Show us the way 
to our one, true home  

Like Bernadette's previous collections, GO BEFORE US expresses a commitment to social justice, inviting Jesus to go before us and guide us in ways that bring peace to the world.  
 
Containing psalm settings, songs suitable for children, and music for use in the liturgy throughout the year, GO BEFORE US features 13 original songs arranged for organ, piano, guitar, flute, strings and brass. Three of the texts on this collection are by New Zealand poet Shirley Erena Murray, whose work Bernadette greatly admires. 
 
Bernadette wrote "Christ Beside Us" for the bicentennial celebration of the Ursuline Sisters of Jesus. The title song is dedicated to Jackie Birch (1965-2002), a school teacher and close friend of Bernadette's who died unexpectedly. Appropriate for funerals and other occasions when we pray for God's comfort and healing, "Go Before Us" is a soothing, hopeful song asking Jesus to "show us the way to our one true home."
