Steve Pelischek and I did a cover of Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. Steve's singing lead and I'm on the piano. Enjoy!

Landslide

A song based on Philippians 4:13.
St. John's, a Lutheran grade school in Redwood Falls, MN, chose Philippians 4:13 as their theme for the year. They wanted a song based on that verse, so I wrote one for them.

"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."

Philippians 4:13

Had a little extra free time on Thanksgiving.
Too many blessings to count.

Now Thank We All Our God

"Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted" is one of those beautiful hymns that you maybe only sing a few times a year, but it deserves to be heard more often than that. When you picture Jesus on the cross, you see the that your sin is no small thing. Sin is destructive, but Jesus brings forgiveness and restoration. What a Savior!

Stricken, Smitten, And Afflicted

This hymn is probably my favorite version of Psalm 23 (one of the verses is also based on Luke 15). We played a similar version of this hymn with Fide, so you could say this is a cover of a cover. Credit especially to Peter Schlicht, who originally wrote the cool guitar melody introduction. He plays it much better than I do. Sorry for the messy quality. It's the first of my "Narthex Sessions." Enjoy!

The King Of Love My Shepherd Is

Lullaby

I found this old recording on my computer from my MLC days. Jarrod Pfarr is the silky smooth voice you hear on melody and some harmony. We sang this for preservice at an evening chapel service, I believe. Enjoy!

Speak O Savior, I Am Listening

This might be my favorite Christmas/Advent Hymn

O Come O Come Emmanuel

The only way we love is by seeing his love first. The love and suffering of Jesus fuels ours.

O Dearest Lord, Thy Sacred Head

Here's an odd little arrangement of Glory be to Jesus. It's a bit somber, and at times, it feels like the words & the feel of the song are at odds. But I suppose that's kind of what it's like to look at what Jesus did. It's really sad and terrible, but it's also the most love-filled, life-changing, joy-bringing event in history.

Glory Be To Jesus

This is a song all about how Jesus is King and his kingdom will never end. As I was reading through the book of Daniel, I found this phrase that repeats at least 4 times in the book, spoken by different people. I had never noticed it before. And each time it's something like "God's kingdom is an everlasting kingdom" or "God's dominion will never end." It's a fascinating thing to hear in the book of Daniel, because throughout the book, kings rise and fall, and regimes change. This constant refrain about God's everlasting kingdom stands in stark contrast to the changing kingdoms during Daniel's life. Even in the face of great difficulty, pain, and confusion, God is still king. He was in Daniel's time. He was, even while Jesus was suffering on the cross, and he is today. His kingdom reigns forever.

Forever (His Kingdom Reigns)

Just a little acoustic cover of Katy Perry's Firework. 

Firework

"What Wondrous Love is This."
When Jesus gave his life and died for us on the cross, it was the biggest display of love ever shown. He loves the loveless and has paid the price for all sins of all time. What an amazing thing...that I'm going to heaven just because Jesus' love is so huge. That is what this song is all about. God's love for sinners is truly wonderful. It deserves to be sung about and to be shouted from the rooftops. I hope you enjoy it.
