Rick Lee James arranges the hymn "Such Wondrous Love" for five vocal parts that alternate through verses about Christ's sacrifice and divine grace. The singers repeat "Such love, such wondrous love" and "How wonderful is love like his" in layered harmonies and call-and-response, building a meditative worship sound.
