The Runner's Song

Uses: Pentecost, General, Memorial Scripture: II Timothy 4:7-8; Philippians 1:6; Isaiah 40:31 This commissioned anthem was written in memory of a runner who made an impact on the community of faith in which he participated. The composer wrote words that were specific to this work but also represented a larger truth to all believers. Finding Scriptures that enabled this perspective, he crafted an anthem that tonally paints the effect of running the good race and even soaring with victory.
