OCP: Music that serves God's people

A New Heart Octavo cover

OCTAVO SPOTLIGHT

A New Heart
Bob Hurd

Featuring text that comes directly from Scripture, this song explores God’s promise to us—a promise to transform our hearts as we repent and return to him. The five verses deal with earthly concerns, musically expressed through an emphasis on minor chords; these concerns are answered in the refrain, the major tonal center of which represents the redemptive power of God’s forgiveness. Scored for SATB choir, keyboard, guitar, and solo instrument in C, this song’s themes of reconciliation and forgiveness make it a great option throughout Lent.
