    This fourth song of the “Seven Last Words” project has Jesus speaking perhaps the most desolate words of the Bible: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34) These words uttered from the cross are actually a direct quote from Psalm 22, where we read of a Psalmist surrounded by enemies but ultimately saved from the grasp of death.

    If Jesus could trust God even on the cross, certainly we can cry out for deliverance even in the middle of our pain, doubt, and despair.

    From the cross, the One who described himself as Living Water asks for a drink. “I thirst.” This simple sentence says so much: Christ was not spared from his thirst and we shouldn’t expect to be, either. Instead, our journey will be one of both thirsting and quenching, peace and restlessness, fulfillment and yearning.

    “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” In the drama of the crucifixion, these words meant, “I’m ready to die.” But there is another layer of meaning, for Jesus and for us: Jesus committed himself–trusted his whole being–to God’s care. That should be our posture, too, both in our living and our dying.

  • Seven Last Words: 7. It Is Finished!

    “It is finished” were the final words Christ uttered as he died. It is important to note that the word he used is not one that means “That’s it–I’m done” but a word of completion. His work complete, he gave himself over to death.

    The crux of Christianity (pun intended) is Christ’s work on the cross. Let’s rest entirely on Christ for our salvation and life.

  • The First Nowell

    “The First Nowell” is the quintessential Christmas carol and a classic folk tune, but too many arrangements fetter the flowing melody with four-part harmony. My approach is simple: let the melody sing itself and support it with an accompaniment that keeps things moving forward. After a brief string intro, it starts small–just guitar and solo voice–and then builds momentum over the song’s 6 verses.

    This arrangement of THE KING OF GLORY COMES works with the familiar text by Willard F. Jabusch as well as Greg’s Palm Sunday text, “Hosanna in the Highest.” Optional flute descants add to the Klezmer feel of this rhythmic tune.

    Arrangements for strings and brass are also available with the alternate text.

    “The Peaceable Kingdom,” like the Edward Hicks painting from which I borrowed the song’s title, is a rendering of the famous Isaiah 11:1-9 passage that describes predator and prey playing together, led by a little child. At Christmas, we understand this Child to be Christ, the little child who came into the world to usher in an age of peace.

    Celebrating the majesty of the Father, the life of the Son, and the vision of the Holy Spirit, this choral anthem is a “must do” for any any church that has a flutist; but don’t worry if you don’t have one–the vocal writing is exciting enough to stand on its own!

    “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.” (Job 1:21)
    “We Worship You” was first sung at Chuck Rosemeyer’s memorial service, and though it was introduced in this context, it is truly a song of gratitude, thanking God for all of his gifts and recognizing his hand in life, death, and the life to come.

    This song is mentioned in Greg’s podcast, “Thanksgiving Brainstorms.”

    PowerPoint slides for congregational singing are available from Digital Songs & Hymns.
