God With Us (Full Score)

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. You can listen in to the album on Spotify here.

God With Us is the story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration through ten scriptures underscored by music: 

1. Created to be at home with Him: Bb Clarinet, Violins, Viola, Cello, Piano (Genesis 2:5-9, 15-25)
2. Sin creates separation: Bass Clarinet, Violins, Viola, Cello (Genesis 3:1-7, 22-24)
3. Abraham’s Covenant: Cello (Genesis 17:1-8)
4. Lament for the loss of home: Bass Clarinet (Psalm 137)
5. Immanuel: Silence (Isaiah 7:14)
6. Mary: Bb Clarinet, Violins, Viola, Cello, Piano (Luke 1:26-38)
7. The birth of Jesus: Viola, Cello (Matthew 1:18-25)
8. Angels: Bb Clarinet, Violins, Viola, Cello (Luke 2:8-20)
9. Christ will make His home in your hearts: Piano (Ephesians 3:14-17)
10. God will dwell with us: Bass Clarinet, Violins, Viola, Cello (Revelation 21:1-4)
