Instrument of Praise by Jean Welles
When this blog was first launched, you guys helped me name this song. It’s now one of the songs I’m teaching in Worship Guitar Class DVD 4. Most of the songs in the series are familiar worship songs. In DVD 3, I introduced one of my songs called ‘Gentle Rain.’ It was so precious when a number of you emailed me that it was your favorite song on the DVD and how much you enjoyed playing it!
DVD 4 has 3 of my songs. It also has ‘Open the eyes of my Heart,’ "At the Cross,’ and ‘Shout to the Lord.’ All great songs! What a Great God we have! It says in Scripture that there aren’t enough books in the world to contain all the works that Jesus did. Well, there aren’t enough songs to clearly express how Wonderful and Holy our God is.
I suspect, we will continue to sing new songs in His presence when we are in our Real Home. Meanwhile, we can try to express His Love with the finite minds we have. Hope you are writing new songs too. It’s one way we can try to express our gratitude to Him.
Dear Jean,
I was going to submit a song for the contest but in reading the rules I have a question. I wrote the song (age 41 and higher) but it was sung by a 16 year old from church on the CD. Can I still enter the contest and if so how should it be entered? This has been a real stretch for me to get it recorded, and onto the computer. I didn’t realize what a challange it would be to learn all these computer skills to submit a song. Writing the song was the easy part. I love what you are doing with your site to encourage everyone to participate in recognizing our Lord.
Thanks for your time. Sheril
Sheri,
Thanks for you comment. Since you wrote the song, it would be entered under your name and age category. Having someone else sing your song is perfectly acceptable. I’m looking forward to hearing it.
Blessings in HIM, Jean
Hey!
do you use this as a congregational song? Because it seems rele fast in some places and maybe hard for some people to pick up. excellent guitar.
Thanks David. We have used this song in home study groups. I originally wrote it as a personal prayer.
