“What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear. What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer.” The traditional hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” has been a classic bringing peace and comfort to people of all ages.

The traditional hymn “Alleluia” means “Praise the Lord” and has been a classic for decades. As you play this song on the piano for church or personal worship, let your heart rise to Jesus in worship, adoration, and love.

Another key aspect of the worship of heaven is the centrality of thanksgiving.  Recently I was challenged to have a spirit of thankfulness in all things.  As a result, I decided to study the Scriptures on the topic and was amazed by what I found.

"You’re all I want. You’re all I’ve ever needed. Help me know You are near." The modern praise song “Draw Me Close” reflects the longing of our hearts for Jesus and His presence. As you play this song for church or personal worship, let it express your heart’s cry to know Him more.

The greatest privilege is to know God and be His friend.  Far above fulfilling any calling, purpose, or achievement, we desire to know Him… to sit in His heart, to be trusted, and to discover how our lives can minister to Him.  We see this same heart cry throughout the Scripture, but perhaps most notably in the life of Moses.

"My beloved is the most beautiful among thousands." The song “Yeshua” speaks of the beauty and majesty of Jesus. Let your heart rise in worship as you play this beautiful song for church or personal worship.

Worship is one of the most intimate expressions of love between us and Jesus.  As we worship, we come face to face with God, as we were created to do; and as we behold His face, our hearts erupt in continual worship.

"Lord, You are more precious than silver. Lord, You are more costly than gold. Lord, You are more beautiful than diamonds, and nothing I desire compares with You." This beautiful worship chorus reminds us that Jesus is the treasure and the prize.

Let's be honest... sometimes we just don't feel like worshipping. We know we should, and we know it is our "one heart and one purpose" (Jer. 32:39), but often our hearts just aren't feeling it. Recently I was pondering this reality and asking the Lord what it is that positions our hearts in the place of truly desiring to worship.

“The Heart of Worship” is a timeless anthem drawing us back to what really matters - not performance or show - but the true heart of worship and devotion to Jesus.

In order to worship Jesus “in spirit and in truth,” we have to know Him. The problem is that many people today don’t know Him. What does He like? What does He dislike? What are His ways? What is on His heart in this moment? Beyond simply speaking of Him in words, how can our hearts truly know Him?

“Worthy of It All” is a classic worship song declaring the beauty of Jesus and inviting us into the endless worship of heaven.

Worship must begin in what the Scriptures call "the secret place" (Matt. 6:6), with just you and the Lord. You will never be able to lead others into worship in a corporate setting until you can worship alone when no one is watching. You will never be able to worship at your instrument until you can first worship without it. So how do we worship Jesus alone in the secret place? Psalm 46:10 gives us the key: “Be still and know that I am God.”

"O Praise the Name” is a timeless worship song speaking of the love of Jesus in His death, burial, resurrection, and future return.

A scale in music includes all of the notes in a key. For example, in the key of C major, which has no sharps or flats, the scale is C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C. Learning all of the major scales on the piano will allow you to play fluently in any key.

What happens when we worship? Are we simply singing songs in our living room, or is our personal worship a part of something far bigger, far more eternal? Throughout history, the Scriptures and the church have always seen worship as the coming together of heaven and earth.

Welcome to the piano! As you begin to learn the basics of the keyboard, you will first want to memorize the name of each key. You will notice that the piano keyboard has black and white keys, and the black keys appear in groups of 2 and 3.

In this life, there will be times when we go through hardship and pain. We pray for healing but our loved one dies. We are in pain and the doctors cannot figure out why. We deal with trauma and loss, face financial difficulties, or simply have too much to do in a day. When we face these hard times, we naturally want answers – we want to know why this is happening to us.
