Because of Him is a sacred anthem by Mack Wilberg, setting words by his writing partner David Warner. Particularly appropriate for Easter, the piece utilises the hymn tune 'Prospect', which comes originally from the shape-note singing tradition. Flowing, familiar, and singable, it is a meditative and introspective reflection on Christ's love and the strength and fortitude of humankind.
