Bless the Broken Road

BLESS THE BROKEN ROAD
Music by Marcus Hummon, et al
Arranged by Paul Justin M. Esguerra

"Bless the Broken Road" was co-written by Marcus Hummon, Bobby Boyd, and Jeff Hanna in 1994 and was first recorded by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band that same year. Of the many artists who have recorded their versions of the song, the most popular was by the Rascal Flatts, who went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 2005.

This song is an ode to finding one's true love or even one's true purpose and meaning. That despite all of life's detours, there is that one road, however broken it maybe, that will lead us to where God wants us to be.

This is also true for MCS whose members may have come and gone, but through our virtual choir series, we have found our way back to what we have always wanted all along - to create beautiful music with people who mean the most to us.

As part of our series of #MCSPremieres, we are proud to present this commissioned arrangement, by our very own Paul Justin Esguerra, a graduate of the UST Conservatory of Music. Paul has been part of MCS since 2016 and has toured with the group in 2017 (Singapore) and 2019 (Europe).
