About If God Is For Us:
If God Is For Us (2009) was originally composed for the Choir of the Church of St. Peter in Saratoga Springs, NY to perform as a meditative choral anthem at the Easter Vigil in 2009. It works well as a moderately challenging choral anthem at any point during the Church Year, but most especially during Lent or Holy Week. The text is a paraphrase of Romans 8:31-39, which expresses a persistent hope in God and an understanding that nothing can keep us from God's love.
