the Orchestraion is hand written and marked. For this reason, the Orchestration is available at a reduced price of $30 dollars.
