Viam Dei—a latin title meaning "Way of God"—is a work that tries to express musically the struggles, the push and pull, the pain and peace that the Christian encounters on the road on which God has placed each of His beloved—the path toward sanctification. Structurally, the continued use of a two-chord progression provides the thematic content throughout the work as a reminder that during this life we are inevitably torn between peace and pain, victory and defeat, joy and sorrow. As the piece nears its conclusion, we find a chordal resolution that represents our finished journey. The Christian's faith, having been tested, is now made complete in the sight of the Savior, face-to-face.
Featuring lyrics drawn from Scripture and a lifetime of theological reflection, Glory to the Holy One is a collection of beautiful new hymns written by Dr. R.C. Sproul, wedded with soaring melodies written by award-winning composer, Jeff Lippencott. Recorded in esteemed venues around the world, this new project provides the church with an offering of that which is good, true, and beautiful in the Christian faith.
