Many genres, Contemporary Christian, Lyrics, instrumentals
I write my own songs ;) I have a very diverse taste in music, from Pop to Classical, including Rock, Folk, Jazz, Country, World Music (Celtic, Romanian), Old Timey Stringband/Bluegrass, and Latin. All these styles are in my Christian Contemporary catagory. I usually write the music first, and then put words to the music. Though I don't sing good enough yet, I though I would put my instrumentals out along with my music. Generally, I think my music/lyrics are getting better, being more skilled now than when I started.

Story behind the song
The first verse of this song is a setting of Psalm 117, the shortest psalm in the bible. But having got going, it seems a pity not to take a bit of a tour of the instruments of the music group, and praise the Lord on each of them. So the idea is that the printed words give some indications of how the group might join together, and music groups are welcome to add their own instruments in similar verses, for as long as they wish to sing and play.
Lyrics
Shout To the Lord! Shout to the Lord! Bring him your praise! Worship and dance, all nations! Shout to the Lord, all of your days! Bring him your adorations! Chorus: For great is his love towards us his people, Steadfast and sure his endless mercies! Great is his love towards us his people, Faithful are all of his ways! Sound to the Lord! Trumpet and harp! Praise on the pipe, all nations! Sing to the Lord! Keep your voice sharp! Bring him your adorations! (chorus) Crash to the Lord! Cymbals and gongs! Praise on the strings, all nations! Sing to the Lord! Anthems and songs! Bring him your adorations! (chorus) Sound to the Lord! Keyboard and flutes! Praise on the horns, all nations! Play to the Lord, cellos and lutes! Bring him your adorations! (chorus) Fanfare the Lord! Horns and trombones! Praise on the brass, all nations! Strike to the Lord, high Xylophones! Bring him your adorations! (chorus) Words copyright © John Hartley 2008. Tune copyright © Dave Davis 2008. Based on Psalms 117 and 150.
