King of Grace 10 Year Anniversary Contest and Song Giveaway

Posted by: Bob Kauflin In: —Arranging|—Contests|—Song Downloads|—Sovereign Grace Music

king-of-graceTen years ago Sovereign Grace Music released King of Grace. It immediately became one of our most popular recordings.

It features twelve songs that cover themes including the gospel, justification, the cross, evangelism, sanctification, heaven, and passion for God. The musical moods range from joyful celebration to quiet reflection. Although the songs are 10 years old, we’ve continued to use a number of them.

But a lot has happened in the last ten years musically. These songs were arranged in the late nineties and I’d love to hear fresh arrangements of them.

So we’re going to have a contest.

I’m giving away two free registrations to WorshipGod11 (Aug. 10-13) to the person who can come up with the most creative arrangement of one of the songs on King of Grace.

The arrangement can alter anything but the basic melody and lyrics of a song. Along with creativity, I’ll also be looking for how the arrangement complements and supports the song. Good production won’t hurt either. Here’s all you have to do:

1. Post your new arrangement on YouTube by Dec. 31. Doesn’t have to be flashy, just audible.
2. Share your YouTube link in the comments section of this post. Or you can send it using the “contact me” tab above.
3. Wait for the winner to be announced on Jan. 12, 2011 on my blog.

Here are the songs on the album:

1. Your Great Renown
2. King of Grace
3. Your Redeeming Love
4. The Glory of the Cross
5. Behold the Lamb
6. At the Foot of the Cross
7. Your Praise Will Never Cease
8. Join All the Glorious Names
9. In You Alone
10. In My Heart
11. You Are My Everything
12. You Have Captured Me

Another way we’re celebrating the ten year anniversary of King of Grace is by giving away three song downloads: Your Great Renown, Behold the Lamb, and The Glory of the Cross.

AND…we’re selling the entire album for $6 through the end of the year. Enjoy!

You can also listen to a streaming version here.

Argh! What a dilemma!

I love this album so much and many of the songs were so significant in my life that I can’t imagine them any other way. But I’d love to have a go.

When you say “basic melody”, what do you mean? So we can mess with the melody a bit, then – just nothing that totally alters it? I ask because, as good as much of SGM’s music his, I tend to chuckle a bit when listening to this one… no offense intended. I’d love to take a shot at this, though…

Btw… I chuckle because it DOES need to be updated – for clarities sake, I add that. I didn’t really connect with SGM production until “Valley of Vision”…

One of my favorite albums by Sovereign Grace Music. I have the entire album imported on my ipod.:) I would to see who would win this contest(I am not a composer or an arranger, and I would probably not be able to go to the conference anyway. Sorry this sounds like a bunch of excuses;))

To get things rolling, readers might be interested in the radical take on “You Have Captured Me” that the Na Band and Voice (Curt Allen) recorded several years ago, alternating the song’s verse and chorus with rapped verses. The mp3 is 99 cents at

Bob, thank you so much for this great challenge. I was saved at Covenant Life and your prophesy during “All I Have in Christ” was a central part of that day Aug. 23rd, 2009. I haven’t been able to stop playing my simple, straight ahead version of Behold the Lamb over the past 2-3 weeks, so I felt I had to enter. I hope my voice and my effort bring glory to God despite my significant musical and vocal weakness! Thank you again for this opportunity! Amen!

Unfortunately, I’ll have to pull out.

My wrist was broken in a soccer match about a week after my initial comment. I had managed to work out an arrangement and put down some drums and guitar for “The Glory of the Cross”, but there is no hope of finishing it in time. If I come back to it after I finish physiotherapy, I’ll submit it anyway, even with the deadline passed – the reward of labour is entirely sufficient!

Cheers!

Lord, willing I will give a stab at one or two songs. I will try and do King of Grace or Join all the Glorious Names and keep it some what close to the original but arranged different. And then maybe the song, At the Foot of the Cross, I might take a risk and make it completely different. .

Great songs, and a great idea for a competition!
I first heard these songs as a 15year-old while in transition from North Carolina, to deep in the heart of Mexico with my missionary family. I still have a faded copy of the song book, with which I spent many glorious hours praising God, and struggling through the bar chords in the key of E.
Before I heard of the competition I had just downloaded the MP3s, and “Behold the Lamb” hit me like a ton of bricks. Here is my rendition, nowhere near as professional, but still its been a great challenge to work on.

I am not sure why, but the YouTube audio I posted is a bit ‘warbally’. (Is that a real word?!) Not sure what I did to cause that. In any case, I emailed a ‘less warbally’ mp3.

Well, even if nothing comes of this I see two great benefits personally…
Mark’s words in this song brought me to tears several times as I arranged this. So powerful and vivid to think of our Savior crowned with thorns and then to think of laying our crowns before him. I can only hope the music is as epic as the reality of the truth in the words!
Second benefit, I have a really good start on my first arrangement for our choir for resurrection Sunday!
Happy New Year everyone, may it be filled with love for our King.

Bob, I finally had time (and the healed wrist) to finish the song.

It has been further delayed, as I was entirely unhappy with my vocals. Someone much more able than myself currently serving on the worship team graciously was willing to sing the song, and I think it’s much better for it! Unfortunately, it was recorded in my apartment, which is effectively made of cement and sheet rock (you can imagine what this does to things like vocals and acoustic guitars).

Nevertheless, it was a lot of fun to do and a joy to probe the depths of this fantastic song a bit more:
