Uses: Lent, General, Healing Scripture: Isaiah 64:8; Jeremiah 18:1-6; Luke 4:18; Job 42:10 This dramatic vocal tableau is a heart-centric tone poem that reaches deep to convey a message of hope and grace. The text uses the imagery of a stained glass window shattered by life's journey, made beautiful again by the Master Artist's touch. The music is fragile and vulnerable, and acts as a soundtrack to this message of restoration. The beautiful colors of the optional orchestration tug at the spirit with tender lines of deep expression and decorate the flowing piano writing with sensitivity. Score and Parts (hn, perc 1-2, vc, synth) available as a digital download.

The text from Psalm 42, ?As the Deer pants for water,? is often set to music that is joyful. This setting is contemplative, leaning more on the ?longing? aspects of the text. ?Haunting? is the expressive mark that begins the piece and it remains in that space except for a lovely and assuring reprise. It returns to the contemplative place as the piece ends. The optional flute and violin add a wonderful color to the piece.
