I tried to capture “note for note” how I play this particular hymn “God Will Take Care of You.”
What a fitting hymn in our day and age!
This has been the hardest arrangement for me to write but worth feeling my way through as I sing the words to this beautiful hymn!
It took me at least four days to learn page 4! I say this so church pianists will realize this hymn arrangement is very advanced.
Watching the video will help you with the interpretation of this sacred piano arrangement.
The interesting story behind this hymn is also included in the video below.
I’ll be playing a handful of John W Peterson songs in addition to a new advanced arrangement of God Will Take Care of You.
I plan to publish God Will Take Care of You by this Saturday. Speaking of comforting hymns…WHAT a comforting hymn! The words and melody are SO soothing. Once you hear the story behind this hymn written in 1904….the hymn will mean even more to you! From the mouth of a young one this hymn was born!
Please join me for an evening of music around the piano. Wish you all could be here in person so we could hear everyone sing together!
See the playlist below for tonight’s list of Comforting Hymns for June 17, 2021 at 8pm EST. Grab your hymnals so you can sing along!

WHAT a rich text for the hymn O Sacred Head Now Wounded!
The writer truly depicted his overwhelming devotion and love to Christ for His sacrifice
It’s not a song you hear often but carries a message we need to hear every day!
May God bless you through this poignant hymn of Christ’s death and saving grace!
“Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”…an excellent reminder to focus on Jesus as we travel through this earthly life.
As I grow older…the words to these old hymns become even more meaningful.
Here’s a homespun hymn arrangement of “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.” I just played from my heart and tried to replicate via paper 😉
I especially love the last verse:
“His Word shall not fail you_HE PROMISED 🙂
Believe Him and all will be well.
Then go to a world that is dying, His perfect salvation to tell!
This arrangement is VERY advanced due to at least a half dozen runs…measure #42 contains a run I’ve never used or seen before…but it just seemed to fit.
I will admit it’s the hardest run for me to play in this arrangement. But…with practice it can happen 🙂
I know I’m quite late with this arrangement of Silent Night…but had to pen to paper my spontaneous version I played last week during facebook live.
