I’ve Got Joy!
https://musicblog.gregscheer.com/wp-content/uploads/ive_got_joy.mp3
2 Corinthians 13:11 tells us: “Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice!” Here’s a rambunctious little ditty to accompany that theme. It fits beautifully alongside such Sunday School classics as “This Is the Day,” “Rejoice in the Lord Always,” and “I’ve Got the Joy, Joy, Joy (Down in My Heart).”

MARY MAGDALENE OF GRAND RAPIDS
https://musicblog.gregscheer.com/blest_be.mp3
Michael Perry’s 1973 setting of the Benedictus (Luke 1:68-79), “Blest Be the God of Israel” is usually paired with MERLE’S TUNE by Hal Hopson. That’s a beautiful tune, but sometimes a hymn needs more brawn than beauty. This new tune has a lot of similarities to the Peruvian Gloria, which could be used as an extended Amen at the end of the song.

Mary’s Song (Our King of Peace)
Price range: $0.00 through $35.00 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/marys_song.mp3"][/audio]Wendell Kimbrough’s setting of Mary’s Song captures the wonder, fear, and obedience of Mary’s response to Gabriel’s message. The song is a perfect fit for Advent, Christmas, and Lessons and Carols services. The choral arrangement places the choir alongside folk instruments, which is a lovely marriage for those who lead blended worship.
Listen to this new recording of the children’s choir anthem produced by Carey Luce and Carlos Colón:

Inspired by a hymn text of W.F. Lloyd, “My Times Are in Your Hands” is a prayer of trust that offers our lives to God in faith, whether our days be dark or bright, long or short. It can be sung at New Years’ services, in times of trial, or when embarking on new ministries.
This song is mentioned in Greg’s podcast, “New Year.”

Neither Death Nor Demon
http://musicblog.gregscheer.com/neither_death_nor_demon.mp3
This song on Romans 8 could be sung as a coda to my setting of Psalm 3 (same key) or as a stand-alone Scripture song. Though I took quite a bit of liberty with the text, I think it still conveys the spirit of Romans 8.
