Soltys pairs Whitaker’s text with a refrain inspired by Psalm 51, creating a cohesive piece that unifies the assembly’s petitions and prayers. It focuses on themes of social concern and justice, making it especially fitting for Reconciliation services, Ash Wednesday, and the Seasons of Lent and Easter. The melody is tender and expressive, with minimal syncopation supporting the text. Scored for keyboard, guitar, solo instrument in C, assembly, SATB choir, and descant, it offers both musical depth and accessibility for choirs of all ages.
