HIGH KING OF HEAVEN
The classic hymn, "Be Thou My
Vision," has always seemed like ancient praise &
worship to me, with a text that's as relevant and meaningful
today as it was generations ago. And so, here's a fresh and new
melody for that lyric which I'm hoping captures the very heart
of this timeless expression. It's quickly accessible for choirs
of all sizes, and features an optional cello part.

A THOUSAND HALLELUJAHS
Phil Wickham and Brook and Scott
Ligertwood's popular worship song has been arranged and
orchestrated by Marty Parks in a graceful and timeless
anthem. Gentle unison, 2-part, and 4-part writing is
featured throughout. The middle section builds gradually
and seamlessly into the hymn, "O for a Thousand Tongues to
Sing". Following the hymn, a modulation lifts the
arrangement into a triumphant declaration of praise.

WONDERFUL, MERCIFUL SAVIOR
There are some modern worship
songs that just stand the test of time and have, in a sense,
become classics themselves. This is one of them. I love
everything about this song and have since the very first time I
heard it. I'm thrilled to be able to offer it now to you.

COME HOLY SPIRIT FILL US
Here's a piece that's
especially appropriate for Pentecost Sunday, or for any worship
service that focuses on the Holy Spirit. It's a prayer for
peace, as well as for the power that fell on believers that very
first Pentecost. It was a real joy to work with Jan McGuire's
sensitive and poignant lyric.

IN THE SHADOW OF
YOUR WINGS
I love the imagery we find in
so many of the Psalms, and that was the inspiration behind
this anthem. In a bright "2" feel, it's an affirmation of where
our assurance and hope really lie. The optional solo gives it
just the right amount of variation.
