The popular praise chorus by Tomlin, Reeves, and Cash is here arranged for three, four, or five octaves of handbells. The mood is majestic and strong throughout, and the piece is fully scored to keep all ringers involved. Syncopations, inherent in popular music, are well suited for bell techniques. Staccatos add to the mix, as does a single shake toward the end. Arranged in Ab Major, measures total 74.
