The Spirit and the Bride

This song by Matt Maher talks about the Lord’s great love and how we can always find refuge in Him. It is well suited to be sung during praise and worship sessions or during a gospel rock concert.

Here are the lyrics:

The Spirit and the Bride

For all the thirsty in need of the river
For all the sleeping hearts waking from their slumber
For everyone still standing at the shoreline, come

For all the hurting souls running from their healer
For all the skeptics running from an answer
Let everyone who hears these words say come

For the Spirit and the Bride say come
Yeah, the Spirit and the Bride say come

For all the Pharisees, empty on the inside
For all the lovers who spent their love on a lie
For the forgotten, the Father's heart says come

For all the fatherless looking for approval
For all the daughters who've never heard they're beautiful
Let everyone who hears these words say come

For the Spirit and the Bride say come
Yeah, the Spirit and the Bride say come
For the Spirit and the Bride say come
Yeah, the Spirit and the Bride say come

Amen, amen
Come, Lord Jesus, come again
Until then, until then
Grace and peace be ours, amen
Amen, amen
Come, Lord Jesus, come again
Until then, until then
Grace and peace be ours, amen
Till You come again
Peace be ours, amen
Till You come again
Till You come again

For the Spirit and the Bride say come
Yeah, the Spirit and the Bride say come
For the Spirit and the Bride say come
Yeah, the Spirit and the Bride say come

You Are My All In All


This hymn is another favourite of mine. I remember there was a time when we sang this at each and every wedding.. in voices. We truly enjoyed singing this hymn so much!
Infact, I distinctly remember this being one of the first hymns I was keen on teaching my kids from the choir. So one fine Saturday morning, I was all determined to write the music for this hymn, and that is exactly what I did. They picked it up quickly, and sing it beautifully.. giving it their all. I guess it's become one of the favourites as well  :)
Thank you , Dennis Jernigan for this wonderful melody.

A lot of kids from the choir asked me for a copy of the music for the hymn. So thought of sharing it with you all as well. Hoping it will be of some help to you. 
It's written for the organ in a simple scale. Do give it a try and leave me some feedback. :)

You could use the lyrics as a ready reference, and give it a listen by clicking the Play button on the embedded youtube video. 
I've also attached the piano score for this hymn. It is quite an easy arrangement, provided you are quite comfortable playing with both your hands. 

You can download the score as a pdf attachment by clicking here.



Here are the lyrics to the hymn :

You Are My All In All


You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all

Seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool
You are my all in all

Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name

Taking my sin, my cross, my shame
Rising again I bless Your name
You are my all in all

When I fall down You pick me up
When I am dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all

Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name

Here's a preview of the sheet music for the hymn. Additionally, I've also uploaded  a printer-friendly PDF version below.
You are my all in all

Suggestions  : You could sing this hymn during communion. It would be ideal if you have a soloist do the verses, with the choir joining in for the chorus. 
Someday, when time permits I'll add a two voice arrangement for the same. :)
    



I hope you found this post useful. I would love to hear from you. If there are any hymns from the catalogue or otherwise, that you need the music for, feel  free to get in touch. I'd be more than happy to help a fellow musician :)
