Art House by Kathryn Rose — Lyrics
Life comes to an upper room,
breaking through the fear and gloom;
walls and doorlocks are no bar:
Jesus meets us where we are.
Life dispels the doubt of grief
bringing hope and new belief;
touching scars – these signs of pain
bring us back to life again.
Life comes to a broken heart,
bowed by sorrow, torn apart;
in the darkness of our tears
Jesus speaks to calm our fears.

About Art House
Kathryn Rose’s hymn Art House offers a message of hope and renewal for SATB choir. The English text draws parallels between the Upper Room event and contemporary experiences of fear, doubt, and grief, presenting Jesus as a source of comfort and strength. The lyrics explore themes of healing, reconciliation, and spiritual nourishment, using imagery of brokenness and restoration, fellowship, and shared meals. The composer’s setting of this profound text aims to convey a sense of profound spiritual encounter and the transformative power of faith, making it a moving addition to sacred repertoire.
