I Thirst (HL 35010281)

Ruthie Schram presents a highly creative approach in this fascinating Holy Week offering. Three scenes from the life of Christ are presented where Christ experienced physical thirst. From the manger to his last moments on the cross, this anthem reminds us that ironically Christ is the “Living Water” for our spiritual thirst. An optional communion text is provided for additional performance options. Profound! On Ash Wednesday we are called to return to the will of God. This John Parker text based on passages from Joel and Malachi is treated to a blended musical approach creating stark contrast from the judgement passages and the divine Homecoming that crowns the final chorus. A dramatic reminder.
