As a Song Among the Trees

By Joseph M. Martin

The ministry of the Holy Spirit is the wind beneath the wings of this message in music. A sparkling cascade of notes from the piano sets the tone while the melody arches from the page with winsome beauty and colorful melodic twists. Crowned with a chorus of simple but moving “Alleluias,” the anthem is quickly learned but will be hard to forget. The piece ends in a whisper of worship to allow for an effective transition to sermon or a time of reflection and devotion.
