This song is part of a collection of reflective songs used in Lenten services. The songs are written as simple, two-part songs based on traditional hymn texts married with new melodies or traditional folk melodies. These pieces were written with guitar accompaniment in mind.

Lenten readings and the extinguishing of candles as well as a focus word were part of the brief services which led to the total darkness of Good Friday. Anyone interested in the complete package should make contact by email and the readings will be freely supplied.
