While playing Leaning on the Everlasting Arms for congregational this morning…the thought occurred to me to share one of my fill-in ideas I usually use for the last chorus. This particular hymn needs lots of dress-up to bring it to life!

Some of you pianists may not like “going off the grid” so the first line is for you. The second line is for those who like to venture out in space 😉

Hope all of you are having a wonderful Sunday worshiping the Lord with your church family.

The following example is taken from the first line of the chorus.

I’m always looking for easy arrangements for men’s ensemble or choir.  Our choir has short practices due to many members travelling long distance to church.  Therefore, we try to use two to three part arrangements…depending on who’s available to sing.

Several of our young men recently formed a singing group.  They learned an easy two part arrangement of “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”.  I think they practiced only three times due to time and distance factors.  I thought they did real well for a first time together!

I’m sharing a youtube video of the men’s ensemble  so you can hear how the arrangement turned out.

This two part men’s arrangement is available for purchase at the following link:
