This intimate and lyrical song of comfort draws on Jesus's teaching about the kingdom of God. The refrain, based on Matthew 25 and Revelation 2:10, is tied to similar themes in the verses, inspired by Psalms 131, 40, and 16. Taken together, this insightful linkage of New and Old Testament explores topics of faith, trust, confidence, and giving thanks. The arrangement for two-part choir, piano, guitar, and cello is uncomplicated yet effective and will come together easily when rehearsal time is short. Well-suited for funeral services, this song is also appropriate for the care of the sick, devotions of the Rosary, or at Masses whose Scriptural themes during the Liturgy of the Word deal with human mortality.
