Our goal at WorshipSounds Music is to make it possible for Choral Directors to purchase anthems for choir and ensembles, anthem orchestrations, and music for soloists that will allow the musicicans in your Church or Christian School to sing and play for God’s glory, sharing a message that will draw hearts to Him. We believe that Choral Music is an important part of Worship Ministry and that messages can be shared through the ministry of a choir that will not have the same impact if shared in any other way.
We are a friend to Worship Ministry in general, to Choral Music in particular, and to music budgets!
We also offer many choral anthems that are fully orchestrated, with orchestrations costing $25.00 or $30.00. All of our orchestration include all parts for strings, winds, and percussion, a full score, and a string reduction for keyboard. They are written to be practical for church musicians and to sound wonderful no matter what your group’s instrumentation may be. Great care is taken during the arranging process to make certain that the instrumental parts complement the message of the anthem without “covering up” the choir.
You will find excellent choral music that is meaningful and memorable, that has a Biblically sound message of praise and hope, and that is a joy to sing!

“Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” Music and lyrics by Travis L. Boyd
“Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” is a choral anthem and modern hymn, published by the Lorenz Corporation, that shares the full message of the gospel. The publishers’ description of the anthem states, “This memorable theme steadily builds throughout, forming a powerful statement of praise.”
(NOTE: Scroll down just below theJohn 3:16 needlework picture to the “Publisher’s Information Page” heading for a link to the anthem, orchestration, & accomp. trax on the Lorenz website.)
The anthem was inspired by the most beloved scripture verse and the favorite hymn for so many Christians. Travis wrote this song using as his inspiration John 3:16 and the message of the hymn, “Amazing Grace.” This is the story of how “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” came to be written.
In 2002, Travis stated that he wanted to write an anthem in honor of and dedicated to my Dad, who was valiantly fighting cancer (first diagnosed in December of 1999). Travis asked my Mom to find out what Dad’s favorite scripture verse and favorite hymn were, and to try to do so without arousing any suspicion. When Mom asked at first, Dad wanted to claim the entire book of John as his favorite scripture passage; but Mom was able to get him to name his favorite verse from the book, John 3:16. Mom called back to let us know his favorite scripture and also that his favorite hymn was “Amazing Grace.” Travis began the writing process, and he was blessed with a beautiful melody and a text that powerfully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. As soon as the song was complete, Travis immediately began arranging the song for SATB Choir.
When “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” was finished, my family began making plans to surprise Dad with the song. The son of some long time family friends was being married in Tulsa in early 2003. Since that was near our home, Travis and I invited everyone in our family who could come for the wedding to stay with us while in the area. While all were at our house, we would make the surprise happen. My sister, Linda, and brother, Rich, were both able to come, flying in from Washington State. Though Dad had endured two cancer-related surgeries by this point in his treatment and was still dealing with ongoing chemo and radiation, he was able to do some light travel. He and Mom drove the 3 and a half hours to our home. While we were together, we celebrated Dad’s birthday, which was very close to the date of the wedding. After the festivities, we surprised Dad with “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” Travis and Mom shared the story of the way they’d been able to learn Dad’s favorites and use them as inspiration. Then, all of us who were there helped to share the song with Dad for the first time. Our daughter, Meredith, sang Soprano with me. Mom and Linda sang alto. Rich and Travis handled the men’s parts while Travis accompanied on piano. It was an all-family production, and Dad seemed to be blown away. Travis told him that he would contact the Choir Director at Mom and Dad’s church to see if the premiere of the anthem could take place at their home church with their own church choir.
