From the Christmas cantata, Canticle of Joy, we are pleased to offer We Are His Gold by Joseph Martin. Using the beloved folk tune, O Waly, Waly, Martin has written an exquisite text about God's greatest treasure - us! We are the jewels in his crown and our praises rise to heaven like sweet perfume. Written for the 25th anniversary of Lonnie Stewart as Minister of Music at First Baptist Church, West Monroe, Louisiana, this anthem reveals to us our own beauty in the eyes of our Father, and praises Him for creating us to be His own.
