This beautiful song, arranged here for solo piano, deserves to be much better known. It dates from 1900 and was performed at a British promenade concert at the Royal Albert Hall, London, in 1906. The song was republished in 1932 in the News-Chronicle Music for the Home, a collection of popular classical pieces edited by the composer. As a champion of musical performance, Landon Ronald intended this volume to encourage home music-making. The habit of listening to music instead of performing it...is so deeply to be deplored he wrote in the preface. It is up to all music-lovers to do what they can to prevent it from spreading... If this book assists to revive the desire of self-performance which is innate in most of us, then the aim and object of the 'News-Chronicle' and the Editor will have been achieved.                  .

ACT TWO: Song 7. The King, by Dennis McCorkle, is a contemporary pop-rock musical of the first two kings of Israel, Saul ben Kish and David ben Jesse and explores the contrasting lives and outcome of each man’s choices in life. [2 Samuel 12:1-7… - And Yahweh sent Nathan to David. And he came unto him, and said unto him: ‘There were two men in one city: the one rich, and the other poor. 2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds; 3 but the poor man had nothing save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and reared; and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own morsel, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. 4 And there came a traveler unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him, but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.’ 5 And David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan: ‘As Yahweh lives, the man that hath done this deserves to die; 6 and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.’ 7 And Nathan said to David: ‘You art the man.’…] The news is brought back to DAVID and BATHSHEBA. After an appropriate period of mourning, DAVID calls for BATHSHEBA and takes her as his wife and eventually gives birth to a son. DAVID in the meantime still conceals to himself the actions that precipitated URIAH’S death. NATHAN confronts DAVID about a rich man in the town who has stolen a lamb from a poor man. DAVID outraged at the injustice tells NATHAN that the man will die for his unfeeling actions. NATHAN then reveals that he (DAVID) is that man [There Were Two Men – Nathan and the Prophetess’]. Now at last the matter is exposed and David must face his actions. As NATHAN and the prophets leave, one of DAVID’S men comes in and tells him that his son has died. Also included with your order is our new 20 page catalog of over 150 titles at no additional charge.

Other than the fact that Sousa’s “thunderer” was undoubtedly a Mason, his identity may never be revealed. “The Thunderer” march was dedicated to Columbia Commandery No. 2, Knights Templar, of Washington, D.C., and it was composed on the occasion of the Twenty-fourth Triennial Conclave of the Grand Encampment. The conclave was held in October 1889 and was sponsored by Columbia Commandery No. 2. Sousa had been “knighted” in that organization three years earlier.

“The Thunderer” was Mrs. John Philip Sousa’s favorite march. This was revealed by their daughter Helen, who also surmised that the “thunderer” might have been her father’s salute to the London Times, which was known as “the thunderer.” It has since been determined that Sousa probably had no association with the newspaper at that time, however. The “thunderer” might have been one of the men in charge of making arrangements for the 1889 conclave–in particular, Myron M. Parker, who worked tirelessly to make the event the spectacular success that it was.

This version has been arranged for orchestra with a little something in the trio!

About the song: In Psalm 22:22, David writes, I will praise You to all my brothers; I will stand up before the congregation and testify to the wonderful things You have done. Again, in Psalm 66:16, the psalmist says, Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what He did for me. Jesus, after healing a man with a demon, commands the man to go home... and report the great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you. The testimony of a life changed by God's love and His great mercy is a powerful tool for both spreading the Good News and resisting temptation. It is good for us to remember and proclaim, both personally and collectively, the great things the Lord has done.

Lyrics:

Verse 1

Let me tell you a story of grace,

How the Son of Man died in my place.

Raised to life, all my sin was erased.

Praise the Name of the Lord.

Verse 2

Many times I have asked of the Lord,

On my knees I have prayed and implored.

In the waiting my soul is restored,

Praise the Name of the Lord.

Chorus 1

This is what the Lord has done for me,

Paid my debt and set this captive free.

Mercy flowed down at Calvary,

This is what the Lord has done for me.

Verse 3

When I’m tempted to fear the unknown,

I’m reminded I don’t walk alone.

Christ is with me and He’ll lead me home,

Praise the Name of the Lord.

Chorus 2

This is what the Lord has done for me,

Paid my debt and set this captive free.

Mercy flowed down at Calvary,

This is what the Lord has done for me.

Bridge

Opened these blind eyes to see,

Softened this heart to believe,

Pardoned my sin on a tree,

Now I stand redeemed.

Key Change (up whole tone)

This is what the Lord has done for me,

Paid my debt and set this captive free.

Mercy flowed down at Calvary,

This is what the Lord has done for me.

Paid my debt and set this captive free.

This is what the Lord has done for me.

This is what the Lord has done for me.
