A new melody for the old hymn "Jesus, Priceless Treasure." The original tune was written in the 1600s by J S Bach. It's great, but I think it was written to make drive home a different feeling for the words. With all the natural and unnatural disasters in the last few weeks, I thought it might touch deeper with a melody of perhaps a little more gentle reassurance. Recorded 10/2/17 in my living room. Unedited.

Jesus, priceless Treasure,
Fount of purest pleasure, 
Truest Friend to me.
Ah, how long in anguish
Shall my spirit languish, 
Yearning, Lord, for thee?
Thou art mine, O Lamb divine!
I will suffer naught to hide thee, 
Naught I ask beside thee.

In thine arms I rest me;
Foes who would molest me 
Cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
Ev'ry heart be quaking, 
Jesus calms my fear.
Lightnings flash And thunders crash;
Yet, tho' sin and hell assail me, 
Jesus will not fail me.

Hence, all fear and sadness!
For the Lord of gladness, 
Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father,
Though the storms may gather, 
Still have peace within.
Yea, whate'er I here must bear, 
Thou art still my purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure!

Stricken Smitten Afflicted Idea

"Stand Firm," the theme song written for the 2017-2018 school year at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Greenville, Wisconsin. Lyrics by Julius and Nicole Buelow. Music by Joey Schumann. Performed by Immanuel Lutheran Church and School. This is a live recording from the end-of-school-year service.

V1 (Gen 39, 2 Sam 12)
Temptation around and within
Pulls us away from him,
But Jesus forgives every sin, every sin, 
And draws us back again.

REFRAIN: (1 Cor 15:57-58) 
Stand firm! Don’t move!
The Lord is on your side.
Stand firm! Let nothing move you. 
Work in the Lord.
Your work in the Lord Is not in vain.

V2 (Isa 40:1-2, 1 Cor 15:57-58)
Our hope is in Jesus alone.
His comfort gives us peace.
He conquered death, and the grave, and the stone. 
From sin we are released. 

V3 (Php 1:27, Ps 107:8-9, Ps 33:11)
Our citizenship is in heav’n.
Now what are we to do?
Work hard with the blessings you’re given, that you’re giv’n, 
God has a plan for you.
