Words by Dame Julian of Norwich, music by Sheldon Curry
Dame Julian of Norwich lived during dark days, yet her unwavering devotion to God allowed her to see her troubled world with a sense of compassion and optimism. Sometimes our contemporary lives feel like those dark ages. This anthem is born of some of those recent dark days. Fallujah, Iraq, March 2004; Tucson, Arizona January 2011 ... both violent, nightmare experiences of loss and deep pain. But through it all the words of Dame Julian still ring true – with God in Jesus Christ – all shall be well. Nothing can separate us from God's love.
