Peace on earth. Has there ever been such a thing – will there ever be? Wars and rumors of wars are the mile markers of history. Wars seem to be the events by which history is recorded. Did you ever hear of World Peace I or World Peace II – or the years of Civil Peace? Did the Holy Scriptures really promise Peace On Earth? Did an angel from heaven really proclaim “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased!" ? (Luke 2:14) The answer is…YES!
Butwhatabout…? – Butwhatabout…? – Butwhatabout…?

We could spend most of our lives filling in these blanks. However – if we take the cognizant, courageous leap of faith – if we choose to believe God’s Word is true – then we must refine our understanding of peace. Jesus said – “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27

Jesus knows about peace – He is indeed the Prince of Peace. How then can we define peace…? Peace is not the absence of conflict – Peace is the presence of God.

God made His presence known in a spectacular, miraculous way long ago in the ancient city of Bethlehem. His presence remains just as real – just as powerful – just as loving.

Thanks be to God for His tender mercy and all sufficient grace. May we be instruments used of God to live out and reach others with the good news. Glory to God in the highest! There Is Peace in the World Tonight.

"Because He Lives," with its enduring power and resonance, bears the remarkable imprint of creative minds and souls. The poignant lyrics were penned by Gloria Gaither, a gifted songwriter, while the captivating music was composed by William J. Gaither, a maestro of melodies.

However, it is Lloyd Larson, a revered composer and arranger, who created something new and special into this cherished piece by expertly arranging it for SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, and bass) choirs.

In this musical collaboration, the profound poetry of Gloria Gaither finds its perfect melodic match in the compositions of William J. Gaither. Together, they crafted a masterpiece that speaks to the depths of our souls, capturing the essence of the Easter story and the triumph of Christ's resurrection.

Lloyd Larson's arrangement for SATB choirs takes this timeless hymn to new heights, enriching its harmonies and dynamics. Through his expertise, the choir's voices seamlessly blend and intertwine, creating a tapestry of sound that amplifies the hymn's message of victory and promise.

Larson's meticulous attention to detail, combined with his profound understanding of choral music, allows the beauty and significance of "Because He Lives" to shine through. With his arrangement, he masterfully captures the essence of the original composition while adding new dimensions of depth and expression.
As SATB choirs come together, guided by Larson's arrangement, their voices become instruments of praise, harmonizing in perfect unity. The soaring sopranos, the warm embrace of the altos, the steadfast presence of the tenors, and the resonant foundation of the basses blend seamlessly to create a symphony of worship.

Through the collaboration of Gloria and William J. Gaither's profound words and melodies and Lloyd Larson's expert arrangement, "Because He Lives" stands as a testament to the transformative power of music. It reminds us that even in the face of adversity, the resurrection of Christ brings hope, victory, and eternal promise.
With gratitude to the Gaithers and admiration for Larson's artistry, we embrace this hymn as a cherished treasure celebrated by congregations worldwide. It serves as a constant reminder of the unchanging truth that, because Jesus lives, we can face each day with unwavering faith and abounding praise.

The sacred song of freedom will never be deterred
From our borders to the farthest land her melody is heard.
A tune of matchless beauty filled with strains of victory;
Each lyric penned in crimson the blood of the free....

Sweet Land Of Liberty

Released: November 2001
Created by: Randy Vader / Jay Rouse / Camp Kirkland
Voicings: SATB

America – The sweet land of liberty: Home to a people who long to experience life to the fullest; home to a people willing to offer and endure what freedom demands. In the aftermath of the senseless and appalling terrorist attacks on Oklahoma City, New York City and Washington D.C., we are once again reminded that just as the benefits of freedom touch all of our lives, so does the cost. As valiant as our efforts are to defend all that we hold dear, we are now more aware than ever, that it takes Divine intervention to give us the wisdom and the courage to protect all that we hold sacred. This is a nation that boldly proclaims her trust in God. We are sustained in the present and assured of the future by the proof of the past. God has blessed America; God does watch over His children; God will lead His people. We hold to this truth: the temporal and vulnerable will soon give way to the Immortal and Invincible… There is a sweet land of liberty yet to come, a homeland that will never be corrupted or diminished by hatred and fear. It is a promised land made possible by a just and gracious God – the One true God: the God of all that was, the God of all that is, the God of all that will be. Great is His love; Great is His care; Great is His faithfulness.

The MAJESTY OF HEAVEN is a beautifully crafted retelling of the miraculous events of that first Christmas. Our Father in Heaven bridged the chasm between His Majesty and our humanity when He sent His only Son, the MAJESTY OF HEAVEN.

Office Closure Announcement: Juneteenth

Dear valued community,

We are thrilled to join the nationwide celebration of Juneteenth, a significant day in American history. In observance of this momentous occasion, we will be closing our offices on June 19th.

Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight for equality and justice. It is a time for reflection, education, and unity.

During this closure, our team will take the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations, deepen our understanding of racial history, and honor the contributions of Black Americans to our society.

We encourage everyone to take this day to learn, listen, and participate in Juneteenth events within your communities. Let's embrace this occasion as an opportunity for growth and fostering positive change.

Please note that our offices will reopen, and regular operations will resume on Tuesday, June 20th.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we honor this significant milestone in our shared history.

While Juneteenth celebrations take various forms, music remains an essential element that resonates with the heart and soul of this historic occasion..
