I learned since I was a child that God is known through healing, suffering, an important event that seals the life of man, that is why God never abandons man, tests him to perfect his character and faith, but never abandons him; when man departs from God, he enters enemy territory, that is, he is at the mercy of the devil; but God, as a loving Father, awaits the return of his children. I love you very much God and Eternal Father.

Beautiful composition. The "Amen" is amazing!
Kudos to the choir, instrumentalists, and conductor too.

This is a work of genius. Incredible. This one deserves to become much more well known, famous, people everywhere need to hear this and sing it. I'm singing it with my choir this Christmas and I cannot get the tune out of my head! From heaven.

What a beautiful composition and arrangement! There's something unique about the Amen at the end - it's so mystical and rich, a magical ending that carries me away.

Wow! Thank you, Elaine, for this new recording of your wonderful composition! Our small choir at St. Francis Episcopal (Fair Oaks, CA) sang this last year, and it continued to echo in my mind and heart as I made my daily rounds as a chaplain throughout the year. This version is particularly moving (I like the slower pace). With apologies to Mr. Luther, however, in light of more recent biblical scholarship regarding the "Eschaton" (thanks to Prof. NT Wright and others), could I propose one slight change in the final line? i.e. "That we may rise to heav'n ON earth". This seems more in keeping with the biblical hope for a new or renewed creation, and may lead us all to more compassionate concern for "this fragile earth, our island home". God's Blessings and Peace+
