  4. Just One Candle
    By: David LaMotte

    This is more of a solo song than a congregational piece, though the chorus is very easy to pick up and sing and this could be done by a soloist on the verses and then the congregation joining in on the refrain. 

    But for the most part this song of David LaMott'es is on the site as a "Singer/Songwriter (Solo) piece just for listening and for the beautiful message and artistry.   The lyric of the refrain is attributed to St. Francis:  "All the darkness in the word can't extinguish the light of just one candle."

  5. Rise Up
    By: The Many

    Looking for an Easter season song that takes a different approach? The Many, as we might expect, has written one. It's a call to follow Jesus and to rise up in solidarity! To rise up and live like hope is real, to live like there is enough to go around, to rise up and be the change we need! "We can rise up and be a holy Alleluia!" It's a song you can sing with soloists and choir, with a congregation singing at full volume and (maybe dancing?)... RISE UP! You can sing it anytime you're in that Easter spirit. NOTE: There is an accompaniment track available for this song (music without the lead vocal and also one without the lead vocal but with the backing vocals on it). If you would like access to these files please contact Bryan Sirchio at bryan@convergencemp.com and request them. Unfortunately at this point we can only make one Mp3 available for download on the product page). CCLI #7196806. One License #63fe4b9205629 Learn More

  6. Rise Up Together
    By: Agape (David Sherer)

    This song features both a beautifully melodic and inspiring chorus for congregations to sing and also rap style verses with great theology.  A powerful anthem that can be used in many contexts.

    Note:  Given the nature of this song there is no piano arrangement for it, but there is piano notation for a repetitive part that can be played underneathe the rap at the top of the lead sheet.

  7. This World Is Pregnant With God
    By: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan

    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
