You Are Near, O God

This plaintive assembly piece situates singers in an _x001C_ I-Thou_x001D_ relationship with God using the proclamation _x001C_ You are mine!_x001D_ Alternating between metered refrain and chanted verse, this song calls for a confident cantor who can lead the assembly to join in, tenderly expressing unity in God_x0019_ s presence. Scored for two-part choir and keyboard, this octavo also comes with a guitar part including fret diagrams for all of Roc_x0019_ s colorful chord voicings.
