With Open Hands

Based on Psalm 51 and written with the Rite of Reconciliation in mind, this simple yet lovely assembly song proclaims the loving kindness of God. The unrushed tempo, tuneful melody, and fluid harmony give ample prominence to the reverent text. Scored for SAB choir, with keyboard and guitar accompaniments, this piece can also be used during Advent, Lent, appropriate Sundays of Ordinary Time, and for the Anointing of the Sick.
