God With Us (Audio Tracks of Instrumentals + Performance Permission)

God With Us illustrates man’s relationship with God through the idea of “home.” Music responds to ten texts that trace the idea of “home” through man’s design to be at home with God, our loss of that home, and God’s restoration of that home through Christ.

This collection of audio files gives your institution the ability to musically underscore readings given by your own scripture readers. Purchasing this download grants your church permission to use these audio files at an in-person public service. At our church, we read with the ESV, but you may use the translation of your choosing.

God With Us was commissioned by Hope Chapel in Greensboro, NC for their 2019 Lessons and Carols service. The work was also generously supported by Arts Letters & Numbers in Averill Park, NY through an artist residency in June 2019.
