Following some friends in Australia (see link below) I thought I would see what others are learning or playing frequently at the moment in their local churches.

1. My Soul finds rest in God Alone
2. We rest on thee
I’ve put this one down, simply because I think it is one of the best written hymns ever, the words are awesome but the music is stirring to the core. The clip below is just an instrumental but I think you will understand the ‘stirring-ness’ of this Sibelius classic when you listen.
3. My Jesus I love thee
I’ve not done this one at church yet, but it certainly is in my top 5 ‘songs to die to’!
4. See what a morning
Been doing this recently at the pace in the clip, it gives it a real a real energy and the words are crackalacking!
5. Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is going to be introduced at the two churches I work at over the next few weeks, without the dancing middle aged, over-enthusiastic bloke (see clip below and you will understand – he is great really!).
Where is ‘Nothing but the Blood’ published – either piano score or lyrics and chords?
Arrangement by Michael Morrow – music and sheet music from EMU music…

Thanks Andy – duly ordered. We’ll enjoy learning that in the new year
