You Are Near, O God

This plaintive assembly piece situates singers in an "I-Thou" relationship with God using the proclamation "You are mine!" Alternating between metered refrain and chanted verse, this song calls for a confident cantor who can lead the assembly to join in, tenderly expressing unity in God's presence. Scored for two-part choir and keyboard, this octavo also comes with a guitar part including fret diagrams for all of Roc's colorful chord voicings.
