James Chepponis set Alan Hommerding's text for a church dedication in a refrain-verse style, ensuring ease of participation for the congregation. The instrumentation provided is flexible and optional, making this an ideal entrance piece for more ordinary occasions as well. The triple meter of the verses for choir and/or soloist contrast with the robust duple meter of the refrain, whose words reminds us that a church is more than a place of prayer- it is a doorway open to the world..
