As we head towards Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, we are excited to introduce a new song called It Was Finished Upon That Cross. This song of praise focuses on Christ’s death and finished work on the cross as well as His resurrection. We can praise God because we have also been resurrected from the dead spiritually and now have new live in Him! We look forward to singing this song on March 1 at Rosemont as we head toward the Easter season.

We are excited to introduce a new song called All Praise to Him. This song gives praise for each of the three parts of the Trinity. The song discusses the Father’s sovereign power and tender care, the Son’s all sufficient sacrifice, and the Holy Spirit’s power within our hearts. As we head into the Thanksgiving season, this song is a great reminder to give praise to God for His wondrous works to the children of men. We look forward to introducing this song on Sunday, November 2 at Rosemont!

As we continue our study through the gospel of Luke, we are excited to introduce a new song. The song Turn Your Eyes borrows some of the tune from the hymn Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus and focuses on Christ’s death, resurrection, and future return for His people. Our focus and gaze should always be on Christ, and this song reminds us that the things of this earth grow dim in the light of His glory and grace. We will introduce this song on Sunday, September 14 at Rosemont, and we look forward to singing this as a congregation!

As believers, we look forward to the day when we all will be with Christ forever. On that day, we will all sing praises to the Lord because He reigns over all things. The song The Lord Almighty Reigns focuses on the praises that believers will sing to our Almighty God. The chorus of this song comes directly from Revelation 19 which shows a great multitude in heaven praising God “like the roar of mighty seas” for Babylon’s destruction in the end times. Because God reigns over all, we have nothing to fear. We look forward to introducing this song at Rosemont on November 3!

Many songs that we sing as the church are focused on praising God for the good that He has done in our lives and for how great and awesome He is. However, even in the Psalms, David cries out in sorrow during the trials that he endures. As believers, we can know that God is our Help and our Rock, and we can praise Him even when trials abound. The song Lord from Sorrows Deep I Call (Psalm 42) is based on David’s Psalm written in a time of great distress. We will be introducing this song on September 1 at Rosemont, and we hope this will be a song of encouragement to us as God is always our shelter even when our soul is troubled.

Who has held the oceans in his hands or numbered every grain of sand? The answer is obvious. No ordinary human has done these things. Only God can perform these wondrous deeds. The song Behold Our God shows us that our God is so much greater than any of us can fathom. He is seated on His throne and ruling over all things. Nothing can compare to our God. We are excited to learn this song as a congregation at Rosemont on June 9, 2024. Let us all adore our God who has created all things and redeemed sinful man.

As we continue our study in Ephesians, we are excited to introduce a new song called All Sufficient Merit. Because of Christ’s work on the cross, we have inherited a fortune, not by works of righteousness that we have done. We have been redeemed and no longer owe any debt for our sin. Because of the Father’s sovereign plan, the all sufficient merit is now our own! We look forward to singing this song on April 7, 2024 at Rosemont.

As we enter into a new year, there is so much to praise God for. The song Rejoice reminds us that we should praise God in every season for each breath He has given to us. We can “rejoice and be anxious for nothing” because we know Christ is The Shepherd of our lives. We are excited to introduce this triumphant song of praise on February 11, 2024 at Rosemont! We hope this will be a song to help us live out James 5:13, “Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise” (ESV).

As we enter the Christmas season, we are excited to introduce a new song called O Come, All You Unfaithful. This song was written during a time of hurt after the author lost a child. On a Sunday before Christmas, her church was singing O Come All Ye Faithful, and in her state of loss and despair, she did not feel like she was being faithful. This song was written to remind us that we sometimes are not faithful. We are weak, tired, unstable, and guilty, but God sent Christ for those who were not faithful to Him. Christ was born and slain for the pardon of those who are unfaithful. We look forward to singing this song together on Sunday, December 3, 2023 at Rosemont!

We are excited to introduce a new song called How Great which is based on Psalm 145. David focuses this Psalm on giving God glory at all times as He is a great God and greatly to be praised. David’s song of praise focuses on God’s attributes such as omnipotence, mercy, and sovereignty. We always enjoy singing songs straight from Scripture, and this new tune written for a Psalm will help us to sing a song of praise from God’s Word as a congregation. We look forward to introducing this song on Sunday, October 8, 2023 at Rosemont!

For the next few weeks on Sunday mornings, our study in Genesis will be focused on Abraham and Isaac. The song Christ the True and Better shows how Christ is the true and better Adam, Isaac, Moses, and David, and each verse of the song highlights a different one of these men from the Old Testament. Christ was tempted, but never sinned like Adam. He humbly offered His life like Isaac, but He was the perfect sacrifice for us. Christ calls to lead His people home like Moses, and is the better David as the Good Shepherd and Mighty King. From beginning to end, Christ gets the glory for all things. We look forward to singing this song with everyone at Rosemont as we start to look at Isaac in Genesis on Sunday, July 30, 2023.

As we continue our sermon series through Genesis, we are reminded constantly of how our Lord is unlike anyone or anything else. He sovereignly controls all things and carries out His plans for His glory. The chorus of the song The Lord is My Salvation asks the question, “Who is like the Lord our God?”, and the response is that He is “strong to save [and] faithful in love”. We can rejoice because our sin debt is paid in full by the Lord of our Salvation, who knew us in Christ before the foundation of the world. We are excited to introduce this song on Sunday, May 28 as we praise the God who has shown us so much grace in saving us!

As we get closer to the Easter season, we are excited to introduce the song Your Will Be Done on Sunday, March 25. The lyrics start with Christ in the garden saying, “Father, not My will but Yours be done”, and the focus turns to how the church should have the same response as we seek to bring God glory in all things. We will also sing this song again on Easter Sunday as it focuses on Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.

We are excited to introduce the song Come To Jesus (Rest In Him) to the Rosemont congregation on Sunday, February 5. The lyrics of this song are a reminder for those who are weary, heavy laden, and going through trials and temptations. We can be comforted that Jesus, our Tender Shepherd and Mighty Savior, gives us peace, and we can rest in Him.
