A colorful setting for high voice and piano of the lovely 2006 hymn by Russell St. John and the late Lou Ann Shafer. The text poetically explores Phillippians 2 (a well-known theological passage describing the kenosis of Christ). The arranger sets the first two verses similarly to the original hymn and then alters the remaining verses to interpretively reflect the text, which relates the humility of the first Advent of Jesus, His sacrificial death, His glorious resurrection and the adoration and praise He will one day properly receive from all. This message of the gospel makes the song fitting for any service in the church year, but particularly for those during Advent, Lent and Easter among others. The piece was commissioned by Lou Ann's daughter, Sarah, a wonderful Curtis Institute-trained soprano who has had an amazing career for such a young artist - see: https://sarahshafersoprano.com/ (Kindly purchase at least two (2) copies, one for soloist and another for accompanist rather than illegally copying the score. Thank you.)
