Craig Pitman - Ruler Of The Nations

"Ruler of the Nations"
Words and Music by Craig Pitman
© 1987 Craig Pitman
This song was first recorded in 1987 on a long-since out-of-print recording project I did on my coffee table with an old Tascam Porta-One recorder. Later, the song was recorded again, this time professionally as part of "Pilgrim's Praise", a collaborative project I did with fellow singer/songwriter, Judy Rogers.
Of all the songs I've written over the years for congregational worship, I believe this one has been the most embraced and used and I am grateful to God for that. Truly, if I stand, it is only in Jesus.
Soli Deo Gloria.

Love it. Reminds me of the days at my grandmother's where we'd sit around the living room and sing along with you!
Great video. Thanks!!

Has this been published, arranged for SATB harmony? Beautiful song, Craig!

Thanks. I don't have an SATB version. I do have a pdf of a lead sheet for worship teams and a 1-page handout for congregations; it has the melody and on the chorus a 3-part harmonization. Most of the churches I've served have not been "choral-centric" so I haven't had the need for strict SATB, plus the footprint of the songs, not being traditional structured hymnody, make multi-page SATB versions a bit unwieldy (imo) for congregations; I've found it better to just rely on their ear's ability to either stay on the melody or just pick out a harmony. I'll be glad to send you both if you like.
