From the arranger:
Dissonance and consonance are constants in life. Most of us prefer spending a majority of our time in the peaceful parts, but there is growth and learning in the chaos. This arrangement starts with stringent, dissonant chords that evolve into a tune floating around in my head that went along with words from John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid". The lyrics to "Lean On My Ample Arm" lead us towards focusing on Christ to find that peace.
