Jesus made an astounding claim in Luke 4. When He proclaimed that He was the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy, it was more than a resume of credentials; it was a mission statement. In fact, it was a commitment - to you and to me - that there would be a place where sinners can find mercy; the afflicted can find healing; the broken can find compassion, and the outcast can find dignity. Behold the cross of Christ...it is the place where love and mercy meet.

This profound spiritual theme is movingly captured by veteran arranger Marty Parks in Where Love & Mercy Meet, the latest offering from Simply Word Easter. Combining popular songs by Michael W. Smith, Bill and Gloria Gaither, and Darlene Zschech and Reuben Morgan with beloved classics, this musical features engaging worship sequences with easy-to-learn SATB choral parts and arrangements for one male and one female solos (with optional men/women unison), making it ideal for smaller choirs or those with limited rehearsal time. A well-designed accompaniment DVD is available to enhance your production, as well as an optional small-cast dramatic script by Kim Messer that will bring the themes of the musical into a powerful contemporary focus. This Easter, invite your congregation and community to come to the place where love and mercy meet - the cross of Jesus Christ.

God's people are called to sing. His song has been written on our hearts, and we must give voice to what He has written there. And there may be nothing quite so powerful as a men's chorus joining strong voices together in songs of honor and praise to their God and King!

The new men's choir book from WORD Music, 1st CORINTHIANS 16:13, is designed to help the men of God in your church and community do just that...come together to sing praise to the Lord, to sing for joy, to sing to Him a new song, to declare His might and power. Featuring 7 new arrangements from best-selling arrangers Russell Mauldin, Cliff Duren, Lari Goss and Marty Hamby, 1st CORINTHIANS 16:13 is a must-have, new book for your music library. All men of God have a song to sing; now they have an excellent, new resource to help them bring that song to life and declare their allegiance to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

Ask the men in your Cchurch to sing; challenge and encourage them to sing. And if all else fails, then inspire them to sing, using the words of this magestic old hymn, Rise Up O Men of God, written by William P. Merrill in 1911. The text reads:

Rise up, O men of God! Have done with lesser things. Give heart and soul and mind and strength to serve the King of Kings. Rise up, O men of God, in one united throng. Bring in the day of brotherhood and end the night of wrong. Rise up, O men of God! The church for you doth wait, Her strength unequal to her task; rise up, and make her great! Rise up, O men of God! Tread where his feet have trod. As brothers of the Son of Man, rise up, O men of God! ...Rise up, men of God, and sing!
