A light gospel sound inhabits this offering that begins in an easy-going manner with a solo or the men's voices. Before long, the choir joins a robust refrain featuring a dynamic-but not impossibly high-soprano descant. Certainly a consideration for the smaller (SAB) choir that has a lot of passion to share with the assembly.

The text of "Be Merciful," drawn from Luke, reminds us to be merciful to others as God is merciful to us; the verses provide concrete examples. Alternate choral settings for the verses (two-part and "backup") offer some variety. The relaxed tone suggests natural use as a prelude or even at the preparation of gifts, post-Communion, or other times of reflection. Originally written for the Jubilee Year of Mercy, this song will be appropriate as long as the need for mercy remains.
