Lead Me Back

Simple and folk-like, this anthem draws the congregation into a spirit of confession and forgiveness. Telling the story of the prodigal son with an optional scripture reading, the composer sensitively frames the drama with impassioned music. Lead Me Back is from the Worship at Greystone series, a group of anthems designed to involve the congregation. This touching hymn of repentance is a sincere statement of faith for Lent or any time there is a need for contrition. Narration from Luke 15:11-14, 17-18, 20-23.
