Composed by Stephen DeCesare. Arranged by Stephen DeCesare. This edition: audio. Christian, Gospel, Praise & Worship, Religious, Sacred. Full Performance. Duration 234. Exultet Music #1220738. Published by Exultet Music (A0.1654272).
Based on the powerful passage from Luke 12:49–53, "The Fire He Came to Cast" is a bold and evocative hymn that explores the cost of following Christ. This strophic setting begins with unison verses, allowing the text to speak with prophetic clarity, and expands into rich harmonies in the chorus, where the Church responds in faith and resolve.
The music features expressive harmonic turns—including augmented and modal chords—and ends in an unexpected tonal shift, reflecting the unsettling truth of Jesus’ message. Ideal for church choirs, sacred concerts, or services emphasizing the themes of truth, division, and spiritual courage. This piece is both musically compelling and theologically rich.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global
self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
