Music at Grace

The Grace Chancel Choir offers “Sing with Joy to the Lord” by J.W. Burson from Sunday’s worship at Grace Presbyterian Church. Directed by Sean Foster and accompanied by Kelsey Wise on piano, this joyful anthem is a vibrant expression of praise and gratitude.

As we continue our Still Speaking sermon series—exploring the voices of biblical prophets and the ways God continues to speak through unexpected people—this anthem beautifully echoes the theme of lifting our voices in hope and praise.

We invite you to listen, be encouraged, and share this beautiful offering of music with others.

“My Jesus” is an original song written by Pastor Kevin and offered with Kakophone, our praise band, during the 9 AM contemporary worship service on the Sunday after Easter.

This lively, old-timey song celebrates the heart of the Easter message: Christ is not confined to the cross or the tomb. The risen Christ is alive — present in our hearts, in our community, and at work in the world around us. The song reminds us that resurrection is not only something we celebrate for one day, but a living reality that continues to shape how we love, serve, and hope.

With joy, energy, and a spirit of celebration, Kakophone brings this song to life as a reminder that the risen Christ meets us in everyday moments — with the lonely, among our children, in the work of justice, and in the celebrations that renew our spirits.

We are grateful for the gift of music that helps us proclaim the good news of Easter and invites us to continue living as resurrection people.

If this song speaks to you, consider sharing it with someone who could use a reminder of hope.
