In an effort to condense things I am doing into smaller chunks, I am no longer going to post to my music blog. So, if you want to keep updated on songs and arrangements, please go to www.completeleeblog.blogspot.com instead and sign up to receive emails, or use the rss feed.
I enjoy writing and arranging songs. To me it is relaxing and uplifting. This hymn arrangement is my first venture back into writing since being pleasantly sidetracked by the birth of my youngest son. Feels good. Hope you or someone you know might enjoy this.
In the middle of singing the congregational hymn, "I Need Thee Every Hour", ideas started coming to mind as I felt the powerful message of the lyrics. The next day I started playing around with the ideas, not sure what was going to come of them. As it turned out, four different arrangements were born of those initial ideas. It took a few weeks to finish as I went about studying the song and the lyrics, hearing from my missionary son that it was one of his favorites, contemplating the meaning of these words in my own life, etc. I came to realize the message is oh so true. I need my Savior every hour.
To view the sheet music or listen to computerized audio recordings of any of the arrangements, go to THIS PAGE on our home website.
