By: Chuck SpanglerGrace Memorial Parishioner For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend, with all saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, And to know the love of Christ, which passeth all knowledge, that ye might be filled with the fullness of God. - Ephesians 3:14-19 If we have learned anything from our hours of scripture reading and listening to Christian Praise music, it’s that we can only fulfill God’s plan for us as Christians if we allow our hearts to follow the teachings of Jesus.

By: Chuck SpanglerGrace Memorial Parishioner “For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, who hath made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son; In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.” -Colossians 1:9-14 With the tumultuous and heart-wrenching calamities of the past two weeks, I thought it appropriate to share the following duet featuring Zach Williams and Dolly Parton. Zach Williams, born in 1978, has been a popular Christian music artist since 2007, living in Jonesboro, Arkansas. He writes the majority of his music, which features his raspy baritone voice and country/acoustic style. He has won 5 Grammy and GMA Dove awards, including the 2021 Grammy for “There Was Jesus.” Dolly Parton, who harmonizes with Zach on this cut, needs no introduction, except to mention that she hails from Sevierville, TN (close to Mother Liz’s youthful stomping grounds). Cut: “There Was Jesus” Artist: Zach Williams (accompanied by Dolly Parton)
Every time I tried to make it on my own. Every time I tried to stand and start to fall. All those lonely roads that I have travelled on…There was Jesus. When the life I built came crashing to the ground. When the friends I had were nowhere to be found. I couldn't see it then but I can see it now…There was Jesus. IN THE WAITING AND THE SEARCHING IN THE HEALING AND THE HURTING LIKE A BLESSING BURIED IN THE BROKEN PIECES EVERY MINUTE EVERY MOMENT OF WHERE I’VE BEEN AND WHERE I'M GOIN EVEN WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW IT OR COULDN'T SEE IT…THERE WAS JESUS. For this man who needs amazing kind of grace. For forgiveness at a price I could not pay. I’m not perfect so I thank God every day that There was Jesus. IN THE WAITING AND THE SEARCHING IN THE HEALING AND THE HURTING LIKE A BLESSING BURIED IN THE BROKEN PIECES EVERY MINUTE EVERY MOMENT OF WHERE I’VE BEEN AND WHERE I'M GOIN EVEN WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW IT OR COULDN'T SEE IT…THERE WAS JESUS On the mountain, in the valleys (There was Jesus), In the shadows of the alleys (There was Jesus) In the fire, in the flood (There was Jesus)…Always is and always was. No I’ll never walk alone! (Never walk alone)…You were always there. IN THE WORRY AND THE SEARCHING IN THE HEALING AND THE HURTING LIKE A BLESSING BURIED IN THE BROKEN PIECES EVERY MINUTE EVERY MOMENT OF WHERE I’VE BEEN AND WHERE I'M GOIN EVEN WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW IT OR COULDN'T SEE IT…THERE WAS JESUS. By: Chuck SpanglerGrace Memorial Parishioner And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them unto heaven, the shepherds said one to the other, “Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.” And they came with haste and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. -Luke 2:15-16 Third Day was established in 1993 and is an internationally acclaimed Christian Music group led by Mac Powell, whose genuine commitment to Christ and distinctive baritone voice have contributed to the group’s popularity. They have sold 7 million albums, with 28 #1 hits, garnered four Grammys, and 24 Gospel Music Awards. Third Day was awarded the 2008 American Music Award for “Favorite Contemporary Inspirational Artist." Grace Memorial’s Christian Formation group heard Third Day in concert in Baton Rouge (April 2015). Their music is a frequent subject of our Sunday contemplation. Cut: “Manger Throne” Artist: Third Day CD/Album: City On a Hill – It’s Christmas Time What kind of King would leave His throne
In Heaven to make this earth His home? While men seek fame and great renown In lowliness our King comes down Jesus, Jesus, precious one How we thank You that You've come Jesus, Jesus, precious one A manger throne for God's own Son You left the sound of angels' praise To come for men with unkind ways And by this Baby's helplessness The power of nations is laid to rest Jesus, Jesus, precious one How we thank You that You've come Jesus, Jesus, precious one A manger throne for God's own Son What kind of King would come so small From glory to a humble stall? That dirty manger is my heart too I'll make it a royal throne for You Jesus, Jesus, precious one How we thank You that You've come Jesus, Jesus, precious one A manger throne for God's own Son By Chuck SpanglerGrace Memorial Parishioner In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, ‘Greetings, favoured one! The Lord is with you.’ But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. The angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.’ Luke 1:26-33 Selah is an internationally acclaimed Christian music trio (Todd Smith, Allan Hall, & Amy Perry) formed in 1997. Amy Perry’s remarkable voice fills this song with emotion and depth. The group took their name from the ancient Hebrew word “selah”, the exact meaning of which has been lost in antiquity. The word “selah” appears over 70 times in the Psalms…it is surmised by some theologians that its meaning is similar to “amen” in that no viable English synonym exists. Selah has sold more than 4 million albums resulting in 8 Gospel Music Association “Dove Awards”, and 8 #1 singles. Cut: “Mary Sweet Mary” Artist: Selah Mary, sweet Mary, your heart overflows
Deep in the night, child, a babe is born. Sacred and holy, blameless and pure, Mary, sweet Mary, tonight your child is born. Mary, sweet Mary, so strong, yet so frail Carried a baby sent to save the world. Wise men still seek Him and find in Him peace. Mary, sweet Mary, tonight your King is born. All of the angels danced as heaven sang All of the earth stood so still and so peacefully. Mary, sweet Mary, God's precious child Blessed redemption is found in His eyes. All creatures great and small, He came for all. Mary, sweet Mary, tonight your Savior's born . . . Mary, sweet Mary, tonight our Savior is born . . . Chuck SpanglerGrace Memorial Parishioner “Messiah” is universally acknowledged as one of the finest musical pieces ever composed. The work was accomplished by Handel with assistance from Charles Jenners (an 18th century lyricist). The combination of a strong Christian theme, four part voice harmonies and solos, orchestral compositions (running the gamut of strings, percussion, and horns), and at times a unique and majestic harmonious blend of voice, instrument, and verse, “Messiah” is indeed worth listening to and reflecting on over many “takes”. If ever one could conclude that “Divine Inspiration” exists, this work offers convincing evidence: Handel commenced the “Messiah” on August 22, 1741, in response to a competition for a new work of music to be performed in Dublin on Easter, 1742. The work was somehow completed by Handel on September 14, 1741…a miraculous feat accomplished in twenty-three days! The Dublin audience was understandably in awe of the superb music. The Dublin debut was followed over the next few years by concerts in London and throughout Europe. Over the centuries a number of changes to the work have been made; however, the basic composition has stood the test of time. The seven YouTube videos highlighted below represent a portion of “Part I” which concentrates on the birth of Jesus. Each Advent season, our youth would be “exposed” to this classic which might be alternately labeled as the “First Christian Praise Music” composition! “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout! O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh unto thee! He is the righteous Saviour, and He shall speak peace unto the heathen.” Luke 1:14 “Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth, goodwill towards men.” LUKE 2:14 “There were shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And lo! the Angel of the Lord ca me u po n them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid.” LUKE 2: 8-9 “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” ISAIAH 9:6 “Behold a Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name “Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill made low, the crooked straight and the rough places plain.” ISAIAH 40:4 "Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God; speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem; and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned.

ISAIAH 40: 1-3 Chuck SpanglerThey said to each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?’ The sinners in Zion are afraid; We love because he first loved us. Stars Go Dim is a four piece Christian rock band formed in 2007 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They began focusing exclusively on Christian Praise music with the release of the “Stars Go Dim” CD/EP in 2015. In 2016, they were nominated for a Dove Award for “New Artist of the Year”. Their music is characterized by excellent vocals (headlined by lead singer Chris Cleveland, who also writes a majority of their music) and upbeat, up-tempo arrangements. The contemporary style and sound of SGD had a unique appeal to the teenagers in our Christian Formation group. The specific message in “You Are Loved” was received by the kids as both uplifting and encouraging. “Never Burn Out” Album: Stars Go Dim Artist: Stars Go Dim I know I’ve said a thousand times, “I’ll follow You, leave it all behind”.
