Picture her sputtering in awe when you imagine Saint Angela of Foligno singing, "This world is pregnant with God." It's a powerful feminine metaphor for change. Sing it in Springtime, either Lent or Eastertide, on Earth Day, or any moment to remember humankind's interconnection with creation. The simple refrain deepens in meaning as the verses suggest dimensions of the metaphor: if creation is a pregnant witness of Christ incarnate in the world, then every living thing is kin (verses 1-2). For verse 3, I was thinking about the parable of the treasure in the field, and of my family's roots in farming. John 16, Mark 13, and Romans 8 refer to labor pain as a metaphor for the pain of transformation and renewal (verse 4). Teach the community the single-phrase refrain, and your music leader or choir sings the verses. Learn More

This is a brand new song for Advent 2016 from The Many.  We're really excited about this one!  So timely in light of all that's going on in the world right now.  This beautiful, singable, easily accessible song could work as an anthem, a congregational song, or a solo.  It taps into the Advent themes of waiting and longing for God to come, act, and bring about Divine justice.  And yet it is also a call to action, love, service, and hope while we wait. 

Thanks for another GREAT song Gary, Lenora, and Hannah Rand!

"We've had our fill of hatred..." the song sings. "We look to you for mercy." This song is a reflection on Psalm 123, a prayer of surrender in the midst of honest struggle.

A brand new song from the amazing Ken Medema based on Jesus' words in Matthew 5:14-16.  Congregations will pick this up very easily and enjoy singing this catchy tune and lyric in many different liturgical contexts.  This one will also work well with children!

“You Give Me A New Song” ("Number 40") uses catchy call-and-response to quickly engage a congregation in the text of Psalm 40:1-3. "You Give Me A New Song!" is sung with an exuberant, heartfelt refrain that defies regular language-- La, la, la, yeah! This song works well as both an opening song or a sending song. It offers quick scripture memorization and gives opportunity for easy harmonies and a variety of rhythm instruments. It works well for intergenerational gatherings and in settings where song text is not printed or projected. This song is a longtime favorite for fans of Andra Moran's work. Learn More
