A setting of words from Hebrews 12:2 (chorus) with verses encouraging faith and hope in the midst of a painful situation.
Sources of inspiration for this song were threefold: firstly the Scripture from Hebrews 12 was my baptism verse, on Easter Sunday 1979; secondly, from Corrie ten Boom´s ´The Hiding Place´, where her sister Betsy tells Corrie not to look at the wounds she´d received from the concentration camp guards, but to look instead at Jesus and fix her eyes on him; and thirdly, from C S Lewis´ ´The Magician´s Nephew´, where Digory wants so desperately for Aslan to cure his mother who is terminally ill, but the great Lion sets him a task instead which will protect all of Narnia for years to come; Digory is looking down at Aslan´s paws, his heart heavy, but as he looks up into the Lion´s face, what he sees there surprises him very deeply – for Aslan´s eyes are filled with tears. He realizes that Aslan cares even more deeply about Digory´s mother than he himself.
For soloist, 4–part choir and piano accompaniment. Guitar chords also included.
From the Roger Jones Song Collection (2010); originally from the collection ´Precious and honoured´ (1995). A backing track and/or instrumental parts are available on request from events@cmm.org.uk
