THE FATHER SEEKS TRUE WORSHIPPERS

(Gospel Choir Anthem – SATB, A Cappella with Organ Support)

INTRODUCTION (Softly – A Cappella)

Bass:

Holy is the Lord,

Faithful is His Word,

King of endless light,

Righteous in His sight.

Tenor:

Walk not in the ways

Of darkness and deceit,

For the Father's voice

Calls His people to His feet.

VERSE 1

Soprano:

When you enter in the land

That the Lord has freely given,

Turn away from every snare,

Keep your eyes on Him in Heaven.

Alto:

Neither charms nor sorcery,

Neither signs that lead astray,

For the Lord abhors the darkness,

And He calls His own to stay.

Tenor:

He is seeking hearts devoted,

Hearts that tremble at His Word,

Lives surrendered to His purpose,

Listening only to the Lord.

Bass:

For His truth becomes a lamp,

And His wisdom lights the way,

Those who walk within His counsel

Shall not stumble nor decay.

---

CHORUS (Full SATB Harmony)

All:

In Spirit and in Truth,

We bow before Your throne,

Father of all Majesty,

To You our hearts belong.

In Spirit and in Truth,

Our songs to You arise,

Receive our praise, Eternal King,

Our holy sacrifice.

In Spirit and in Truth,

We worship none but Thee,

For You alone are God Most High,

Through all eternity.

---

VERSE 2

Alto & Tenor:

By the well the Savior spoke,

Words of everlasting grace,

Not confined to hills or temples,

But revealed in every place.

Soprano:

For the Father seeks His children,

Those whose hearts are pure and true,

Those who walk within the Spirit,

Those whose lives are made anew.

Bass:

God is Spirit, God is Holy,

None can hide before His face,

Blessed are the true worshippers

Who abide within His grace.

---

BRIDGE (Building Intensity)

Soprano:

Cleanse our hearts, O Lord of Glory!

Alto:

Wash our souls and make us whole!

Tenor:

Lead us from the path of darkness!

Bass:

Take complete and full control!

All:

We renounce all empty idols,

Every voice that leads astray,

Fix our eyes upon Your Kingdom,

Guide us in Your perfect way.

---

GRAND CHORUS

All:

In Spirit and in Truth,

We lift our hands above,

Singing of redemption's power,

Singing of Your love.

In Spirit and in Truth,

Our voices now unite,

Shining as a holy people,

Walking in Your light.

In Spirit and in Truth,

Forever we proclaim:

Jesus Christ, the Risen Savior,

Blessed be Your Name!
