Set in E minor with a lilting 6/8 time signature, this catechetical song examines Jesus' redemptive role from Mary Magdalene's point of view. It is scored for two-part chorus— easily managed by a youth choir— accompanied by keyboard, guitar, violin, and oboe. Though intended for Lenten use, especially on Good Friday, its lyric themes are nevertheless focused on hope, mercy, and Christ's message of salvation.
