Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 40, I Will Wait upon the Lord
Another oldy, but goody. This is one of my earliest congregational songs and was immortalized (well, recorded) on my CD The Greg Scheer Song Book, which, by the way is still available for the unbelievable price of $10. On that … Continue reading

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 36, Deeper than the Sea

Revenge of the Killer B’s: Psalm 30, Sing to God
I’ve blogged about “Sing to God” previously (and shortly after that), but I thought I’d let you hear it again. I still like this tune quite a lot. Evidently the editors of PfAS didn’t. (To be honest, I can’t remember if I … Continue reading

Christ Has Died
Churches of a liturgical bent usually include the “memorial acclamation” as part of their communion liturgy. The leader says “Let us proclaim the mystery of faith” and the people respond with “Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come … Continue reading

The Body of Christ
As I worked on Cardiphonia’s Songs for the Supper project, I wrote lots of sketches before settling on “O Lamb of God” as the one I’d record “for real.” I recently got a chance to complete and record a few … Continue reading

The First Nowell
What better time to premiere a new arrangement than on Christmas Eve just before the stroke of midnight? Indeed, last night saw the unveiling of an arrangement of “The First Nowell” for solo, guitar, strings and piano. It’s been something … Continue reading

Benedict: Up from My Youth
By now y’all are probably sick of hearing about the Psalms of Ascent series at Church of the Servant. Sorry… A few weeks ago Psalm 129 came up. Now, if you search hymnary.org for, say, Psalm 8 or 40, you’ll … Continue reading