The date of the anthem premiere at Mom and Dad’s church (pictured here) was in November of 2003. Dad had a few months of feeling really good over the Spring and Summer of 2003, and on into the early Fall. He even felt well enough to drive all the way to South Carolina to visit relatives for almost a month, play a lot of golf, and drive back to Oklahoma. However, by October, the chemo that had been well tolerated had stopped working. The next regimen he was placed on seemed to immediately sap his strength, and it later became apparent that his heart had been damaged. By the time Travis and I and our two boys drove down for the premiere week-end, Dad had already lost both his hair (which had grown back w/ the former chemo med) and his strength. He was pale and not feeling very well, but he did make it to church that Sunday morning. The church had chosen to use the occasion of the anthem premiere to say ‘thank you’ to my Dad for his years of faithful service as a Sunday School teacher and in many other capacities. Dad was rather embarrassed about this. He felt that there were many others in the church who had served just as faithfully. My Mom and Travis and I sang in the choir. My sister, Linda, was able to come, and she sat with Dad, as did our son, Jared, age 10, who had just lost his other Grandpa in May of that same year. Dozens of Dad’s friends and colleagues were there, as well as his church family. Everyone present that morning heard the gospel message clearly presented as “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” was sung by a choir for the first time. The song is much more than a tribute to one man. It is a testimony of God’s saving grace demonstrated in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Travis had submitted “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” to one of his publishers, and he got word that it had been accepted for publication by the Lorenz Corporation in the Spring of 2004. My dad was very pleased to know that. The anthem went to press bearing a first page inscription in honor of my Dad. Travis had also been asked by Lorenz to write a full orchestration for the anthem, as he had done for “God is Faithful” previously. So, when “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life” was published as an SATB anthem, Travis’ full orchestration for it was published as well. Both are still available from Lorenz Music. (See info below)
Dad passed away in the Fall of 2004, less than a year after the anthem premiere at his church. The lyrics to “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” were read by Dad and Mom’s Pastor at his memorial service. Singing was never Dad’s thing (though he could whistle beautifully). He left the singing to other members of the family, though he did his best in the congregation at his church. He always had an appreciation for music and for the power of words. We hope that his heart was touched by this gift of his favorite expressions of spiritual truth, combined with new words and music. Our hearts were touched and challenged by his life and by his brave battle with cancer. And, far beyond anything that we could ask or think, we pray that the message of “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” will continue to touch the hearts of people around the world.
NOTE: “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life” was on the Lorenz best-sellers list after it was released, and it continues to be a well-loved anthem for choirs all over the world (translated into 3 languages that we know of). There are Youtube and Vimeo videos that we have discovered of choirs singing the anthem in English, Mandarin, Korean, and Italian. See additional information below.
Here is the audio from my Sound Cloud set of Pulisher’s Demo Recordings of the Lorenz Studio Demo of “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” See the publisher’s info page link below for ordereing the music.
LYRICS FOR “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!”
There is a love sent down to man,
A rugged cross, a spotless lamb,
A life laid down, a sacrifice.
Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!
Here’s the first page of “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!”, published by the Lorenz Corporation (Monarch Division). The inscription at the top reads, “Dedicated to Dr. Harold McCoy White, in celebration of 38 years of faithful service as a layman of The First United Methodist Church, Weatherford, Oklahoma.
There is a hope beyond the grave,
With love so deep and pow’r to save.
Rising above all earthly strife,
Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!
There is a peace that all can know.
It calms the heart and heals the soul.
“Come unto Me!,” the Savior cries!
Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!
(bridge – a paraphrase of John 3:16 – 17)
God so loved the world that He gave His Son,
For us to believe in Him.
For the Son was not sent to condemn the world,
But to save us from our sin.
There is a home prepared for all
Who on the name of Jesus call.
A place of rest, a throne on high!
Amazing grace! Eternal life!

TRANSLATED INTO MANDARIN LANGUAGE: “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” has been translated into Mandarin Chinese and included in a book for Chinese choirs. It has been posted on Youtube by choirs from several churches singing in Mandarin.
The youtube videos are a little hard to find because as soon as you type in “Amazing Grace,” hundreds of versions of that song come up first, but here’s one of our favorite videos of the anthem in the Chinese language, sung by the choir at the Mandarin Baptist Church of Los Angeles, California: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYnchYmXVoI)
Here are the lyrics to “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” in Chinese characters:
TRANSLATED INTO KOREAN: “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!’ has also been translated into Korean. Numerous Korean churches have posted videos of their choirs singing this anthem on YouTube. The video below is of the Choir and Orchestra from New York Presbyterian Church.
TRANSLATED INTO ITALIAN: In the video below, the Coro Tre Ponti (Three Bridges Choir), directed by Rino Adam, is singing “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” in Italian at the Festa di San Giorgio (@ Terdobbate, Italy, April 21st, 2013). This is the only video we’ve found of “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” in Italian. We are not sure whether other choirs have access to this translation, “Sorprendente Grazia! Eterno Vita!”
The Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma, The Singing Churchwomen of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma Baptist Symphony share worship anthems, including “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life”) at the “Foundations” worship concert, directed by Dr. Bill Green. Over 700 musicians filled the platform, the staircases leading to the balcony on both sides of the platform, and the first section of pews on both sides of the platform. What a glorious night of praise!
“FOUNDATIONS” CD and DVD RECORDINGS:“Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” was chosen as part of the concert repertoire for the ‘Foundations’ concert presented by The Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma, The Singing Churchwomen of Oklahoma, and the Oklahoma Baptist Symphony, directed by Dr. Bill Green, in May, 2005. The entire concert was recorded on both a CD and a DVD called “Foundations.” Our post about the blessings of worshipping together all through the day of rehearsals and the evening’s concert at this event is called, “The Blessings of Worshipping Together.” There is a photo of the event included in the post as well. Here is the link to that post: https://worshipsounds.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/blessings-through-worshipping-together/
TITLE SONG ON RECORDING BY TOURING GROUP: “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” has also been recorded by The Farrells, a ministry of the Tom Farrell Evangelistic Foundation, as the title song on one of their CDs.
One website that offers this CD can be found at http://www.mbbcbookstore.com/SPD/amazing-grace–eternal-life—9015751555667820287.jsp
My mother and several of her friends were able to attend the “Foundations” concert and hear the song that was first inspired by my Dad’s favorites as it was being sung and played by over 700 musicians. The ladies loved the entire worship concert, and especially “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” My Dad would have enjoyed that evening as well, but he probably would still have cherished the initial family performance of the anthem and the premiere at the church where he and Mom had attended and served for decades even more.
Happy 80th Birthday, Dad!
I wrote this to honor the Lord and in your memory.

“But I trust in You. O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” Psalm 31:14
At WorshipSounds Music,
we are introducing the powerful new SATB Anthem and Modern Hymn, called “A Prayer for the Saints” !
This incredible message has been brilliantly arranged for your choir. You’ll love the recurring motif in the piano accompaniment and marvel at the smooth harmonic transition in the second modulation. Even more importantly, the lyric content is a profound prayer, expressing the heart cry of every Christian who longs to grow closer to God and to become more like Jesus.
The melody is beautiful and singable, making this modern hymn very appropriate for congregational worship. As a result, “A Prayer for the Saints” is currently available in two formats on our Boydbrain Music website:
** The powerful SATB Anthem PDF is available for $15.00, with permission to make an unlimited number of copies (for your choir and accompanists only).
** A Worship Pak for “A Prayer for the Saints” is available for $10.00. It includes a lead sheet for rhythm section, a reproducible hymn sheet (bulletin or hymnal size), and a Vocal/Piano score.
Subtitled “Your Saving Grace,” “A Prayer for the Saints” is in the current repertoire of The Sons of Jubal, a large mens’ choral group sponsored by the Georgia Baptist Convention and consisting primarily of Ministers of Music and Worship (and others who faithfully participate in local church worship ministry) from all over the state of Georgia. The Sons of Jubal Director, Dr. Jon K. Duncan, chose “A Prayer for the Saints” as the theme for the group’s annual Rehearsal & Renewal Retreat in early January, 2012. The men in this amazing choral group will be sharing this anthem in monthly concerts throughout the year, and the piece will be included in the concert repertoire for a trip to Korea (not South!) in a April. The Sons of Jubal have been invited as a featured group at a large choral festival. Prayers for this endeavor are greatly appreciated!
Ministers of Music and Worship from all over the state of Georgia, who have heard “A Prayer for the Saints” as a result of their involvement in The Sons of Jubal, have ordered this powerful prayer anthem for their choirs. At our home church, Travis introduced it first as a Vocal Solo. Our wonderful Adult Choir has also sung the SATB anthem version of “A Prayer for the Saints,” and our congregation has shared in this message as a worship hymn. In the local church environment, many of our members have commented on the lyrics of this Kingdom message. Our prayer is that this piece could have an impact all over the world, expressing the deepest longings of God’s people everywhere.
Your Choir could begin learning “A Prayer for the Saints” at your next rehearsal. Or, if you do not have a choral group at your church, you can introduce this modern prayer hymn as a Vocal Solo and then use it for congregational worship. Our Worship Pak contains everything that you will need (reproducible hymnal or bulletin size song sheet, reproducible lead sheet, and Vocal/Piano Score).
To see and hear the music, you can view the Video Demo for “A Prayer for the Saints”, go to our WorshipSounds Music website. You’ll find “A Prayer for the Saints” on our “Adult Choir” music page. Here’s the link to the website: http://www.worshipsounds.com
ALTERNATE VOICING AVAILABLE! The TTBB arrangement, as sung by The Sons of Jubal, under the direction of Dr. Jon Duncan, and The Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma, under the direction of Dr. Randy Lind, is also on our website.
A Full Orchestrationis also available for this anthem!

Worship Sounds Music Blog Blessings of Faith. Songs of Worship, Life of Joy!
The Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma will always be such a special group of brothers for me. As a member of the Churchmen for over 18 years, I have very close friendships with so many of the fine Ministers of Music and Worship in this group. We’ve travelled around the world together, sharing the good news of Christ though music, testimony, and every other way imaginable. I’ve been to Russia, Estonia, Latvia, China, Hong Kong, and Australia with this group. It has been a joy and a blessing to know these men, worship together with them during rehearsal times and concert performances, and then serve with them in other mission opportunities. One of the things that is most special about this talented group is their love for the Lord and for each other. These brothers pray for one another and are willing to help any of the group that may have a major need. We’ve seen God answer so many prayers. We’ve prayed for healing for each other, for those who were seeking a place of service, for family situations, and for God to use our efforts to glorify Himself. We’ve also prayed for doors to open in the countries to which we’ve travelled. There were often large stumbling blocks that could have been a real problem for our group and our ministry; but time after time, we saw God answer the prayers for open doors in really miraculous ways. For example, our group made the trip to Russia, Estonia, and Latvia just after the fall of Communism, in Spring of 1993. We were even able to minister and share the gospel in public schools, which was really amazing.
In our ministry as a group and in our individual lives, all of the Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma could testify to the faithfulness of our God. I was inspired to write a song about God’s faithfulness in my life, and I shared it with Dr. Bill Green, who was then the Director of both The Singing Churchmen and The Singing Churchwomen of Oklahoma. Brother Bill loved “God is Faithful” and made it part of our concert repertoire for several years. The next time the Churchmen recorded a CD, “God is Faithful” became the title song. The song was eventually published by the Monarch division of Lorenz music, and I have no idea at this point how many churches are still singing it. I do hear from people regularly about how this song has touched their lives. That’s the biggest blessing of all. It’s a wonderful privelege to be able to share this message of God’s faithfulness with my brothers in Christ in both Oklahoma and Georgia. The Sons of Jubal also have sung “God is Faithful,” and it became the title song of one of their CD’s (recorded in a different year & with different repertoire from the Churchmen CD). In addition, The Singing Churchwomen of Oklahoma have sung “God is Faithful” in many church concerts. It was also sung in Australia during our Singing Churchmen mission trip, but not by the men. The wives who went along on the mission trip to Australia in 2003 had their own choir, with over 80 of the women choosing to participate. They divided into 2 choirs for some events and sang together for others. These women gave concerts in churches all over the Sydney area (even in nearby seaside communities such as Cronulla) and then all over the Brisbane area, even singing at a pineapple canning factory. They were the groups that were singing “God is Faithful” in Australia, though everyone who went on that trip could testify to God’s faithfulness in so many ways.
Many times, the message of “God is Faithful” has ministered to Cindy and I as we have faced trials. She has said that in the messages God inspires me to write, He knows the message that we will need to hear at some point in our future. If the song “God is Faithful” has been a blessing to you, remember that it is not the song itself that is the source of blessing. It’s the TRUTH of the message of this song that makes it so meaningful to those of us who are walking with the Lord. What a blessing it is to know that our God is faithful in all things, and that he is ever-present in our lives!
“God IS faithful. He will not forget His own. God is faithful…He’ll never leave you all alone! He’s right beside you, waiting to guide you; for the One who called you is faithful. God is faithful…when the valley is so low. God is faithful…whereever He leads you to go! Cast your cares on Him, and rest within His loving arms. For the One who called you is faithful. God IS faithful ! ” (Lyrics to the chorus from “God is Faithful”)
Here is the audio from my Sound Cloud of the recording of “God is Faithful” made by The Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma as the title song of one of their CDs.

*** THE PASADENA TABERNACLE SONGSTERS *** The testimony of others can be uplifting and encouraging to believers. That’s really our main task… our mission… to share the good news about the love of God, His gift of salvation, and how He continues in relationship with His children, at work in our lives in ways that we often don’t even see. We must share these truths and the difference that knowing Him has made in our lives with those who don’t know the Lord and also with each other. We never know how the Lord may use our personal salvation or faith walk story in the lives of others. As Christians, sometimes the testimonies that help to strengthen our faith walk are from people that we know personally. At other times, we may read them in a book or magazine, hear them on the radio, in a movie or television show… or even in a song!
The group in this photo takes the mission of sharing their testimony of faith very seriously. They are the Pasadena Tabernacle Songsters from the Salvation Army’s Pasadena, CA, Tabernacle. This group has recorded several CD’s and does a major mission trip every year. They recorded Travis’ SAB Anthem, “Children of Light,” (published by Shawnee Press / Hal Leonard) on their “New Day” CD just prior to a mission trip to Australia and New Zealand. The CD is still available at this link: http://www.tabsongsters.org/previous.html , along with their current CD, “Amazing Grace” and several other previous CDs. Travis’ anthem, “Children of Light” is song #12 on the “New Day” CD (yellow cover), and the text is a perfect description of the testimony of this group: “Saved by grace, walking in faith, following Jesus Christ…we are the children of Light!”
Here is the audio from my Sound Cloud of the Pasadena Tabernacle Songsters’ recording of “Children of Light”. Although this anthem has also been recorded by others, the Pasadena Tabernacle Songsters are the only group which has recorded the song with the full Orchestration. Because the Publisher, Shawnee Press, had not requested or published an Orchestration, the group’s director contacted Travis and commissioned him to write a Full Orchestration for this recording and for all of the times that the song has been shared on mission trips and in their home church. (See the note about availablility below.)
Note: The Orchestration heard on the Pasadena Tabernacle Songsters’ recording of “Children of Light”, commissioned by the Choir’s Director specifically for their recording project and mission trip repertoire, remains unpublished. Travis contacted the publisher after finishing the Orchestration to see if they wanted to publish it. However, the publisher declined. It is, unfortunately, not available for purchase since the song is under Shawnee Press / Hal Leonard copyright and the commissioned orchestration is owned by the group (though they were willing for it to be published).
The decision to ask Jesus to come into your heart and life as your Lord and Savior is the best decision you could ever make!
