You must not overlook this exciting new offering for Easter from the creative team of Cliff Duren and Dave Clark. Love Is Alive kicks off with a stirring call to the worldwide church of Christ in “Come People of the Risen King,” by Keith & Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend, and leads the worshipper into a moving and personal journey through the events of Passion Week through such works as the vibrant and celebrative “Here Comes the King”, the soul-stirring “Love Is Alive,” and a dynamic gospel arrangement of the traditional Easter hymn “Christ Arose.” The finale of this magnificent Easter celebration is Mark Schultz’s popular song “Love Has Come”, reminding one and all “...that God is love, and Love has come for us all.”
This fully orchestrated, narrated musical is accessible for most choirs, or praise team and choir combined, with solo opportunities for both men and women. An accompaniment DVD is also available to aid in congregational participation. Each piece in the collection can easily be lifted out for use at other times throughout the church year. Performance time: 40 minutes.
