A New City of Joy

Words by Joseph M. Martin, music by Brad Nix

Unrestrained hope breaks through every measure of this jazzy original anthem for All Saints Day or anytime. Set in minor, a “cool” piano accompaniment drives this piece and gives the song a certain sacred swagger. The message of eternal life brings a smile to the heart and the chorus reinforces it: “I'm building mansions made of golden praise, founded on amazing grace!”
