1. Incarnate God
    By: Brian Schroeder

    This empowering song shows the incarnation not as God stooping down into a sinful world, but rather becoming one of us as an affirmation of our bodies and experience. Great for Advent and Epiphany. CCLI #7236608 Learn More

  2. Is This How The World Ends?
    By: The Many

    Climate change is a reality. It is not a vague notion of a possible future anymore. It is fires and floods and storms at our doorsteps. How will we be the Church in these difficult, uncertain times? We are struggling with all of you to find those answers. But we know that at times like these, we will need songs to sing. Songs to give us courage. To remind us that we are not alone. To remind us that we are loved, by God, by our neighbors and by strangers and by this incredible nourishing earth. So here’s a song that might help. Written by Hannah and Lenora Rand and recorded by The Many, “Is This How The World Ends” is an expressive, emotional song, that we hope will help us pray and lament and ask for help in these tough times. It is a song for listening, for meditation, for singing together. There are some solo sections and a moving chant at the end for all to join together in praying to God, “Help us love the way you do.” This is the first release from an upcoming EP of songs of lament for the devastation of climate change written by The Many in a year long collaboration with the BTS Center in Maine.

  3. Let Your Kingdom Come
    By: Brian McLaren

    This song springboards off the well known line in the "Lords Prayer," or the "Prayer of Jesus"-- "...Thy Kingdom come." The lyrics prayerfully explore the depths of what that Kingdom or Dream of God is about. Another song that could be a solo or sung by a congregation in several creative ways. Learn More

  4. Longest Nights
    By: The Many

    We (Lenora & Hannah Rand) wrote this song soon after the 2014 police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, when cries of pain and anguish were rising up in that community and around the country, when words of hate and anger were burning hot, and when the racism and fear that has been quietly eating away at our country for a long time came out into the open. This song was born thinking about Jesus’ birth into “mud and blood and hay” and how long that night must have been for Mary and Joseph. We wrote it remembering God’s promise, repeated throughout the Bible, that God is on the side of the poor and oppressed, and that God is always, always where the hurting are. It’s both an Advent and Christmas song, and one especially appropriate for a Longest Night Service. Learn More

  5. Those Who Dream
    By: The Many

    A brand new song released for Advent 2020! No artists are helping individuals and faith communities these days to both lament and hold on to the hope for Divine Transformation more effectively than The Many. This song helps to name the pain and longing that so many are experiencing at this point in history, but it also invites us to dream new dreams and reminds us that God uses those who dream to change the world.

  10. Peace Be With You
    By: Christopher Grundy

    Used by many congregations for years, this mid-tempo folky chorus was written to be sung during the passing of the peace. Congregations often sing through the song, pass the peace with each other during an instrumental interlude, and then sing again to close the rite. One License #CGPBwY2006 Learn More
