Near the Cross with the Power of the Cross

This Lenten anthem comes from Joel Raney's new contemporary tenebrae service, We Remember Calvary. Blending the classic hymn by Fanny Crosby & William Doane with Keith Getty & Stuart Townend's contemporary song creates a rewarding contrast uniting the prayerful words "Jesus, keep me near the cross. . .we stand forgiven at the cross." The optional instrumentation offers splendid texture and color in this affecting medley. The Instrumental packet contains a Conductor's Score and parts for Flute, Clarinet, 2 Violins, Cello, Synth String Reduction and Electric Bass
