Cherish the Cross arr. Chuck Sinclair, for Intermediate Piano
More than a dozen beloved Holy Week hymns receive an inspired, contemporary treatment in “Cherish the Cross” by Chuck Sinclair. Mostly meditative, and enhanced by lush harmonies, these creative arrangements will fill many musical needs in the weeks leading up to Good Friday. Titles include: “There Is a Fountain (with I Know a Fount),” “At the Cross,” “O Sacred Head, Now Wounded,” “Cherish the Cross Medley,” “Nothing but the Blood of Jesus,” “Jesus Paid It All,” “My Faith Has Found a Resting Place (with My Faith Looks Up to Thee),” “Beneath the Cross of Jesus (with When I Survey the Wondrous Cross),” “What Wondrous Love Is This?,” “How Great Thou Art,” and “O Love That Will Not Let Me Go.”
