“Christian musicians know of the obligation to make music as agents of God’s grace. They make music graciously, whatever its kind or style, as ambassadors of Christ, showing love, humility, servant hood, meekness, victory, and good example . . .

By gatekeeper316 • Feb 17, 2010
Word has put out an updated version of Gaither’s “Then He Bowed His Head and Died”. A very powerful tenor solo that ends with a dynamic choir tag. It’s not really appropriate for an Easter cantata, but makes a great octavo for around the Easter season.

By gatekeeper316 • Jan 27, 2010
I recommend the octavo “When His Presence Fills This Place” by Collins and LaBar from LifeWay. We sang the song during a series on the tabernacle and it was very fitting. The song is a ballad that has a beautiful soprano solo with a great build to the end.
