MY JESUS, FAIR OCTAVO FOR SALE

Greg Habegger’s stirring octavo of My Jesus, Fair is now available. The arrangement is for SATB and has an optional congregational inclusion for the last verse, which exalts the resurrected Christ, making it ideal for an Easter anthem. An orchestration by Nikki Eoute and Brian Buda is also available (pdf sample here). The arrangement and orchestration can be heard here, a recording of its debut during a live service at Bob Jones University in November 2009.

We appreciate this kind endorsement of the song by Pastor Dave Doran.

Orders can be placed here.

NEW MISSIONS HYMN: FOR THE SAKE OF HIS NAME

For the Sake of His Name is new hymn by Chris Anderson and Greg Habegger, written in honor of the 10th Anniversary of the Student Global Impact National Conference, a ministry of Inter-City Baptist Church which promotes the work of world evangelization to college students from around the country. The hymn, based on  focuses on 3 John 7 and similar passages, emphasizes God’s glory as the primary motivation for evangelism. It debuted at the conference on January 5, 2010. We pray that it will be a “battle cry” for the cause of missions and the glory of God.

THANKSGIVING SERVICE AT BJU

Two ChurchWorksMedia.com hymns were featured in Bob Jones University’s 2009 Thanksgiving Service, Portraits of Praise. Portions of the service (including Greg Habegger’s choral arrangement of My Jesus, Fair and Dan Forrest’s choral arrangement of His Robes for Mine, both with the congregation) can be heard or viewed here. It was overwhelming to hear the orchestra, chorus, and a congregation of some 6000 people lift there voices in praise to our Savior. Grace!

NEW HYMN

Chris Anderson and Molly Ijames (welcome to CWM!) have produced a new hymn focusing on the various cups in the Scriptures—the cup Christ faced in Gethsemane, the cup of soul-satisfying salvation, the cup of the Lord’s Table, and the cup we’ll enjoy with Christ in His coming Kingdom. We believe it will point worshipers Christ-ward. Please give it a look and listen!
