This piece was commissioned by and is dedicated to Luke Hahn. The verses Romans 8: 38-39 are of personal significance to Luke and were utilized as a major compositional device.
FOR I AM PERSUADED,
THAT NEITHER DEATH,
NOR LIFE, NOR ANGELS,
NOR PRINCIPALITIES,
NOR POWERS, NOR
THINGS PRESENT, NOR
THINGS TO COME, NOR
HEIGHT, NOR DEPTH,
NOR ANY OTHER
CREATURE, SHALL BE
ABLE TO SEPARATE US
FROM THE LOVE OF GOD,
WHICH IS IN CHRIST
JESUS OUR LORD.
