Perfect Love
SATB divisi choir, unaccompanied
Motet
Commissioned by Edward D. Anderson Choral Scholars Fund to honor The Concordia Choir (Concordia College), Michael Culloton, conductor
When ways of the world
whisper in your ear
guard with wisdom
careful what you hear
remember you left
your burdens there
don’t let go
for the Sun is reigning, rising, shining
from above
be still and know
stand still and know
perfect love
Bask in glory for a time
in time you will find
mercy and grace
will suit your case
it’s just the beginning
keep the faith, finish the race
Endure, Endure
And lift your hands
Wholly holy
offer your heart, your soul, your mind
leave this world behind
you’ve got a light to shine
reflecting… the Son
the Sun is reigning, rising, shining
from above
be still and know
stand still and know
perfect love
