New Song: Come, Lift Your Voice to Christ the King (A Song of Thanksgiving)
I composed a thanksgiving song! The first I have ever done!
Ummm…
Okay, maybe one or two… or seven… seven? … before that.
I guess I just like being thankful. Truly.
New this time is a song called “Come, Lift Your Voice to Christ the King,” written in
collaboration with Katherine Wright. Katherine has provided the scores in solo, duet, and SATB formats. She has also included a flute obbligato which I just love.
Here’s the solo version, sung by Rebecca Lord, with flute by Brenda Lord.
I am so thankful to work with these amazing musicians. I am truly blessed.
As for the next song? Well, I’m afraid the coffer is empty. I have relied on my husband, my friends, and various music professionals (shout out to Daniel Bloomberg and Dave Zimmerman) to help me finish up the last songs in my files. I need to get my self (and my language… and my piano playing skills… and… and… and…) in order.
It may a take me a good, long while. After that, who knows?

Thank you so much for your gifts. May our God provide you with strength, courage and reassurance as you face what’s next.
Wonderful. We need this in our hymnbooks.
Sally, I have been a huge fan of yours for several decades! As a composer and arranger myself, I truly appreciate the consecration of your talents to the Lord and your constant efforts to allow others to be able to enjoy your works for free! I try in my own way to offer many of my arrangements and compositions for free via sacredsheetmusic.org. I direct a 50 – voice community choir in the Garland, UT LDS Tabernacle and if you don’t mind, I would like to program your SATB arrangement of this beautiful piece! May heaven’s light continue to inspire you to share your incredible gifts with the world! Sincerely, Brian D. Petersen
This is so beautiful and I am so happy to hear it! Praying for your continued recovery. Happy holidays!
Musical Excellence in regard to the musical arrangement – an overall Thanksgiving vibe – joyous and with gratitude.
The text supports the lyrical moments with truth and simple grace. The flute solo weaves a lovely path of beauty.
Sally – please contact me I am found on Facebook and have been published by Lorenz Schuamn and FJH.
I wish to share and send my musical compositions to you – free – no charge – just sharing because you have uplifted my soul numerous times!!!
Happy 🇨🇦🎶🎵 Thanksgiving. Ours is in 2 weeks. Wonderful words and music!
As ever Sally, your music is the song my heart wants to sing. I am grateful for you and your support so long ago.
That child has blossomed into a lovely adult. And will marry in May of 2027. Whew.
May you continue to find joy in your talents.
We will meet at Jesus’ feet. With mustard, because it’s yellow. LOL
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Much tender love. Jana
It makes me happy to have you back! May you continue to heal! Much to my surprise, I was called as choir director more than 20 years ago. I loved and used many of your songs during my eight years in that calling. My awesome accompanist would often roll his eyes when I handed him one of your new songs, but he always came through. I am now 81 years old and can no longer even sing in a choir, but I still love your music! God bless you as you continue to recover! You are a great blessing to the world of church music!
Very beautiful song. GOD BLESS YOU and ALL YOUR BEAUTIFUL SONGS.
Sally, you are an angel. Your music has blessed so many lives. Your legacy will go on forever. My choirs and my family have sung your beautiful songs for many years. I’m sending you love and hugs and a grateful heart. Take care of yourself and get well.

Sally,
Your testimony truly shines through your music. Every song is an inspiration. Thank you for sharing so generously.
This is a beautiful song! I can’t wait to play my flute with a vocalist and pianist.
Thank you!
What a great song. My life will never be empy – thanks to your friendship and talents. Hang in there my friend, and please let me know if I can help in any way.
