This stately hymn should not be played too fast. Keep it slow enough to allow for plenty of expression. The sixteenth patterns should sound effortless, while accenting the melody notes. Extra care should be taken to play the last two bars lightly while holding the sustain pedal at just the right place, as marked in the music.

The intro motif incorporates an effective, gentle echo of the invitation line, O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, which is repeated several times throughout. The second verse builds beautifully into a modulation and grand statement for the third verse, which then recedes to the tender invitation moment offered by the refrain. The closing phrase (There is room in my heart for Thee!) should be played freely, taking great care for expression and tenderness.

In the first verse, each phrase of the melody in octaves alternates with a chorale-style phrase, encouraging contrast in playing style. The choral style phrases are actually harmonizations of the melody played backwards, from the end to the beginning. The second verse begins with a sudden modulation to Db, a very warm key utilizing some tasteful altered chords. The final triumphant verse ends in the bright key of D, settling into a warm, contemplative ending.

The opening beautifully portrays the first verse lyrics: When peace, like a riverand like sea billows roll. Inventive harmonics propel the transitions, the refrains, and the modulation into a triumphant last verse, ending gently like it began, with the peaceful flowing feel of a gentle river.

In 1982 I was asked to create a piano arrangement of the great David Meece song We Are the Reason, composed two years earlier. It was my first published piano arrangement. Now, over forty years later, it is still a great song. This is the first time I have recorded it, inspired partly by other YT posts of this arrangement. We are the reason He gave all He could give, His very life; and now I've finally found the reason for living, to give all to Him. Amen!

The tension between the agony and horrific scene of the cross and the wondrous salvation provided through the cross must be sensed and even felt throughout. The ominous beginning continues to cast a shadow of tension throughout the first verse. The second verse, in minor mode, grows even more agitated as sorrow and love flow mingled down from His head, hands and feet. But the full impact of the cross begins to shine through as the tempo picks up and leads to a strong opening third verse statement, though still in minor mode. Finally with the last half of the closing verse, Love so amazing, so divine, major chords are once more sounded and the wondrous glory of the cross leads to a huge conclusion as the opening minor motif is now presented in victorious major mode for a grand final statement!

Flowing sixteenths provide a bed for this contemporary setting that help paint the images expressed in these classic lyrics. Verse 2 is more adventurous, approaching jazz elements, after which an optional ending is available for a shorter arrangement. Verse 3 builds to an exciting climactic moment then returns to the gentle flowing feel to end the way it started, but with a major texture instead of the minor, more foreboding texture at the beginning.
