Acoustic Acrostic is from a collection of Psalm-based songs composed by Paul K Heatley while participating in an artist residency program run by Fuller Seminary for which Paul was sponsored by his local church in Pasadena, CA. The title refers to the fact that Psalm 111 was originally written as an acrostic poem using successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet at the beginning of each line. Paul decided to apply that concept to his musical adaptation of the English text - and thought he might as well make it rhyme too! The music owes something to Pachelbel's Canon and this simple arrangement, designed to sung by two alternating voices, could well be used in a liturgical setting.
