The Seven Last Words of Christ

This post contains music of a different genre than typically posted here; however, I know many of you are familiar with this work and will appreciate and/ or reminisce on it.

I am so appreciative of Mr. Dubois’ portrayal of Christ’s atoning sacrifice for our sins.

One of the phrase of this music that sticks with me is the quote of “He is death, guilty. He is death, guilty.” Wow! People whom Christ LOVED were throwing those accusations at Him.

Behold, Behold Rev. 3:20

A Bible verse put to song:

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.”   -Revelation 3:20

This is a fun, peppy song, expressing well the truth of the Bible verse.

It works well as a song for Jr. Church/Children’s church/Sunday school time.

Bible Verses Put to Music: Blessed Is the Man

I love this song and the truth contained therein (and likewise the passage from whence it comes).  It’s great!

This would work great for youth group, children’s choir, adult choir, and congregational.

Blessed is the man that walketh not

in the counsel of the ungodly,

nor standeth in the way of sinners,

nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD;

and in His law doth he meditate day and night.

(Psalm 1:1-2)