But here I am on my knees again. Just a broken soul tryin to stand, with a beggar’s heart, reachin out my hands. God I need one more chance…God I need one more chance. Take my hopes take my dreams, align them up with You, Until I see the world everything from a different view, Take the fear in me and fade it to the background. Light a fire…light a fire…that will never burn out…that will never burn out. I wanna lose myself in Your great design, of a selfless love that Your Son defined. I wanna be the spark glowin in the night. My past is gone, my future’s Yours, I only get one life, I wanna live for more. I don’t wanna waste another moment, yeah I don’t wanna waste another moment. Take my hopes take my dreams, align them up with You, Until I see the world everything from a different view, Take the fear in me and fade it to the background. Light a fire…light a fire…that will never burn out…that will never burn out. That will never burn out…that will never burn out. All I am, all I have for You, for You. All I am, all I have for You, for You. Take my hopes take my dreams, align them up with You, Until I see the world everything from a different view, Take the fear in me and fade it to the background.

"You Are Loved" Album: Stars Go Dim Artist: Stars Go Dim "You Are Loved" Lyrics: We hide pain in the weirdest places, Broken souls with smiling faces. Fighting for surrender, For now and the after, yeah. Just look around and you'll see that people, Are scared to say how they really feel, oh We all need a little honesty…You are loved. If your heart's in a thousand pieces, If you're lost and you're far from reason. Just look up, know you are loved, Just look up, and know you are loved. When it feels like something's missing…If it hurts but you can't find healing. Just look up, know you are loved. Just look up, know you are loved. We're not made to be superheroes…Photoshopped, all size zeroes. We're a light not expected, But not quite perfected yet, yeah. Look up see the sun is shining, There's hope on a new horizon. Calling you, it's calling. You are loved. If your heart's in a thousand pieces, If you're lost and you're far from reason. Just look up, know you are loved, Just look up, and know you are loved. When it feels like something's missin', If it hurts but you can't find healin'. Just look up, know you are loved, Just look up, know you are loved.

Selah, "Be Still" & "I'd Rather Have Jesus", Proverbs 17:28 & Luke 6:20, 24, 27-29, 32-33, 3511/15/2024 Chuck SpanglerGrace Memorial Parishioner "Noise"The noise, both and pre- and post-election, has been deafening. And there are a multitude of contributors! We have the news feeds, MSNBC v CNN v Fox v most of the printed press! Who do we trust? Who do we listen to? Who is speaking truth and only truth? And there’s the social media. We have friends, family, casual acquaintances, self-adorned “experts”, who have unbridled (and in some cases uncensored) opinions that they seem to passionately believe we need to hear. And there’s always someone that wants to engage the source in ugly, occasionally hateful, debate. Thanks be to God for the answer to this craziness: I hope you will read and contemplate on our latest Grace Memorial Newsletter where Mother Liz, Bishop Shannon, and Presiding Bishop Sean offer some inspiring words and prayer to deal with all of the rhetoric which seems to be drowning us. And there’s always the solution to abandon all news media and social media that partakes in strictly partisan political diatribe. With the above in mind, I offer you two (2) selections by Selah, “Be Still” and “I’d Rather Have Jesus”. Selah is an internationally acclaimed Christian music trio (Todd Smith, Allan Hall, & Amy Perry) formed in 1997. Todd’s and Amy’s remarkable voices fills this music with emotion and depth. The group took their name from the ancient Hebrew word “selah”, the exact meaning of which has been lost in antiquity. The word “selah” appears over 70 times in the Psalms…it is surmised by some theologians that its meaning is similar to “amen” in that no viable English synonym exists. Selah has sold more than 4 million albums resulting in 8 Gospel Music Association “Dove Awards”, and 8 #1 singles. Even fools who keep silent are considered wise; when they close their lips, they are deemed intelligent. “Be Still” Artist: Selah "Be Still" Lyrics: It's so loud…I just can't seem to slow this down I need You more than ever now…Let the silence be the only sound Your glory, Becomes the only thing I see…Your beauty brings me to my knees The awe that You inspire in me Makes me want to be still…So still You can hear me breathing in…So still You can hear me breathing out Let Your calm descend upon me now So now… I stand before You broken down…My feet upon this holy ground I can feel Your presence all around Makes me want to be still…So still You can hear me breathing in…So still You can hear me breathing out Let Your calm descend upon me now I hear You whisper softly…I hear You speaking to me…I hear You In the silence You call my name. I want to be still…So still You can hear me breathing in…So still You can hear me breathing out Let Your calm descend upon me now I want to be still…So still You can hear me breathing in…So still You can hear me breathing out Let Your calm descend upon me now I want to be still…So still You can hear me breathing in…So still You can hear me breathing out Let Your calm descend upon me now I want to be still…I want to be still…I want to be still Be still Then he looked up at his disciples and said: “I’d Rather Have Jesus” Album: You Amaze Us Artist: Selah "I'd Rather Have Jesus" Lyrics: I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold, I'd rather be His than have riches untold I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land, Yes, I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand. Than to be the king of a vast domain, And be held in sin's dread sway I'd rather have Jesus than anything This world affords today. I'd rather have Jesus than men’s applause, I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame, I'd rather be true to His holy Name. Than to be the king of a vast domain, And be held in sin's dread sway I'd rather have Jesus than anything This world affords today He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom; He's sweeter than honey from out the comb; He's all that my hungering spirit needs; I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead Than to be the king of a vast domain, And be held in sin's dread sway I'd rather have Jesus than anything This world affords today Than to be the king of a vast domain, And be held in sin's dread sway I'd rather have Jesus than anything This world affords today Scripture readings are from the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), Copyright © 1989 by the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and are used by permission.

