We like writing Christian songs when we have the time, to give a fresh expression to reliable truth. And we also like writing new tunes for great old hymns that shouldn't be forgotten, or consigned to tunes that are past their sell-by-date! A new tune is like a new set of clothes for a song. It doesn't change the content, but might help give it a whole new lease of life. We'll release some recordings from time to time on this podcast. http://www.rowbory.co.uk/music © 2005-8 David & Julie Rowbory http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss en Mon, 17 Mar 2008 12:21:57 +0300 Sun, 16 Mar 2008 20:14:56 +0300 David's Handcrafted XML Original Songs and New Tunes for Old from David & Julie Rowbory We like writing Christian songs when we have the time, to give a fresh expression to reliable truth.

Jesus, your blood and righteousness my beauty are, my glorious dress; mid burning worlds, in these arrayed, with joy I shall lift up my head. Bold shall I stand on your great day and none condemn me, try who may; fully absolved by you I am from sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 2. When from the dust of death I rise, to claim my home beyond the skies, then this shall be my only plea: Jesus has lived, has died for me. O give to all your servants, Lord, to speak with power your gracious word, that all who now believe it true may find eternal life in you. 3. O God of power, O God of love, let all the world your mercy prove; now let your word in all prevail; Lord, take the spoils of death and hell! O let the dead now hear your voice; let those once lost in sin rejoice! Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus, your blood and righteousness 1:52 Jesus,your,blood,and,righteousness,Jesus your blood and righteousness,burning worlds,arrayed David Rowbory no New Tunes for (Great) Old Songs<BR /> Words by Josiah Conder 1789-1855 (modified from the Praise Version © Praise Trust)<BR /> <BR /> Jesus, the everlasting word,<BR /> the Father’s only Son;<BR /> God manifestly seen and heard<BR /> and heaven’s beloved One:<BR /> Worthy, O Lamb of God adored, <BR /> that every tongue should call you Lord! http://www.rowbory.co.uk/music/jesus_the_everlasting_word.php http://www.rowbory.co.uk/music/jesus_the_everlasting_word.php Sat, 15 Mar 2008 20:09:17 +0300 Josiah Conder 1789-1855 (modified from the Praise Version © Praise Trust) New Tunes for (Great) Old Songs Words by Josiah Conder 1789-1855 (modified from the Praise Version © Praise Trust) Jesus, the everlasting word, the Father’s only Son; God manifestly seen and heard and heaven’s beloved One: Worthy, O Lamb of God adored, that every tongue should call you Lord! 2. In you, most perfectly expressed, the Father’s glories shine; of the full deity possessed, eternally divine: Worthy, O Lamb of God adored, that every tongue should call you Lord! 3. True image of the Infinite, whose essence is concealed; brightness of uncreated light; the heart of God revealed: Worthy, O Lamb of God adored, that every tongue should call you Lord! 4. But the high mysteries of your name an angel’s grasp transcend: the Father only—glorious claim!— the Son can comprehend: Worthy, O Lamb of God adored, that every tongue should call you Lord! 5. Lord of the universe of bliss, its centre and its sun; our endless theme of praise is this to heaven’s beloved One: Worthy, O Lamb of God adored, that every tongue should call you Lord! 2:40 David Rowbory no <p>Words by Horatius Bonar 1808-89<br /> Based on Praise version: © PRAISE TRUST<br /> 1.

Your work, not mine, O Christ, speaks gladness to this heart. It tells me all is done and bids my fear depart. To whom but you, who can alone for sin atone, Lord, shall I go? 2. Your wounds, not mine, O Christ, can heal my damaged soul; your stripes, not mine, contain the balm that makes me whole. To whom but you, who can alone for sin atone, Lord, shall I go? 3. Your cross, not mine, O Christ, has borne the awful load of sins that none could bear but the incarnate God. (if singing this verse as a bridge, then omit the refrain:) To whom but you, who can alone for sin atone, Lord, shall I go? 4. Your death, not mine, O Christ, has paid the ransom due; ten thousand deaths like mine would have been all too few. To whom but you, who can alone for sin atone, Lord, shall I go? 5. Your righteousness, O Christ, alone can cover me; no righteousness but yours suffices for my plea. To whom but you, who can alone for sin atone, Lord, shall I go? 3:12 Horatius Bonar,Your work not mine,Thy work not mine Julie Rowbory no
