GOSPEL

Free sheet music, freely reproducible scores, royalty free performance

My mission is to write songs for the global Christian community. On this website you can find demo recordings provided with scores for a band with one or more singers, piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, electric bass, and two violins. The difficulty level is from easy to intermediate. Feel free to reproduce the scores and make your own arrangements—just don't change the words or the melody. Lyrics translations must be approved by me before publishing.

My intentions are totally non-commercial and you don't have to worry about paying me any fees or royalties for using the songs found on this page (I haven't authorized any copyright organization to act on my behalf either). Just remember to mention my name as the songwriter and copyright owner.

The instruments in the demo recordings are not real but provided by Avid Sibelius 7 Sounds library and the computer plays them from the score. Thus, the notation is quite detailed. If you would like to edit the scores to suit better your purposes, you can request my original Sibelius files by email.

You may also use and reproduce the attached devotional texts freely.

Yours in Christ,
Eero Kettunen

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

DEMO ALBUM AND SHEET MUSIC ACCOMPANIED BY DEVOTIONALS

Jesus is there for us all. Our feelings and doings are not stable, but He is. We are incapable of doing anything right without Him. You can always go to Jesus, whatever your situation is, or has been. He knows every single human being and their doings. He made a great sacrifice to give His life for us, because of our sins. He knows you are a sinner and still welcomes you! Take His hand and let Jesus lead you and your life to the direction He wants!

He Is There for Me

Growing as a Christian is not a trivial thing at all. No matter how strong believer you think you are, some day you may find yourself in a situation, where you have no idea about what God wants from you, or why God has allowed you to experience extremely hard times. Our faith is tested in hardships and God can use rough methods to shape our character. He knows what we need and what are the best ways to deal with us and our growth. Try not to lose your faith when the hard times come, but don't deny your feelings either. Tell God how you feel and ask for His help and guidance.

I Don't Know How to Grow

What's the most important thing in your life? How long is your life anyway... about hundred years at maximum. It's like nothing compared to eternity. Shouldn't the most important thing in your life relate to eternity and where you will spend it. Eternal life with God sounds more appealing to me than eternal separation from Him. That's why the most important thing in my life is to have Jesus to take me, when the time comes, to Heaven. The Bible tells us that in Heaven we have everything we need.

The Most Important Thing

Jesus died on cross to give us access to eternal life. This song is about confessing sins and asking for forgiveness. God forgives us because He let Jesus pay the penalty. When we are forgiven, the sins we confessed do not anymore have power to keep us away from God. Recognizing sin in our lives as well as every confession are part of our growth as Christians. It's surprising how God is willing to give us new beginnings after our failures and guide us further in our lives. Would you be the one to tell people, who don't know how to get right with God, that they can call Jesus to help them! — The words in this song are prayer to God. "You" refers to God, "He" refers to Jesus. However, God works in Jesus and through Jesus. The Bible says that they are one.

You Surprise Me

We can read God's straight words from the Bible, but God also speaks to us through the natural world He has created. The more I study the nature, the more I learn about God's sovereignty. It is no problem for Him to do all those miraculous things the Bible tells us about. Should it be a problem to God, for example, to make a virgin pregnant? God has given the nature for us to be studied as well as enjoyed. So enjoy, God is your provider!

In God's World

Do you believe that Jesus is Lord? Do you believe that no matter what you have done, Jesus' sacrifice on the cross will cover it? Do you believe that no matter how well you have behaved in the past or how well you are behaving now, you still are a sinner and need forgiveness? Do you believe that you need Jesus in order to be forgiven? Do you believe that "anyone who believes in God's Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will never experience eternal life" (John 3:36)? — Do you believe that the faith discussed above is given to you as a free gift, and there's no way to earn it? If you don't have that gift yet, just know that Jesus is waiting at your heart's door with the gift! You can ask Him to enter your life, even if you have doubts! You can do it right now.
