AT THE NAME OF JESUS - Psalms 86:9-12, Phils. 2:10-11 I aspired to craft a choral composition that resonates through the ages, echoing in hearts until the glorious return of Jesus the Christ. In my quest for the perfect text, I sought words that profoundly express His greatness and declare that He alone deserves all adoration and praise. I recalled Psalms 86:9-12, a passage I've cherished and memorized over the years, which embodies this divine reverence. This contemplation then led me to Philippians 2:10-11, where the profound declaration that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess the majesty of God illuminated my path.
