Someone's Praying, Lord is a book of prayers written specifically for situations of daily life--prayers for the high times and the lows, prayers for times of happiness and sadness, prayers in the morning and those at night. This book is made up of prayers that struggled, in many different times and places, to be born within one's life; to speak to God, not just for oneself but for other people too, those feelings most deeply felt, those longings most secretly longed, and those words most passionately needing to be said. They are offered in this form as expressions of what one person, "standin' in the need of prayer," felt and said in that moment when his heart was most touched by God.

A collection of more than twenty selections from around the world includes poems and prayers for children.

You have never played music before or you cannot read sheet music, but you want to play famous and inspiring hymns and spirituals. Don’t worry! You will begin to play right away. We made our pictured sheet music as simple as possible. You’ll play by number-coded circles. No musical staff or notes. The easy-to-play songs and melodies were adapted especially for beginners. The melodies have been transposed to one octave and simplified. Also, the number-coded notations have been added and complex notes and symbols have been reduced. Such simplification makes it possible for people to play melodies, especially those who can’t read music or who have never played music before. The steel tongue drum and the handpan are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body. You don't need classical music training or knowledge of music theory to play them. The primary purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world. No previous training or skills are necessary to enjoy these fascinating instruments. For tongue drums that have numbered musical notation, numbers 1 to 7 represent the keys of the diatonic major scale. For example, a C Major scale would be: 1 =C (do), 2 =D (re), 3 = E (mi), 4= F (fa), 5 = G (sol), 6 = A (la), 7 =B (ti / si), 8 (i) = C (do) Your drum can be numbered from 1 to 8, where 8 is note C of the next octave. We use the number 1 with a dot above the digit for this note because the most popular models of tongue drums use this enumeration. All songs in this book have been written with numbers because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys. This book is aimed at those new to music and musical instruments, whether child or adult. It allows for simple and easy learning that requires no previous knowledge of reading music. Because most tongue drums include and are tuned to involve the notes of the main octave, all songs from this book are possible to play in one octave. You may need to skip some songs if you have less than one octave of keys on your drum. Each tongue drum is very different and it is impossible to accommodate songs for all kinds of tongue drums in one book. There are the following hymns and spirituals in this book: Amazing Grace Babylon's Falling Be Still My Soul Christ Was Born on Christmas Day Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly Elijah Rock Every Time I Feel the Spirit God Is So Good Great Big Stars Great Day He's Got the Whole World in His Hands Holy, Holy, Holy I've Got Peace Like a River Jesus Loves Me Jingle Bells Jolly Old Saint Nicholas Joy to the World!

Praise Him, All You Little Children Shall We Gather at the River Silent Night, Holy Night Sinner Man Soldier of the Cross Song of Praise The First Noel Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder We Are Marching (Siyahamba) We Wish You a Merry Christmas When the Saints Go Marching In Who Built the Ark?

You have never played music before or you cannot read sheet music, but you want to play famous and inspiring hymns and spirituals. Don’t worry! You will begin to play right away. We made our pictured sheet music as simple as possible. You’ll play by letter-coded circles. No musical staff or notes. The easy-to-play songs and melodies were adapted especially for beginners. The melodies have been transposed to one octave and simplified. Also, the letter-coded notations have been added and complex notations and symbols have been reduced. Such simplification makes it possible for people to play melodies, especially those who can’t read music or who have never played music before. Additionally, it makes it possible to play on the most primitive instruments, such as a child's xylophone, bell sets, chime bars, and even a kid’s piano. You will be able to begin to play right away if the keys of your instrument have letter notations on the keys. Some percussion instruments already have them. They are printed by suppliers (for example, a simple xylophone or kalimba). For other instruments, you just need to get and apply stickers with letter notations. For most songs, just 8 stickers will be enough. You can create your own using post-it notes or stickers, or you can buy them. Write the notes with a marker - A B C D E F G and C of the next octave. Apply the stickers correctly. Find note C. Now apply the stickers alphabetically starting with C, then D E F G A B, and next C. Most songs from this book are possible to play on an 8-note instrument, so a one-octave instrument, for example, a 10-key kalimba, 8-key xylophone, small tongue drum, handbells, or even toy piano will be enough. But some songs here involve the neighboring with the main octave notes. For these songs, you will need a 2-3 octave instrument. It might be the kalimba with 17 keys, 15+ key xylophone, melodica, synthesizer, or piano. All of them need to have special note stickers for beginners. These transparent removable stickers are available on Amazon for 88/61/54/49 key instruments and they can really help in your musical experience. We don't use most musical symbols and notations here: the length of the notes, bars, beams, etc. This book is aimed at your first musical experience no matter what age you are. There is no wrong time or not enough preparation to take up spiritual pursuits.

The first collection specifically of the WORDS of well-known carols since John Stainer's (shorter) volume a century ago: as good for street singers (we know the tunes already but need the words - here) as for amateur choirs, churches, homes, the family round the piano or the fire - anywhere. And with the lovely advent carols too, my favourites. A comprehensive reasonably priced compendium from across the centuries, with some funny (looney) ones too. Children and even teachers and parents, will love it.

For each Sunday and other holy days, scripture references are given along with suggested altar and banner colors. Rev. Dr. Hollies includes prayers, a short focus essay with sermon ideas, suggestions for visual art, and more. Dr. Abbington brings his expertise in music to the planning. Based on seven major African-American worship hymnals, he suggests appropriate hymns, as well as anthems, spirituals, gospel songs, and organ music for each service. Sure to compliment the traditions of all types of congregations, Going to Wait! is an excellent reference for all who lead African-American Christian worship today!"--Back cover.
