Christ is the perfect gift of the Father to mankind. “God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son, that whoso believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
This orchestrated choral music was inspired by this thought which came to me unexpectedly: “Why has no music been written for the intercessory prayer of John chapter 17?” With a little research, I was amazed to confirm this fact.
Accordingly, I sat at the piano with the scripture, repeatedly reading words John 17:1, “Father the hour is come. Glorify Thy son, that Thy son may also glorify Thee.” Immediately the music came to mind. Not just a melody, but in full 8-part harmony.
What followed was a total of 18 pieces lasting over an hour in performance length. I felt this music was a heavenly gift that might bring a deeper emotional appreciation for the life of the Savior. Since the first piece was The Intercessory Prayer, (number 7 in this sequence) you may wish to play it first.
