An off-the-cuff arrangement of Blessed Be the Lord God Almighty just because.

Originally by Bob Fiits.

Performed and recorded on my Roland RD-700NX.
----------------------------------------
Father in heaven, how we love You
We lift Your name in all the earth
May Your kingdom be established in our praises
As Your people declare Your mighty works

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty
Who reigns forevermore

A piano improvisation of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.

Originally credited to John Mason Neale and Thomas Helmore. Additional credit to Marshall McDonald and Steven Sharp (The Piano Guys) for their inspirational arrangement.

Performed and recorded on my Roland RD-700NX.
-------------------
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight

O come, Thou Wisdom from on high
And order all things far and nigh
To us the path of knowledge show
And cause us in her ways to go

O come, Desire of nations bind
All peoples in one heart and mind
Bid envy strife and quarrels cease
Fill the whole world with heaven's peace

An off-the-cuff arrangement of Go Tell It On the Mountain.

Stick with it; I know it starts slow but I didn't arrange that part!

I'll be honest: I'm not a fan of this song. I just dislike it a little less after doing this to it. Now I can finally move on! : )

--------------------------------
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And brought us God's salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth

An original arrangement of God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen (unknown author, public domain).

The picture is a lie; this song contains no piano (except that it was still performed on my digital piano).

Performed and recorded on my Roland RD-700NX in a single take with no post-processing.
--------------------------
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God, our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name

"Fear not", then said the angel
"Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Savior
Of a pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might!"

The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks afeeding
In tempest storms and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway
The blessed Babe to find

And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Savior lay
They found Him in a manger
Where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeling down
Unto the Lord did pray

A piano version of Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)... since I learned it as an improvised accompaniment for a vocal solo!

Originally by Chris Tomlin and Ed Cash.

Performed and recorded on my Roland RD-700NX.
-----------------------------------
What hope we hold this starlit night
A King is born in Bethlehem
Our journey long, we seek the light
That leads to the hallowed manger ground

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God incarnate here to dwell
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Praise His name: Emmanuel

What fear we felt in the silent age
Four hundred years can He be found?
But broken by a baby's cry
Rejoice in the hallowed manger ground

The Son of God here born to bleed
A crown of thorns would pierce His brow
And we beheld this offering
Exalted now the King of kings
Praise God for the hallowed manger ground

Praise His name Emmanuel

An off-the-cuff arrangement of that Christmas classic, We Three Kings (John Henry & Jr. Hopkins)

------------------------------
This song often gets a bad rap for its words. If you read past verse 1, the meaning is actually quite deep as it speaks to the symbolism of the gifts.

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts; we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him God on high

Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone cold tomb

Glorious now, behold Him arise
King and God and sacrifice
Alleluia, alleluia
Earth to Heav'n replies

A song about finding peace in the midst of the insanity and chaos of this world.

Whom Shall I Fear by Chris Tomlin, a powerful song empowering the listener to evaluate the

promises of God based on His faithfulness. This is the God who commands angel armies and

holds the world's fate in His hand. There is civil and moral unrest worldwide,

should we fear those that can kill the body?

Sharing the classroom and dorm with early members of Jars of Clay while attending Greenville College Matt could not help but be influenced by their music. Original Jars Of Clay guitarist Matt Bronleewe showed Norton the special tuning they had been fiddling around with at the time, inspiring Norton to write a series of songs. Norton actually borrowed Bronleewe's acoustic guitar for this recording and the song was recorded in the same studio that Jars Of Clay cut their first demo CD, "Frail". Norton later read that Bronleew's had sold an acoustic guitar to Plumb shortly after College who just happened to be living in the same apartment complex. It is quite possible that, it was the same Ovation acoustic guitar used on Norton's album "Direction" as featured on this best of collection.

You can defiantly hear the influences of songs like "Liquid, and the original much edgier demo visions of Jars Of Clay's "Fade To Grey" as well as the Newsboys' ' I can Not Get You Out Of My System" From "Not Ashamed." The song also fits right in with other songs from it's time like the Newsboys "God Is Not A Secret", "it's All Who You Know", CupO'Tea", "Reality", "Breath", "Breakfast", "Let It Go" From Take Me To Your Leader. Stone Temple Pilots and Sound Garden were also an influence in Matt's songwriting for this area as alternative rock started making it's impact. Songs like "Interstate Love Song", "Plush", "Vaseline", Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Spoon Man" by Sound Garden), Petra
