Nothing Short of Grace
Composed to be accessible to singers of varying skills for a women's choral festival finale, "Nothing Short of Grace" is appropriate for any occasion that reflects on challenges requiring inner fortitude. The work was inspired by the #MeToo movement and is a part of Szymko's DARE TO BE POWERFUL choral series; moderate to advanced choral works that are passionate expressions of women's worth, power and potential.

To take one step takes courage.
To take one step takes heart.
It takes heart.
But to keep going, never knowing
what may lie ahead.
To choose the unknown and
look fear in the face:
That is nothing short of grace.
To take one step takes courage.
To take one step takes heart.
It takes heart.
Sister, keep going,
though you may not know what lies ahead.
Choose the unknown and
look fear in the face:
That is nothing short of grace.
