     An acappella setting of the well-known biblical blessing. Though brief, it requires an intermediate-level choir. It would be especially appropriate for the closing of a meeting, due to the nature of the text. Two keys are available to choose from due to the high range in the original key for the altos.

Words from John 14:27
Music by M Ryan Taylor

     "Peace I Leave With You, one of my earlier works, it is still one of my personal favorites. It requires an intermediate choir able to sing acappella, yet is not over-challenging. The text, a verse in John 14, has long been a source of comfort and inspiration to me in times of distress. Christ is the sure source of peace.” ~ M Ryan Taylor
