Father in Heaven by Adrian Guerra — Lyrics
Father in Heaven!
Hold not our sins up against us
but hold us up against our sins
so that the thought of You
when it wakens in our soul,
and each time it wakens,

About Father in Heaven
Father in Heaven is a sacred anthem for SATB choir. The text offers a profound prayer, seeking divine grace and forgiveness. It contrasts the weight of past transgressions with the comfort of God's merciful absolution. The lyrics express a desire for spiritual awakening not to be burdened by sin, but to be uplifted by the memory of salvation and redemption. This setting provides a powerful opportunity for choirs to explore themes of penitence, faith, and divine love through rich choral textures.
