About THE TIME IS NEAR, WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLEEP
This choral arrangement brings together two urgent scriptural calls to spiritual readiness, drawing directly from Romans 13 and Isaiah 55. The first section, "The Time is Near," uses stacked verses to deliver the Pauline exhortation to cast off the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. It builds a sense of anticipation and alertness, making it highly fitting for Advent or penitential seasons where the choir leads the parish in reflection and preparation.
The second movement, "Seek the Lord," shifts into a shorter, overlapping choral call. The voices echo one another, creating a sense of earnest pleading to call upon God while He is near. Together, these scriptural settings provide a unified message for worship, often used during Lenten retreats or as a reflective piece to stir the hearts of the congregation toward repentance and grace.
