A song of comfort about God's abiding care. 

There's never been a friend so dear than He Who conquers all my fears.
A friend Who's constant and so near - He's always there, He's always there.
When my faith seems small and weak, then His promises I'll seek.
And through His Word, I'll hear Him speak.
He's always there. He's always there. 

For every hour of every day, He'll walk beside you all the way. 
For every minute that passes by, throughout your life, He will abide.
There's not a moment that He's not there to guide your steps and show His care.
So take it to the Lord in prayer, He's always there. He's always there.

Oh, how wonderful to know that my Father loves me so.
No matter where on earth I go, He's always there, He's always there.
And when my journey here's complete, I'll worship at my Savior's feet. 
Forever in that land so sweet. He's always there. He's always there.  

For every hour of every day, He'll walk beside you all the way. 
For every minute that passes by, throughout your life, He will abide.
There's not a moment that He's not there to guide your steps and show His care.
So take it to the Lord in prayer, He's always there. He's always there.

He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night. They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky. He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places. For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant. He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing. He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession, that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws.  Praise Yah!

This lilting song in G Major for Piano, Voice, and Guitar has been fashioned to help you internalize God’s Word.

The range of the melody is from D above Middle C to the 2nd E above Middle C. The piano part is not difficult. It has a single note melody in the right hand until the tag at the end. The left hand follows a simple arpeggiated chord pattern.

The text of this song is from The World English Bible (WEB), a Public Domain (no copyright) Modern English translation of the Holy Bible based on the American Standard Version of the Holy Bible first published in 1901, the Biblia Hebraica Stutgartensa Old Testament, and the Greek Majority Text New Testament.

He Will Lead Me Home (choral church anthem composed in 2023)

The Inspiration

A few Easter seasons ago, during one of our Tuesday Choir rehearsals, we were preparing for “Good Shepherd Sunday�. Diane our Choir director commented “there are very few Good Shepherd pieces to choose from�. One of our sopranos replied “Let's write our own�. I made note of it and this past year finally found the time and inspiration to give it a try. I did my usual research on the subject matter and then found a drawing of a Shepherd standing at the top of a hill with his sheep lined up behind him. Leaning on his staff the Shepherd was contemplating the safest route home. Upon his decision he looked back and called to his sheep. 

The Music

The music begins with a piano introduction depicting the Shepherd standing at the top of the hill contemplating the safest route home, as noted earlier. Stately in nature it features a simple melodic idea, played by the right hand, which is then answered by a series of majestic chords. This “back and forth� continues until it reaches its climax at a D flat major chord against a slur from a high G to F. At this point we hear what will be a reoccurring chordal theme of C major to F major and later C minor to F major. The accompaniment begins, now in three quarter time signifying the sheep beginning to move in response to the shepherds call. The verse melody is drawn from the opening three notes of the introduction but with a different rhythm and repeats it self with underlying harmonic changes. The melody and chord structure is somewhat impressionistic in nature. Lyrically a contrast is drawn between how the Shepherd (Jesus) provides for his sheep (followers) and how God provides for the “sheep� (animals) through nature. As the verse comes to an end we are lead to the realization that “the shepherd is the Lord our King, the Good Shepherd King�. The refrain begins with the tenor continuing to solo on the main melody. �He Will Lead Home� is realized and proclaimed! A soprano descant is added for contrast. Harmonically the music makes use of the various minor key options, “melodic, harmonic and natural�. The refrain concludes proclaiming “The Good Shepherds the Way He's our Life!�. The second verse shadows the thought pattern of verse one leading to the refrain once more but this time a bridge is introduced to add drama with the piano playing a significant role. A return to the refrain is varied with the tenor singing a portion of it against softly played chords; but then resumes its rhythmic drive to its ultimate conclusion by repeating “the Good Shepherds the Way He's our Life!�.

Program Notes

Voicing can be varied based on what types of singers are available. For example this could be sung by 2 tenors with one singing the descant down an octave. Finally as noted in the score, the intro is optional though I prefer it be played; the shepherd contemplating a safe route is important in the music with its contrast to the verse music and important in our life of faith.

He's Been Untrue is a song about someone who is being unfaithful to his partner or wife. As he is not happy in the relationship he is looking elsewhere to another woman to satisfy his needs. In this scenario the right thing to do is repent and try to salvage the relationship. We cannot hide from God he sees all things so we should try to please him by staying faithful.

The perfect Easter morning song, He is Risen, was inspired by centuries of Christians on Easter morning, proclaiming to each other and to the entire world that HE IS RISEN! And we reply again, HE IS RISEN INDEED! 

As heard on my YouTube channel, this is the full piano vocal version in the key of F major, to suit a true soprano range, from F4-G5.

This song is beautiful for an Easter church service, either sung by a soloist or as a way to open a church service on Resurrection Sunday! It's perfect for a single singer accompanied by keyboard or piano for a powerful, prophetic statement, or can be joined halfway by a praise band or a pipe organ, whatever matches the style of your church's music. For best results, a smooth, rich pad sound should be used, especially for the beginning. 

Also available, by searching Stacey Plays Hymns and the song title on this site, are the following versions:

Full piano and vocal arrangement in D major [original key]
Full piano and vocal arrangement in G major [for lower voices or even higher than this copy]
Lead Sheet in several keys
Piano solo for a perfect matching prelude or postlude or communion interlude.

For other formats including large print, or extended choral harmony versions, please write me at staceyplayshymns@gmail.com and I'll be glad to make them especially for you. Purchase includes a free license for one church service with under 300 people, with proper attribution and credit in any printed or online materials. For a license to use this work on a larger scale, please contact me for permission and other usage details including lyrics formatted for printing in church bulletins or for powerpoint. Please let me know if there is any other way I can serve you as a congregation or fellow music/choir director as I endeavour to write several new choral anthems per year, along with my other recording work.

Thank you for supporting modern hymnwriters and musicians!
