Jesus
[audio mp3="https://gregscheer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/jesus.mp3"][/audio]“The most eloquent poetry, the richest theology barely begins to reveal the mystery.” This acoustic rock ballad concedes that no words or music will ever capture the beauty and love of Jesus. But isn’t his surpassing worth and our inability to fully understand him all the more reason for adoration?

Jesus, Be Enough
Price range: $0.00 through $25.00 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page[audio mp3="https://gregscheer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/jesus_be_enough-choir.mp3"][/audio]Most Christmas songs are all joy and confidence: Shepherds overwhelmed by angelic songs; Wisemen led by navigational stars. But if your life is at all like mine, those moments are rare. Instead, life is often accompanied by a soundtrack of doubt, missteps, and loss. “Jesus, Be Enough” asks the question: Is Jesus a sufficient gift even when Christmas miracles don’t occur? Will we trust God even when our prayers seem to go unanswered? It is a Christmas carol for the rest of us. [Above is a demo of the choral anthem and below is a version with guitar and cello.]

Jesus, Lord of Life and Glory

This beautiful hymn by James John Cummins had fallen into disuse until fairly recently. It covers all of life— depth of sin, temptation, ease and joy, sickness, and dying— and always brings us back to the prayer, “By your mercy, oh, deliver us, good Lord.”

The options may be chosen on the product page[audio mp3="https://gregscheer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/COS-jesus_my_great_highpriest.mp3"][/audio]There are few songs that use the image of Jesus as high priest. Shepherd, Bread of Life, yes, but not high priest. I fell in love with this text by Isaac Watts and wrote a new tune for it.

Jesus, You Are Here

In Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s “shelter in place” order took effect at midnight; an attempt to slow the spread of the coronavirus, everyone is to stay home except for the necessities. When I woke this morning, I considered how quickly the world changes. People all over Michigan–all over the world–are finding themselves confined to their homes. Maybe they’re dreading the silence. Maybe they can’t imagine getting through a whole day with all their children at home. Maybe they’ll lie awake at night worrying about their loved ones catching the virus.
This simple song, dubbed “a hymn for sheltering in place” reminds us that Jesus walks with us during these times.

Price range: $0.00 through $20.00 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageNothing beats Beethoven’s original as found in the 9th Symphony, but if your pianist or praise band is going to lead “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You” this arrangement really sparkles–and the strings really bring it to another level.
