Standing on the Promises is now available!   I had a hard time settling on the ending so….I shared two endings!

Both the original (early advanced) and simplified version (late intermediate) are included. Two for the price of one!

Since there wasn’t a lot of changes….I just included the simple version with the original.

Have fun deciding which version you like 🙂

Standing on the Promises

Sacred Piano Solo: Standing on the Promises. Two Versions included. Original (early advanced) Slightly simplified version (late intermediate) Three pages per arrangement (Total of 6 pages) I prefer the original version but the simplified version applies to the bottom of page two through page three. (Less sixteenth note octaves)

Price: $4.00

I’m adding the final touches to “Standing on the Promises” early advanced piano arrangement!

The arrangement consists of a brief intro, two verses, two choruses and a short ending with a steep climb up the keyboard!

The ending of this piece sounds different than anything I’ve ever done but just seems to fit.

I hope to publish Standing on the Promises by September 4th.

Practicing…..see you at 8pm EST this evening….

I just published a late intermediate level piano solo of “I Need Thee Every Hour with the chorus of Close to Thee.

The words to both hymns remind me to have total dependence on God.

I Need Thee Medley

Late intermediate sacred piano solo arranged by Jenifer Cook. Four pages in length. 2:30 approx. length

Price: $4.30

I’ve always enjoyed pairing I Need Thee with the chorus of Close to Thee.

What a reminder for us all…a call of total dependence on God!

Our God is gracious and tender!  He wants us to call on Him.

I pray you have all called on God to be your Savior.

I could not imagine life without Him!

When I got saved at the age of 29…the lyrics of the hymns took on a whole new meaning.

Here’s a sample of the first page for I Need Thee Every Hour Medley…

Wow!  This arrangement of Make Me a Blessing  was literally a handful to write …but fun too!

Have you ever thought about the mood of verse one?  The lyrics are on the sad side for the first part of the first verse.

So, I began in a minor key and then transitioned to Major key as the words depicted.

You need long fingers to reach some of the chords….especially the tenth chord in the left hand on the third page.

No worries…it’s a “rolled” chord 😉

Take a listen to see if this arrangement is fit for your comfort 😉

Make Me a Blessing

Very advanced sacred piano solo arranged by Jenifer Cook. Contains: intro, verse, chorus, 2nd verse and chorus with ending. Began in C minor and then to C Major, D Major and F Major! Approx. length 2:45

Price: $4.50

Final touches have been added to the sheet music for Make Me a Blessing (very advanced piano solo).

This is a four page arrangement.  I  began in c minor to match the mood of the text and then when the text grows brighter….and soars into C Major!

Here’s a peek at page three….(please excuse the misaligned left hand note in the first measure).

This is a rough draft 🙂   Not much left to finalize the entire piece.

My playlist of ten hymns will be taken from the old “Broadman Hymnal”. (pictured below)

There will be a mystery hymn in my playlist.  I tried to make it a little easier to guess this time…hopefully 😉

I will publish my list of hymns tomorrow morning.   Looking forward to playing tomorrow evening at 8pm EST.

One of my readers asked if I had an arrangement for “It is Better Farther On”.

I told her I had never heard of this hymn.

She told me it was an old hymn.

So, I did an online search to hear the hymn for myself.

WHAT a pleasant surprise!  I REALLY like this old hymn!

The second and third verse are my favorites.  Verse two goes like this:

When my faith took hold on Jesus, Light divine within me shone.                       

And I know since that glad moment, “It is better farther on”.

I have plunged into the fountain, Flowing free for everyone; 

I am saved and Hope is singing, “It is better farther on.”

I’m providing a FREE simple piano arrangement of this old hymn “It is Better Farther On”. Click on the following link.
