Two Songs From Pepperdine

Keith — Tue, 08 May 2012 19:39:02 +0000

Here are two songs that my daughters, Melissa and Kimberly sang with me at the Pepperdine Bible Lectures. “Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer. But this I know with all my heart: His wounds have paid my ransom.” Followed by “I Will Praise Him.”

30 Seconds at Normandie

Keith — Tue, 08 May 2012 06:55:23 +0000

Photo and video by Willard Crigler – Here’s a 30 second clip from my Praise & Harmony Workshop with the Normandie Church in Los Angeles, California.

The reason a cappella congregational singing is fabulous stems from the fact that it only works well when everyone is involved; to do it well demands participation. Isn’t worship a participatory activity?

Pictured: Mark Manassee, Preaching Minister for Culver Palms. We were blessed by a great experience with the Culver Palms congregation. In addition to a Praise & Harmony emphasis, we enjoyed a Big Greek Fat Feast with Alexander and Eleni Mellirrytos hosting.

I hope to secure more photos later.

Here’s a video of me leading congregational singing along with Acappella on our tenth anniversary in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Wow – It’s hard to believe that our tenth anniversary was twenty years ago!

I sure hope you can join us for our 30th Anniversary, June 30 – July 3 in Nashville, TN at Lipscomb University. There will be many concerts as well as some outstanding congregational singing.

Acappella Sings “O Jerusalem”

Keith — Tue, 01 May 2012 19:12:01 +0000

This Acappella concert in 1984 featured (from left to right) Kevin McCall, Ron McCommas, Keith Lancaster, Tim Tripp and Gary Yeager.

As some of you know, I love to write Scripture songs. Understanding that rejection can be intensely stressful, we can only imagine the pain that Jesus felt as he wept over Jerusalem. Check out the video here.

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem

You who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you

How often I have longed to gather your children together

As a hen gathers her chicks under her wings

But you were not willing . . .”
