Come, Sinners, Come, to the Gospel Feast
Pastor Nate preached from Luke 14:15-24 last Sunday. The parable of the great banquet is compelling and comforting, but there aren’t a lot of songs based on this text. Charles Wesley to the rescue! In 1747, he wrote a beautiful … Continue reading

I Will Not Let You Go
What do you do when your pastor decides to preach on Genesis 32:22-31? Sure, the story of Jacob’s late night wrestling match with a stranger (man? angel? God?) is a common Old Testament story, but there simply aren’t a lot … Continue reading

O Breath of Life (by rote at COS)
Update 12/11/21: Sheet music for this song is now available at gregscheer.com. Recently I recorded a pop punk retune of a hymn text by Bessie Porter Head. Naturally, the idea was met with some skepticism. Don’t let the style throw … Continue reading

O Breath of Life
Update 12/11/21: Sheet music for this song is now available at gregscheer.com. What do I like about Bessie Porter Head? What’s not to like? I say. First, her name is Bessie, which is cool in an old-fashioned way, andĀ also rhymes … Continue reading
