A Servant in Your Heavenly
House – Lorenz 10/4124 A great piece
to call people to discipleship or to honor a special person. With the feel of a worship chorus, the three
melodies combine for an inspiring bit of counterpoint.
Amen Is Where We Begin – Lorenz 10/3785L view sample
Arise, O Church, Arise - Hal Leonard This was commissioned by
Bethlehem Procession - Glorysound A 7526 As the men begin with the drum-like, “Come, O come...,” the women soar with a lyrical line which beckons the listener to join the procession to see the Christ child. The piece builds to a joyous call to “come, see the shining light,” then gradually fades into the distance. You can almost feel the procession as it goes by. The optional bongos, tambourine and finger cymbals will make this anthem especially dramatic. A perfect piece to begin a program or to help tell the story of the wise men (Epiphany).
Blessed Are the
Peacemakers –
Blessed Is He - Glorysound This Palm Sunday anthem first appeared in ONCE UPON A TREE.
Blessing Riddle, The - Alfred 21607 I heard Doc Watson sing this folk melody with the words, "I Gave My Love a Cherry". This make a perfect benediction or parting song. A congregational version is incldued at the end to be used after the choir teaches the piece. Since it is a folk melody, it is almost immediately singable by the congregation.
Blessings Over Me – Alfred
00-32266
Bring Them In – Lorenz 10/3710L sample
Canta Hosanna –
Care for
Creation –
Carols We Love – Lorenz Piano book with
arrangements by Pepper
Choplin, Mark Hayes,
Children of Light - Hal Leonard
Christ Is Our Brother –
Christ Lives On - Monarch 10/3229M See the music.
Christ the Lord - Glorysound A 7387 (view score) One of my favorite anthems though it was not a “hit”. This worshipful anthem reflects on how the Christ’s name was first announced. It then calls the listener to praise Jesus as the Christ.. Smooth and contemplative, each verse ends with a smooth soaring line carrying the text, “Jesus, Saviour, Christ, the Lord”.
Christ Will Be Our Banner - Monarch 10/1292P
Christmas Gift, The - Beckenhorst The piece begins with the congregation singing a nice hymn text to the tune of "The Holly and the Ivy" Their words talk about giving gifts to each other to celebrate Christ's birthday. Then as a surprise, a soloist plays the role of Jesus and asks, "You celebrate my birthday... What is your gift to me?" Then, there is a dialogue that mirrors the Biblical text of Jesus' discussion with His disciples that ends: "When you do it unto the least of these, you do it unto me." The piece encourages the listener to minister to those in need as a Christmas gift to Christ. A very unique idea.
Christmas Hallelujah - Monarch 10/2817M See the Music | A Gospel celebration of the season.
Christmas Joy - Glorysound A 7016 view sample Spiritual for the season. With piano accompaniment.
Church Is An Ark, The - Glorysound A 7661
Church Without Walls
- Laurel Press (Lorenz) 10/2768LA
An inspiring prayer that God will lead the people of
God to be the church in the world as break down barriers.
Circle of Love – Glorysound An easy going country/folk anthem that reminds us that we are a circle of love in Christ. "Share the circle of love we've found, God is the center and God sur-rounds us with his love."
Circle of Praise - Glorysound A 7388 (view score) The text calls the listener to join heaven’s never-ending circle of praise. The anthem has a modal feel and setting which is reminiscent of “Carol of the Bells.. The piece begins with an soft, yet energetic opening and builds to a explosive “B” section. Choirs will get caught up in the electricity of this piece.
Close Your Eyes
and See – Shawnee A 7979 See the Music A very reflective worship song: “Close
your eyes and see God’s glory. Close your lips, speak with your heart.
Bring your soul quiet and open. This where God’s work will start.”
Come All Believers -
Exaltation 10/3465L See the Music
Come and Rejoice - Glorysound A 7492 This bright energetic song beckons all creation to join as we sing and praise the Lord. Much of the piece is light (unison and 2 part) in texture to propel the bright driving rhythm. The running eighth notes of the piano provide an energetic accompaniment to match. The text was based on a song of David, found in I Chronicles 16:23-36, which was delivered before the Ark of the Covenant. This joyous anthem would serve well as a call to worship or to add to a special celebration.
Come Emmanuel! –
Lorenz 10/4173L (SAB:
10/4174) view From
vibrant anticipation to a dramatic call, this is a fresh way to begin
Advent. My favorite part is the surprise
ending. From my new cantata, Lead Me Back to Bethlehem.
Come to Me, Stay with
Me, –
Come to the Water - Alfred SATB: 19935 See the Music Mp3 Audio 2 part: 19936
Comfort and Joy – Alfred 26462 (2 pt: 26463)
Creator of It All - Hal Leonard
Creator Rhythm -
Monarch 10/3438M See the Music HIGH on the cool factor. With an African beat, the music
and text focuses on the touch of creation that in all of nature and in every
human heart. Listen for the rainstorm in the middle verse.
Crossing Over
There – Hope C 5410 An optimistic song
of yearning for the joys of heaven. (rhythm:C 5410R and rehearsal/accomp CD:
C5410C)
Deep Waters - Beckenhorst BP1636 Designed to involve the congregation, this a cappella anthem tells the story of Jesus telling the disciples to go out to DEEP waters to fish. The piece serves to call the church to take risks in doing the ministry of Christ. "Go to deep waters, where only faith will let you go... harvests of faith will overflow. Since the chorus is easily memorized, it can be used as a processional / reccessional.
Do This and Remember Me - Glorysound This first appeared in ONCE UPON A TREE. Approaches the Lord’s Supper as Jesus’ farewell to his disciples.
Down to the Water to Pray – Glorysound A 7681
Draw Us Together - Glorysound A 7593 Written in a light 3/4 Gospel style, the piece is a prayer for church unity. "How can we share the Gospel of peace if peace doesn't live in our hearts?"
Easter Morning,
Easter Day – Hal Leonard
Emerald Gates, The - Monarch 10/3348M See the music. One of my LOWEST sellers, but I love it! It’s an arrangement of a Sacred Harp hymn that just screams straight out of the hymnal.
Everlasting Arms, The - Glorysound This simple (very popular anthem has a country feel. See who is the last one to remember NOT to sing on the rest!
Everybody Needs Love
–
Faith to Face - Glorysound
Fall on Your Knees – Lorenz 10/4105L (SAB: 10/4151L) From the bestselling cantata, Night of the Father’s Love. I set out just to try to make it as gorgeous as I could manage. Very powerful!
Family of Faith - Lorenz 10/1657M view a sample | Many of our churches need to live more as a family, or maybe less like a family. This commissioned piece would be good for an anniversary or homecoming. Some churches have used it for family emphasis.

