JOY — King of Love

The season of Lent is a time for penitence and prayer, for personal reflection on the greatest gift of all: the sacrifice of the Savior. From Bach’s St. John Passion to John Rutter’s Requiem, we present music that helps us focus on the ultimate gift: salvation from the King of Love.
