“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 🙂
Advanced sacred piano solo, 4 pgs.
A majestic entrance to this arrangement opens up to the chorus and then goes into a verse with a final chorus. At least a half dozen runs are included in this exciting arrangement!
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.
Silent Night Christmas early advanced piano solo, 4 pgs.
The scene: A peaceful quiet night in Bethlehem unfolds in this lovely rendition of Silent Night. Price: $4.25
Once you click the above link this evening….just scroll down the page until you see me playing with the following icon in upper left hand corner of screen.
I just published a volume of ten Early elementary level sacred piano solos originally written for my students to play for congregational singing.
I have up to three students playing along with me in church now whenever they can! We use these arrangements for offertories and preludes too!
Keep in mind….these arrangements can only work for congregational singing IF the student’s keyboard or piano can be transposed to match the key of the lead pianist.
My students are LOVING playing in church in a group setting. They’re actually progressing much faster!
Early Elementary Sacred Piano Volume One Volume One: Nine Early Elementary Sacred Piano Solos plus one two piano arrangement. (10 songs total)
I wrote these arrangements for my piano students to play for congregational singing but can be used for offertories too! Tip: Works great for piano ensemble playing too 🙂 * I usually have at least two students playing these arrangements for congregational singing or for offertory in addition to me playing along. Each arrangement includes suggested fingering & lyrics. Price: $12.00

Here is an early advanced arrangement of “Crown Him with Many Crowns”.
I consider this one of my home-spun arrangements straight from the heart.
This is the style I like writing the best!
I will probably play this piece for Thanksgiving service at our church.
Crown Him (early advanced) Early advanced sacred piano solo, 2 & 1/2 pgs.
Contains: intro, one verse, two choruses and an ending
Key: C Major
This would make a nice Thanksgiving day selection or any other time of year. Price: $3.50
As a church pianist…I’m extra grateful for my parent’s influence on my life by providing me with a rich heritage of godly music.
My Dad turned 84 today and still singing for God’s glory.
Just thought I’d share a family video of him singing a couple of years ago with a long time family friend, Jerry Baker. Jerry Baker and his wife Linda, were missionaries in Christian broadcasting for a number of years.
