Ken Medema borrows the chorus from this well-known African-American spiritual and adds contemporary lyrics in this poignant plea for racial justice and personal repentance. He adds jazzy pianistic flourishes, light percussion, and an improvised solo vocal line over the traditional chorus, which is sung by the choir of the St. John United Church of Christ in Kankakee, Illinois. This piece is suitable for multiple types of gatherings and worship services. 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.

"You Are," by South African singer/songwriter, worship leader. and author John van de Laar is an upbeat, joyful, and moving song of celebration for all the ways God meets us as we are. "You Are" draws worshipers into praise and adoration, and adds meaning to the celebration of the Eucharist. It can also remind us of our diversity in Christ and that we are called to be those who include in our circle every "God-beloved life." CCLI No.: 5513178 Learn More