Chuck SpanglerGrace Memorial Parishioner Listen, I will tell you a mystery! We will not all die, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labour is not in vain. These next two cuts are written and performed by Micah Tyler, an “under the radar” artist that presents quality music without a hint of formal musical training. Micah Tyler was born in Beaumont, Texas, in 1983. He worked as a delivery truck driver playing and writing Christian music on the side until 2017 when he decided to pursue music professionally. He composes and arranges all of his music, and has had 4 singles reach the top 5, including “Different” (which reached #3). He currently tours regularly across the country. "Different" Album: Different Artist: Micah Tyler "Different" Lyrics: I don’t want to hear anymore, teach me to listen. I don’t want to see anymore, give me a vision. That You could move this heart to be set apart. I don’t need to recognize the man in the mirror. And I don’t want to trade Your plan for something familiar. I can’t waste a day…I can’t stay the same… I want to be different, I want to be changed, til all of me is gone and all that remains… Is a fire so bright the whole world can see that there’s something different, So come and be different…in me. And I don’t want to spend my life stuck in a pattern, And I don’t to want to gain this world but loose what matters. So I’m giving up everything because… I want to be different, I want to be changed, til all of me is gone and all that remains… Is a fire so bright the whole world can see that there’s something different, So come and be different… Oh I know that I am far from perfect. But through You the cross still says I’m worth it. Take this beating in my heart, come and finish what You’ve started: When they see me, let them see You, cause I just want to be different I want to be different, I want to be changed. Till all of me’s gone, and all that remains, oh, is a fire so bright the whole world can see. That there’s something different, so come and be different… I just want to be different…could You be different…in me. "Never Been a Moment" Album: Different Artist: Micah Tyler "Never Been a Moment" Lyrics: I've been a sinner, I've been a saint…A little bit of both every single day I've been lost, but somehow I've been found. There's been some pain, been some regret…Been some moments I'll never forget But when I look back from where I'm standing now. There's never been a moment I was not held inside Your arms…And there's never been a day when You were not who You say You are. You're forever, it don't matter what I'm walking through…; Cause no matter where I'm going There's never been a moment…That I was not loved by You Loved by You…Loved by You. You've been the Rock, You've been the peace…Always showing Your good heart to me. My days are marked by grace I don't deserve, no. You've been the price I could never pay…You've been the light that has led the way, No matter where I am…Oh, I am sure There's never been a moment…I was not held inside Your arms… And there's never been a day when You were not who You say You are. You're forever, it don't matter what I'm walking through: Cause no matter where I'm going…There's never been a moment That I was not loved by You, Loved by You, Loved by You. So where could I go That I could wander from Your side, And where could I run And never leave behind. You're all-consuming, heart-pursuing, grace-extending, never-ending love…Your love. And there's never been a moment, no. There's never been a moment I was not held inside Your arms. And there's never been a day when You were not who You say You are. You're forever, it don't matter what I'm walking through; Cause no matter where I'm going There's never been a moment That I was not loved Oh, no matter where I'm going There's never been a moment That I was not loved by You Loved by You (yeah), Loved by You (loved by You), Loved by You Loved by You, Loved by You, Loved by You.
