If you make his soul new edit.flv
This particular song has its own story. Listening to the musical in order to translate it, I noticed something more needed to be said: Knowing Jesus died to reconcile you to God is not the whole thing. You need to accept Him for yourself. I therefore drafted some of the passages from Isaiah (Jerusalem Bible translation) that said this, and developed it with a thought found in Julian of Norwich. When John Steffensen was given my suggestion, he surprised me by putting music to the draft itself, and later translating this into Norwegian.
This musical version of the Passion of Christ was written and revised from about 1974 through 1976 by John Steffensen, leader of the Ten-Sing choir Sanctus, from Åsane, Bergen, Norway.
