This is a buoyant and energetic hymn recently written by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Matt Papa, rehearsing our standing in Christ and the beautiful doctrine of salvation. This is a must-sing on all fronts! In this arrangement, the piano will open with a festive introduction, and the instruments build texture together slowly into the refrain to strengthen the 6/8 spirited style. Three stanzas are offered (with the refrain each time), and as the stanza builds to an even greater climax, the final refrain widens description of the believer’s declaration in Christ, “Now I stand in His freedom, ransomed, clean in His sight…” This powerful hymn is perfect for a service opener, or can be used anytime for to give a believer an opportunity to proclaim the power of the gospel.
Real Responses from Congregations
The beautiful accompaniment and the unison congregation could be used both congregationally and chorally (as we did)… For small to medium-sized choirs on low attendance Sundays these could be effective choral pieces or as a way to develop choir and orchestra when (as is our case) some choir members are also instrumentalists. We used three pieces as part of our Easter celebration. All were very well received. We were able to include our developing orchestra with all of it. So, thank you!
Molly plays for the church my mother-in-law attends. The congregation becomes like a big choir with her arrangements. I’ve enjoyed the music when we’ve visited!
It is with the greatest enthusiasm that I recommend the hymnody work of Molly. Whether you are looking for accessible yet creative arrangements to new hymns or seeking to add energy and a fresh approach to hymns you have sung for years, herein lies your answer! Our people love to sing and the material found on this website has brought life to our singing that was not there before.
Molly’s congregational accompaniments add a freshness to treasured hymns of the past that enables a cross-generational congregation to join together in passionate worship of a great God.
