“One thing I ask of the Lord; this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to  gaze  upon  the  beauty  of  the  Lord,
and to seek him in his temple.” (Psalm 27:4)

I’ve always been fascinated, perplexed and amazed by this verse, especially the idea of gazing on the beauty of God, whom our eyes cannot now see, with a singleness of focus and desire. In this piece, I’ve tried to musically convey  an awestruck, reverent wonder along with a childlike excitement and delight – both, I feel, appropriate responses  to the hope of beholding perfect, divine beauty. -Rebekah Cummings
