No
Stone Could Hold Him is a
spirited witness to the
ministry, passion, death,
and resurrection of
Jesus, the Rock of our
Salvation. Written by
celebrated composer Lloyd
Larson, this powerful
work is filled with
scripture-based images of
Jesus as A Rock in a
Weary Land, even when
tempted by Satan to turn
these stones to food; as
the Solid Rock on which
we stand through Winds of
Change and Shifting Sand;
as Jerusalem's triumphant
King who commands the
rocks to keep silent; as
the Cornerstone of our
faith, betrayed and
crucified; and as the
risen Savior whom no
stone could hold in the
tomb. Inspired by these
images, the music is bold
and enlivening with
rousing original music
alongside energetic
spirituals and gospel
songs. This dramatic work
is an exceptional choice
for Easter worship with
its seven choruses and
options for duets and
solos. It can also be
performed during the
Lenten season or Holy
Week by omitting the
final chorus.
