“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.” (James 3:17-18)
The beautiful anthem "The Question", composed by Joseph Martin, was especially commissioned by Great Valley Presbyterian Church in celebration of 300 years of God’s faithfulness to this congregation. To God be the glory!

The Question (Words and Music: Joseph M. Martin)
Lord, when I consider the wonders of the night The music of the stars, your dazzling dance of light; Lord, when I consider the wonders of your hand, The birds that soar on high, the oceans vast and wide; When I survey the miracle of life, I declare your majesty, And in my heart I cry: Lord, who am I?
You are my treasure, my precious one. You are the reason I sent my only Son. You are my chosen, my new creation, My own beloved, the apple of my eye. You are my temple, my dwelling place. You are a vessel for my amazing grace. You are my silver, my priceless pearl. O how I love you. O how I love you. I am your Shepherd. You are my lamb.
Your name is written in the palm of my hand. And I have you as a seal upon my arm. Nothing can separate you from my perfect love. Nothing can take you from my heart.
You are my treasure, my precious one. You are the reason I sent my only Son. You are my chosen, my new creation, My own beloved, the apple of my eye.
You are my temple, my dwelling place. You are a vessel for my amazing grace. You are my candle, light of the world. You are my silver, My priceless pearl.
O how I love you. O how I love you. I am your shepherd. O how I love you. O how I love you. I am your shepherd. You are my lamb. You are my lamb. I am your lamb
