Here’s an easy early intermediate sacred piano solo of “Great is Thy Faithfulness”.
This piece was also written for one of my early intermediate students.
I have several students who play in church and are always looking for early intermediate sacred piano solos that don’t take a long time to learn 😉
Church pianists are busy people! Always practicing with choir or other vocal specials…so it’s nice to have an arrangement that the pianist can learn in a reasonable amount of time.
I originally wrote this arrangement for one of my piano students and then forgot about it. This arrangement of “Lead Me to Calvary”makes an excellent choice for the Lord’s supper, Lent, offertory or another devotional time in your service.
I wrote this ladies’ trio arrangement of “The Love of God” back in 2011. My younger son’s brother-in-laws sang it for his wedding.
So… I guess ladies or men can sing this one 🙂
Recently, I came across a sampling of the following video on face book…shared by the president of Ambassador Baptist College.
They were generous to supply me with the entire video which I’m sharing below. The ladies from the college did an excellent job! (So did the pianist) 🙂

I’m making another one of my sacred piano arrangements, “He Hideth My Soul” from the “Funeral Collection” available as a single arrangement.
At least several of my sacred piano solos from my “Funeral Collection” are sold separately.
Recently while on vacation, I recorded four more songs from my Funeral Collection: He Hideth My Soul, Sweet by and by Medley, Trusting Jesus Medley and Wonderful Peace.
Late intermediate sacred piano solo, 4 pgs. Approx. length: 1:38
*Available here as a single arrangement and also in the Funeral Collection. Please note: the last line of the last page is applicable ONLY when playing from the Funeral Collection because it includes the key change to the next song in the Funeral Collection.
I plan to do an outside recording real soon….of my new wedding song “Hearts Forever Joined”….weather permitting.  I think it’s going to become an annual tradition for me to record a song outdoors while vacationing 🙂
Publication date is set for this Monday! Stay tuned 🙂
Just to alert my beginner church pianists…I published two beginner sacred piano solos this week.
The titles: Near the Cross and No Not One.  I wrote these pieces for my students. My younger students have really enjoyed playing No Not One. The older beginner students like Near the Cross.
Both pieces contain suggested fingering for the beginner to late beginner student.
I loved writing this arrangement because I wrote how I felt like expressing it at the time. When I try to structure my pieces…it sometimes stifles my creativity.
But….structure is also good because it makes the piece more playable…without awkward leaps and such.
I have SO many favorite hymns and “There is a Fountain” is on that list!
I tried to depict an overflowing fountain in the beginning and ended with a different twist…still sounding as a fountain.
This piece is geared to the early to moderately advanced church pianist. The entire arrangement stays in the key of C but contains a lot of full chords.
I was able to adapt When I Survey Ensemble to a two piano arrangement. I know not every church has three pianos in addition to flute and clarinet but hope this arrangement of When I Survey will be more feasible for the church pianist(s).
We have two pianos (one grand plus one digital piano) at our church on opposite ends of the stage. I’m going to add strings and have one of our pianists play the digital for the strings. I’m bringing in two… 76 key keyboards and placing them facing me at the grand piano. The flutes and clarinet will play from the front pew facing the pianos. I have found it easier to stay together when positioning the instruments as close as possible to each other with the pianists facing each or maybe side view (depending on the space) in order to see each other’s movements for unified playing.
I’m sharing a “buy it now” and preview of the two piano version below. Click on the image to view a sample page from each piano part.
