A celebration of the gifts God pours down upon us, this collection invites everyone to discover a more vibrant life of faith and prayer.
Gathering 12 of Dan's compositions, God's Holy Gifts supports both communal worship and personal prayer. Covering a variety of themes and seasons, the songs include upbeat, contemporary songs and more contemplative works as well as grand, traditional hymns with pipe organ. Accompaniment varies from piano and strings to woodwinds and full choir. .
"Holy Breath of God" is a contemporary setting of the Pentecost sequence. A lovely song for evening prayer, "Come Stay with Us" retells the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Written for an interdenominational prayer service with the Dalai Lama in San Francisco, "Litany of Peace" is a call-and-response style song, easily sung by any assembly and perfect for celebrations where the theme of peace is prevalent.
With God's Holy Gifts, once again Dan Schutte passes on his wonderful gift: music that draws us into relationship with God. Whether in personal prayer or communal worship, may these songs take us to that place where God dwells in beauty and grace.
