This Same Jesus: Songs of His Promised Return

This Same Jesus: Songs of His Promised Return, a choral presentation by Paul Skiles, arranged by Paul Mickelson, published by Lillenas Publishing Company in 1971

Synopsis: This same Jesus...will be back. And soon. God promised it...and meant it. The purpose of this collection is simply to celebrate life in Jesus...here and now...and at His coming. By accepting enthusiasm for this life as His gift. And by accepting the promise of His return as the ultimate hope. Simultaneously. It is not to promote a morbid escapism, but to declare a clear-eyed confidence. It it not to put words in anybody's mouth, but to put faith in somebody's heart. It is a time to look in. And out. And up. And on. Paul Mickelson, man of exceptional musical and spiritual gifts, caught the serious, bright hope and developed it excitingly in the stirring arrangements that follow. There is great variety and great unity. Although the presentation was conceived and developed with the International Youth Institute in mind, and first performed there, it will have widespread appeal among congregations and choral and instrumental musicians of all ages.  This Same Jesus is full of excitement...as it must certainly be. Dynamic. Expressive. Creative. Inspired. Inspiring.
