Very moving and personal...will definitely make an impact in our Easter musical this year!
What a powerful song! This song will be the anchor song for my Easter program. It brought tears to my eyes! Thank you.
Have just listened to "Jesus Carried the Cross" and was so moved by it that I cried. It is absolutely beautiful, and I could just hear my choir of 18, singing this at Easter. What a message it brings to us. As a general rule, I like to select 8 or 9 songs for my cantata at Christmas and Easter, and have been very successful in the past, using the Worship Today music . I use some of the suggested scriptures and have found the congregation to be very receptive to the selections. We have just finished the Christmas Cantata and songs such as "The Messiah", "The King", "Redeemer, Come" were so successful. The choir of our small beach church enjoyed learning them, using the CDs. On cantata day, we had a standing ovation. This has been a great source of music for us, and we are really enjoying using the new site.
This beautiful song and arrangement - Biblically strong and masterfully expressed - is heightened in its presentation by the excellent sound track with its haunting introduction on the strings. Thank you for such music!
