This majestic affirmation of faith is inspired by 2 Corinthians 5:7: "We walk by faith and not by sight." Opening quietly and resolutely, it gradually builds through escalating dynamics and key changes to a glorious proclamation of empowerment through our risen Lord. Next, the traditional hymn "My Faith Looks Up to Thee" enters as a choral prayer that rises to a succession of triumphant amens. (From the cantata "Touched by the Christ": SATB 55/1120L; SAB 55/1121L.)
