The God Who Sees Me

SATB choir, 4'45" (2021)

In the book of Genesis, the first person to name God is Hagar, an African slave woman. She calls Him “The God who sees me.” These themes of naming, the name of God, and identity recur throughout the Bible. Acknowledgement and acceptance of the identities of individuals and groups is also a frequent topic of discussion in public life today. I wrote this anthem in celebration of God as an entity that not only knows us thoroughly, but truly accepts and celebrates every single part of ourselves.
