Behold the Wood

This is a song of adoration based on the familiar Good Friday antiphon with verses that are derived from the Gospel of John. This piece originally appeared in the choral songbook, A Dwelling Place (edition 9470). It has become since its release in 1976 one of the most popular songs from that collection, providing inspiration for our lives, rooted in the love of Christ. Arranged beautifully for SATB or SAB choir, the mood of the song is one of simple reverence before the mystery of our salvation.
