Have you ever wondered what to play for a funeral or how loud or soft to play?  Watch this video for tips on playing for a funeral at your own church.

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.

God Will Take Care of You

Very advanced sacred piano solo, 4 pgs. This is one of the most difficult arrangements Jenifer has written. Page four is a challenge but worth learning! Hear Jenifer play this arrangement on the video below as well as the story behind this comforting hymn.

Price: $4.95

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!
