Ah my Dear Lord by Ian Davies — Lyrics
Ah, my dear Lord ! what couldst thou spy
In this impure, rebellious clay,
That made Thee thus resolve to die
For those that kill Thee every day ?

About Ah my Dear Lord
Ah my Dear Lord is a moving sacred anthem for SATB choir, set to an English text that contemplates the profound mystery of Christ's sacrifice. The words express a deep wonder at the divine love that compelled Jesus to die for humanity, despite our sinfulness. The composer's setting seeks to convey the powerful emotional weight of this theological reflection, exploring the paradox of God's love overcoming death itself. This piece offers a thoughtful and devotional reflection suitable for a choir looking to explore themes of sacrifice and redemptive love in their programming.
