Songs for the Lord: A Book of Twenty-Four Original Songs in a Mix of Traditional and Contemporary Styles [Kindle Edition]

   * * *   * * *   * * *

Important note: This book was retired in 2019. Updated versions of selected songs appear with full musical settings in the new collection, Now Sings My Soul: New Songs for the Lord.
The book information and related resources for Songs for the Lord will remain on this website for the benefit of those who bought the book (thank you!). Sadly, removing Songs for the Lord from my Amazon listings meant losing the wonderful reviews posted there by readers. Hopefully readers and musicians who appreciate the hymns and songs in Now Sings My Soul will be moved to post equally enthusiastic reviews.

This is a small collection of my earliest songs. All have melodies as well as lyrics written by yours truly. Some of the 24 songs are specifically Christian in content. All express faith in the Lord God.

The range of traditional and contemporary styles includes:

• Hand-clapping gospel
• Intimate prayer songs
• Congregational hymns
• Musical sermons
• Humorous material for a troubadour-style performer

Each song features:

• Score
