This gospel-style hymn by Rob Monath serves as the inspiration for a flowing, contemporary choral setting by renowned organist and arranger, Carolyn Hamlin. The music harks back to a time when people were intimately connected with nature in the daily experience of the sights and sounds of God’s creation. The lyrics take us through a meditation on this theme: “The golden flowers, a winding stream, shining pastures of living green. We feel God’s presence, God’s loving grace, within creation, we find our place.” A Youtube video featuring stunning images of nature accompanied by a performance of the work is found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v4EFZ2itYY