CD and brass parts avail.
Father Forgive Them - Flammer A 7082 See the Music
Feast of the Lord – Glorysound (view score) Many times we like to do communion in a celebratory way. The anthem has a broad folk feel with a 6/8 meter. Very smooth, yet sparkling and joyous.
Fill-a-Me-Up - Lorenz 10/2807M (SAB with optional Spanish text: 10/3439M) This has an African/spiritual feel and includes optional percussion that really makes it cook. This has already received a great response in reading sessions. Performance/Accomp CD: 99/1717M
For the Beauty of the Earth - Glorysound This uses the orignal tune with a contrasting “B” section. The anthem has a very pastoral mood as the accompaniment flows with smooth triplets. From the recording, “Psalms of the Wood”.
Gather by
the River to Pray – Lorenz 10/4047L view
“Down to the River to Pray” is partnered with “Shall We
Gather at the River” for a great piece for baptism or when celebrating
our future life in heaven.
Give Me a Song - Alfred 11537 This was one of the most significant musical experiences I've had. It was written to honor a couple who had served their church's music ministry. Three days before their recognition service, the woman died suddenly and the song was premiered instead at her funeral. The text was so appropriate as it spoke of giving our lives to the praise and worship of God.
Give Us a Vision - Monarch 10/1149P
Give Us Peace - Glorysound A 7311 from PSALMS OF THE WOOD. (Click title to for text and recording.)

