This was recorded with several of my favorite people in the world. My mom is featured on the first verse, and the saxophone was played by my friend Wolf Fengler. The second verse, my favorite part of the entire album, was recorded at my church with my parents, my sister Sammy, Jenna Hanevik, the Lee family, the Sathre family, the Grosses, the Abriams, the Darlingtons, the Millers, Michelle Worman, the illustrious Dr. Lisle, the Evans family (with Scotty!), Randy Graham representing for the family, Jason Wood doing the same, a few Aicheles, and Carol and Cosette. Eric F. Jett orchestrated and recorded all of it. Thank you all! You made my album sound so much better than I thought it could!
lyrics
Verse 3:
For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child
Friends on earth and friends above, pleasures pure and undefiled
Christ our God, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise
Verse 4:
For Thy church that evermore liftest holy hands above
Offering up on ev'ry shore Her pure sacrifice of love
Christ our God, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise
Verse 5:
For Thyself, best gift divine, to our race so freely given
For that great, great love of Thine, peace on earth and joy in heaven
Christ our God, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise
