It Was A Cross (Not A Rose) by Ken Medema 4-Part - Digital Sheet Music

By Ken Medema
Chorus Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1797579

Composed by Ken Medema. Arranged by Heather Knezevich. This edition: pdf. 21st Century, Christian, Easter, Film/TV, Gospel. 6 pages. David M. Atkinson #1357817. Published by David M. Atkinson (A0.1797579).

This song was inspired by one sentence in a Puritan sermon. Heather Knezevich singled it out as one of her favorites. The message is simple: It was an agonizing and bloody cross that brought Simon of Cyrene into direct contact with redemption - not a beautiful and fragrant rose. Simon and his sons appear later in the New Testament as key figures in early church history. The shed blood of our Lord and the pain of death to self draw us into close fellowship with the God of the universe. After 2-3 sentences explaining context, this song can stand alone or appear in an Easter musical or drama. Its mood and progression reminds one of an epic selection from a Broadway play or Christian film.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
