Offertory for Sunday – How Great Thou Art

Words cannot do justice to describe a song such as “How Great Thou Art!”  It is a song often listed as a favorite by individuals of all walks of life.  It is adored because of the admiration given to our great God.  The words truly speak to our hearts and magnify our Savior.

The following piece is a solo piano work arranged by James Koerts.  Personally, I view it as one of my favorite arrangements of this piece.  It clearly communicates the words and portrays the grandeur of our God.  Additionally, I like how the ending seems to reiterate the words “how great Thou art,” providing that final reflection on truly how great God is!  It is a magnificent piece!

Sunday’s offertory – Send the Light

Here is a phenomenal offertory!  My church appreciates this so much.  I enjoy the message of the song.  It works well as a regular offertory, yet can also be used during mission’s conference as well.  It is well-written and musically-designed.  You will appreciate it greatly.

Offertory for Sunday

This piece is a nice arrangement.  Additionally, it can have several uses in your church ministry: offertory, communion song, or calm piece played during service time.

It can be shortened by playing the first two pages and then jumping directly to the last page.  (perfect length offertory for most churches in which I have played)

As also a music teacher, I am always on the lookout for good music sheets that students would enjoy which also teach great technique.  The following two links are such a source.  These have worked well for someone who has already learned some hymns or is advanced enough to read intermediate level hymn arrangements.

Two favorites:

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing – Level 3 (I have had students play the first page through two times.)

It Is Well  – Level 3

 

A special “thank you” to Michael Kravchuk for his work and having these arrangements available on his website.
