Lord, Make Me an Instrument

Scored for piano, guitar, and two-part choir, this contemplative, stately setting of St. Francis' beloved prayer offers a fresh, contemporary option for soloists and choirs. Its flexible yet clear structure is easy to follow. The melody outlines an ascending triad and subsequent stepwise descent, sits in a comfortable range, and creates an inviting, memorable tune. It is comfortably paced to allow time to absorb the depth and meaning of the lyrics.
