Shortly after the mass shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo, David Bjorlin sent an email with a new hymn text, “Teach Us Your Peace.” It addressed the fatigue I was feeling from the seemingly endless cycle of death and denial. I hope David’s text and my newly composed tune will be a life-giving balm amidst a culture so enamored with weapons and so willing to offer our children to the god of untethered freedom.

Ten Commandments responsive reading
This resource is a responsive reading of the 10 Commandments, pairing the Old Testament law with Jesus’ summary of the greatest Commandment. In the Reformed tradition, the 10 Commandments are often included in worship as a response to the assurance of pardon. This allows these commands to function as laws of life rather than laws of death. They provide a way for us to live into the grace that God has given us.
Download includes a pdf file with the responsive reading on its own, and a confession/assurance sequence based on Psalm 145.

Thank You, Lord
[audio mp3="https://gregscheer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/thank_you_lord-piano.mp3"][/audio]
Like many Black Gospel songs, the beauty of this is that it focuses on one thing (thanksgiving) while allowing for lots of flexibility. The lead singer can improvise new verses in the moment (“Been so good,” “Saved my soul,” etc); the Just Add People! piano arrangement is equally flexible, with an optional modulation and chord symbols for guitar, bass, and other instruments.Piano accompaniment for congregational singing.

The options may be chosen on the product page[audio mp3="https://gregscheer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/02-The-Beauty-of-Your-Holiness.mp3"][/audio]This song was written to celebrate the completion of pastor Lou Mitchell’s dissertation, The Experience of Beauty in the Thought of Jonathan Edwards. The song draws on images Edwards uses in writings such as Religious Affections and The Excellency of Christ and from 2 Chronicles 20:21: “After he (Jehoshaphat) had advised the people, he appointed people to sing to the Lord and praise him for the beauty of his holiness.”

The First Nowell
$20.00 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page[audio mp3="https://gregscheer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/scheer-the_first_nowell.mp3"][/audio]“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.

The Kingdom of Heaven
Price range: $0.00 through $5.00 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page[audio mp3="https://gregscheer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/the_kingdom_of_heaven.mp3"][/audio]“The Sermon on the Mount” contains some of Jesus’ most beloved words, but there are surprisingly few songs that take up these themes. As some settings of “The Beatitudes” have fallen into disuse it seemed the time was ripe for a new one. The verses are nearly verbatim scripture and the chorus is exceedingly easy to learn.
