Product Description

This arrangement of the Tune RESTORATION, to which "I Will Arise and Go to Jesus" is commonly sung, has a text from a group of 19th c. gospel songs which tells the parable of The Prodigal Son. The imagery of "arising and going to Jesus (or 'The Father')" parallels the story of the ever loving and forgiving parent. The plaintive nature of the piece portrays the deep sense of contrition and the overwhelming forgiveness and embracing.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
