Some years ago, when my Dad got wind that I was writing music, he decided to create a new text that I would set to music. He created his new text, "Alleluia! Christ Is With Us," and gave it to me. Being a grateful and devoted son, I thanked him, took the new text home with me, and promptly forgot all about it. About a year later, my Dad got a new car and offered me his old one. It wasn't a great car, but it was free, and I needed a car. There was just one condition: that I create a new composition based on his text. Well, I really wanted the car, so that's precisely what I did. My Dad, of course, loves this song; he says it's "the next Amazing Grace." I have my doubts, but I guess you can be the judge of that. The car, by the way, is long dead; the song, however, still lives. Oh, Dad, if you find yourself on scoreexchange.com and see this, be sure to write a review of this song, and be sure to include the phrase, "the next Amazing Grace."
