Paul’s simple, yet profound, greeting to the church in Rome is the inspiration for this song. It could be used effectively as a gathering song, a benediction or during the passing of the peace.

This song also appears in the hymnal Singing the New Testament.

In this song’s lyrics, Tammy Moody ties together images of harvesting the land, social justice, and the Lord’s Supper. The more connections we can make between what we do in worship and in the world, the better.

One of the things I occasionally do in my songs is dedicate a verse to each person of the Trinity. In this song it takes the form of 1) Jesus Christ, the rock upon which the church is built 2) the Spirit who descends like a dove as we worship 3) the Lord God who has shown us mercy and deserves our offerings of praise. The song is also appropriate for prayer meetings; if you’d like to change the lyrics to “House of Prayer” for such occasions feel free to do so.

If you’d like to expand your repertoire of dedication songs beyond the classics “I Surrender All” and “Take My Life and Let It Be” you should give this a try. It’s a short Matt Redman-ish song which reminds us that our lives are a 24/7 sacrifice in response to God’s love.

This was written for Cornerstone University Ministry at the request of Henry Knapp. I chose Psalm 40 because I felt that the image of the feet being placed on solid rock could be appropriately updated to refer to the Solid Rock, Jesus Christ, the Cornerstone of our faith.

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).”

This quiet ballad uses I Kings 19:11-13 and events from Jesus’ ministry to reflect on hearing the still, small voice of the Lord in our world today. The song can be effectively led by a praise team or sung as an anthem by choir.

“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?

There are many songs that are perfect for Easter day (“Christ the Lord Is Risen Today,” for example.), but few that remain appropriate during Eastertide. “Jesus Lives, and So Shall I” will take you through the whole season of Easter with its focus on our new life in the risen Christ.

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.

This triumphant hymn of commitment sounds wonderful on organ or piano, but worship team? Not so much. This leadsheet and rough demo provide an alternative approach for leading the hymn in a band context.
