Keep in mind. by Fr. Lucien Deiss — Lyrics
About Keep in mind.
"Keep in mind" is a profound and comforting antiphon that anchors us in the core of our faith: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Drawing its words directly from Saint Paul's second letter to Timothy, the song pairs a strong, declarative refrain with short, meditative verses. When we sing "He is our saving Lord, he is joy for all ages," we are reminding ourselves and the congregation of the ultimate victory over death.
Because of its clear focus on the resurrection, this piece is a natural choice for the Easter season. However, it is perhaps most moving when sung at funerals. In those moments of grief, the choir's voices gently carry the promise that "if we die in the Lord, we shall live with the Lord." The simple, chant-like verses allow the text to breathe, offering a quiet strength and reassurance to everyone gathered in the church.
