I composed the hymns listed on this page (since 1978) as I have prepared worship services and sermons using the
scriptures of the Revised Common Lectionary.
Worship aids using the Revised Common Lectionary may also be found at the website
The United
Methodist Board of Discipleship.
Below is the alphabetical listing of hymns. No special software or plug-ins are required.
Each hymn can be heard as an mp3, viewed as a png graphic and downloaded as a pdf.

In my work as a United Methodist pastor over the past
45 years
I have been writing poetry and hymns for the scriptures of the Revised Common
Lectionary, a three-year list of scriptures that is being used by
The United
Methodist Church, The United Presbyterian Church, The United Church of Christ,
the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, the American Baptist Church, the
Roman Catholic Church, and other denominations.
As I continue to write these hymns I am careful to use inclusive
language and use the best
biblical interpretation I can muster.
This continues to be a work in progress. I would
be happy to hear from you as you look at these hymns.
