A beautiful, contemplative melody; rich, emotional text (alternate text for communion); easily learned – this prayerful anthem is an expression of our overwhelming gratitude for Christ's ultimate sacrifice, and a poignant encounter with the cross itself. It tenderly acknowledges this moment in time when “Jesus took my place” and eternal victory over death was won. “Our Hearts Embrace the Cross” causes us to reflect upon our own redemption through the crucifixion. An alternate communion text makes this anthem a must for any church music library. It will have a profound effect on all that hear.