Hear Your People Singing - Alfred 17933 See the Music "Hear your people singing, 'We thank you'".The choir teaches this line to the congregation who sings it in response.This song has a reverent chorus feel. It would be especially useful in a church that wishes to incorporate contemporary elements. There are FOUR options for texts: general, communion, thanksgiving and Pentecost. With this flexibility, your congregation could sing it at many times during the year.
Heavens

Heaven’s
Choir – Lorenz 10/3867
Heaven's Song Glorysound A 7245 See the Music SSAA recording This is from my choral album entitled, PSALMS OF THE WOOD. It is a collection of my choral music accompanied by folk instruments and keyboards. Often, I hear people talk about a need for greater spirituality; to really feel connected to God. This is true even in the secular realm, for there is much discussion about spirituality. “Heaven’s Song” expresses that need in every human heart.

How Beautiful Your Name - Glorysound A7030 See the Music One of my favorite oldies. A smooth and meditative worship chorus.
How Long? - Lorenz
10/4172L One of the
most asked questions of faith. The verses begin, “How long
‘til this world is free from suffering?” “Press on, let faith
and hope sustain you.” “Send me until the
love of heaven will descend and peace will reign
again.” Perfect
for the tenth anniversary of 9/11.

community) 15/2035H
I'm Gonna Sing All the Way to Heaven - Glorysound A 7370 I haven't written much in the "gospel quartet" style, but this idea popped into my head on my way from work one day. The choir sings about hope through the struggles as it rehearses for the ultimate choir in heaven.

In the Hands of the Lord - Glorysound A 7496 With its opening lines, “See the hands, see the face, see the miracle of God’s grace,” this tender anthem dedicates the gift of our children to the Lord. I had the words printed on the front cover to make it suitable for a momento of the occassion. Click here for to see the complete text.

to my marking, but I ended up taking it faster with my choir.
Lord Work a Miracle - Glorysound A 7111 See the Music My pastor was preaching on Jesus turning water into wine and wanted me to find a song to fit the theme. After looking, I gave up and wrote a solo song which became a choir arrangement. It talks about some of the miracles of Jesus then focuses on the ultimate miracle of grace. It is very reflective with a very powerful "B section". By the way, pianists really like this one.

O Breath of Life - Evergreen See the Music This is a live recording of the NC Singers. I really enjoyed setting this beautiful hymn text. It has a smooth, dramatic flow for the most part with a big climax on the text, "Revive us, Lord..." It would be great for a service of renewal with worship themes concerning the Holy Spirit. The piano part is very artful and seeks to give a feeling of breath and flow. People have really responded to this one in reading sessions.
Once Upon a Night - Flammer A 7132 With its sense of intimacy and rich harmonies, this would be a great piece to include in a Christmas musical, perhaps as the title song. This could be done very effectively with guitar and flute accompaniment.

Simeon’s Blessing - Glorysound A 7298 See the Music I wrote this piece to present on Sundays after Christmas. It always seems abrupt when we suddenly stop singing Christmas music.

Yes Lord - Glorysound This is a high energy, contemporary gospel number. "Yes is our answer. What's your question gonna be?" Our pastor told the story of visiting a church in which the pastor came to the pulpit and started praying over and over, "Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord." The congregation began singing the same phrase with their own improvised tunes. After a bit, the pastor motioned for the singing to cease and then said, "Lord, that is our answer, now what is your question?" I fashioned this chorus and had the congregation sing it at the end of that service. The verses include the stories of Samuel and Jesus' disciples who said "yes" to the Lord.
You Are
Forever God - Lorenz 3709L
You Are
Lord - Lorenz 10/1283P This now appears in
my Christmas cantata, Lead Me
Back to Bethlehem. It is a very
straightforward, heartfelt anthem of praise.
You Are the Christ – Hinshaw HMC2180A view
sample (Brass/handbells: HMC2180A)
You
Are the Salt and Light – Shawnee/Hal
Leonard #HL 35027232 view Smooth with
organ chimes or handbells. I
didn’t think about the pairing of the title and my name until I had
finished the piece.
You Supply My Every Breath – Lorenz 2906M (See the music) This has a cool jazz feel which matched the sense of comfort and gratitude I felt as I wrote this piece. Though it is a humble tribute of praise and thanksgiving, it also reminds those who are suffering that God is "there through every test".
You’re
Always There - Lorenz
10/3293M See the
music. A dynamic 6/8 praise and worship anthem.
