This brand new song from The Many is such a gift to us all right now. The song acknowledges some of the heartbreaking realities of injustice and cruelty that confront us, such as the separation of families at U.S. borders. The lyrics validate our sorrow and frustration with the fact that even though we pray and work for justice, we humans keep losing our way and causing each other so much unnecessary pain. But as always, The Many reminds us that God is with us and sustaining us and leading us in the midst of heartache and loss. In other words, God comes to us--"again and again"-- in the middle of our brokenness and bewilderment, and gives us courage and strength to keep living, loving, and working for change. There is a great video available for this song that is perfect for virtual worship! CCLI #716829 Learn More

"All Belong Here" is a new kind of call to communion, a call to remember who we are, and how much we are loved. It is a song that sees the Lord's Table as a place where we all belong. It reminds us that the whole world is God's table, where we can eat and be filled, where we can drink in the grace. Learn More

In the spirit of John Bell and Taize, here is a new 2 or 3 part round that can be sung unaccompanied or with a band and/or choir and congregation. It's a setting from The Many of the powerful words of God’s care for us in Matthew 7:7. "Ask and it shall be given. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened.” If you have never tried to sing a round with your congregation, this is a place to start. This is also a great song to use as a table grace, before congregational dinners or in small groups or family dinners. Learn More

When we gather around the communion table, we experience not just the body of Christ “on the table” but also the “body of Christ” represented by all of us who “gather around the table.” All of us broken, needy, wanderers, seekers, believers, doubters … all around the table together. All loved by God and welcomed to the table just as we are. This is a song for us to sing around the table and every time we need to remember God’s deep, inclusive love. Note: A lyric video for this song was just added to the site! Learn More

"Come As You Are” is from the album, Love > Fear, from The Many. It's a reflection on the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” The song is an invitation to all of us into God's loving embrace. We can come with our faith and with our doubt; we are welcomed with hopes and with fears. We can come deeply weary and wounded and carrying loads of baggage and God promises to never turn us away. We come as we are and are loved as we are. No small print. No exceptions. Learn More

“Do Not Fear” is a song of God’s love from Lenora and Hannah Rand, as recorded by The Many. There are so many scary things happening all around us, affecting our lives and the lives of those we love. Fear seems to be hard to avoid these days. Here’s a quiet song to sing whether you’re just sitting alone with your fears or you are gathered in community facing these challenging times together. In words inspired by Isaiah 49: 15-17, it is God’s word of assurance to us. Love is greater than fear. God’s love will sustain us. “Can a woman forget her own baby and not love the child she bore? Even if a mother should forget her child, I will never forget you. I have written your name on the palms of my hands” (Isaiah 49:15-17). Learn More

A new song from The Many that names some of the ego games and wounded patters in which we often lose ourselves. The song then also names how the Extravagant Love, Mercy, and Grace of God can transform us and make a new way of living and being possible. The song ends with the simple but powerful proclamation that "there is enough to go around" in the abundance of God's Love. Right now all we have for this song is the video and lyrics and chords. We're working on a lead sheet and piano arrangement and will have them available ASAP. CCLI #7140923 Learn More

This is a brand new song from Gary, Lenora, and Hannah Rand and their worship band, "The Many."  Among other things this song is their powerful, soulful, and faithful musical response to the violence and death of Charleston, Paris, and Orlando.  The song is a lament, a proclamation of the biblical Truth that whatever we do to someone else, we ultimately do to ourselves, and ends with the hopeful reminder that God "so loves the world" that we can always "find our way to love."  

Piano arrangement coming soon!

From Gary Rand of "The Many..." "Forgive Us is a song of lament and confession. It’s a song to sing when the words don’t come; when our efforts to help, or do right, or even pray seem to come up empty. The songs says, “we don’t know how to pray here, stay here. All we hope is that you’re here.” It’s a song that resonates with Romans 8:26-27, where Paul speaks of the Spirit interceding for us when we don’t have the words." Learn More
