Review:
Fitting for both traditional and contemporary worship, Getty and Townend's "The Power of the Cross" is a thought-provoking reflection on Christ's sufferings, and a powerful song for Lent, Easter, or communion services. This arrangement for 2 to 3 or 3-5 octaves of handbells truly enhances the meditative text of the hymn and draws listeners into worship, with an introduction and conclusion built around "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross". 102 measures in length, it is arranged in the keys of C Major, D Major, and Eb Major.
