Amahoro” is a word from the Kirundi language, spoken in Burundi as well as adjacent parts of Tanzania, Uganda and the D.R. Congo. It is a common greeting meaning “peace” and is used in this song as a prayer and blessing that could be translated, “Let peace flow between us!”  Composer Tracy Howe Wispelwey is committed to composing songs that honor and draw from cultural traditions and communities that have been historically marginalized.  Congregations that love to sing songs like "We Are Marching In The Light of God"  (Siyaham' ekukhanyen' kwenkhos') will jump right on this one!

If in your heart is one of the most popular tunes off An Unexpected Christmas, Ana's 2010 collaboration with The Virginia Girls Choir, directed by Dan Moriarty. It can be done with equal voices, or if you have an adventurous group, with much improvisation. 

Another great song written by Brian McLaren and arranged and performed by Fran McKendree and Ana Hernandez.  This is an infectious arrangement, easy to play on guitar, and the lyrics are based on the familiar 1 Cor. 13.  One of the great things about this song is that it can be used in lots of contexts--congregational worship, children's choirs, even as a camp song.  Warning--you won't be able to get it out of your heads!  

Ken Medema weaves together the prayerful text of the hymn "Lead, Kindly Light" with earnest questions about whether our devotion remains steadfast despite our circumstances.

This is another song written specifically for the 2018 "Beyond Belief" Outdoor Ministries Curriculum published by Chalice Press. The Theme for "Day 4" of the curriculum is "What If There Is Enough?," and the Scripture for the day is the feeding of the 5000 in John 6:1-14. Another accessible, easy to sing, easy to play, and multi-layered text that will be useful both at camps and also in Sunday morning worship. This one has particular application for stewardship and moving beyond scarcity thinking to the Abundance of the "Never-ending Source." Learn More

A gentle mid-tempo song for dedications, offerings, stewardship, and for dedicating our lives again and again to the will and purposes of God.

Note:  Andra recorded this song in the key of B.  We felt it would be easier to play and sing in the key of C, and so the lead sheet and piano arrangements are in that key.  If you purchase the lead sheet and piano arrangement and would also like to receive these items in the original key of B, please contact us and we'll be glad to send you these at no additional charge.

A new CHORAL OFFERING by Ken Medema! On this journey in life, we travel fraught paths. We endure unspeakable wounds, relentless threats, and deep sadness. But if we look closely, we see that God is with us through these untrodden paths as the Light that does not surrender and the Song that does not cease. God is always granting us a next verse and is always wrapping us up in encircling love. In this space, we are unbound, freed souls. This S.A.T.B. piece is a prayer of gratitude to God for that healing, redemptive space and steadfast presence in this life. It features original music by Ken Medema and text by Cathy Chamblee, arranged for choir by Ken and Cathy with piano accompaniment and optional cello. Because it was composed during the pandemic, there is no performance recording available, but you may enjoy a free MIDI-generated mp3 to acquaint yourselves with the anthem. This piece can be used in a variety of worship settings and is a MUST HAVE for its highly accessible choral writing and its compelling, lovely musical message. Learn More

This song is based on the life and teachings of Mother Teresa. When living with her order in Calcutta, India Mother Teresa would end each morning's time of worship by saying to her sisters, "Today let us do something beautiful for God." The song includes as many key teachings and insights that motivated Mother Teresa's work, such as "do something small where you are with what you've got." This song works great in congregational worship and can be done either with just piano or guitar or with a worship band. Learn More
