  2. Offering
    By: Andra Moran

    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.

  4. Love Anyway
    By: Brian McLaren

    From Brian McLaren:  "In the Lord's Prayer, we not only acknowledge our sins ("Forgive us our trespasses") but also our hurts ("those who trespass against us.")  These days we have many songs about our sins, but few songs that acknowledge our hurts.  That was my goal in this song."

    From CMP: Brian McLaren was on a road Sabbatical for the first 8 months of 2016.  During this time away from the grind of constant travel and preparation for live events Brian wrote, rewrote, compiled, and recorded demos (not finished studio recordings) of 21 songs.  9 of these demos are currently available here on the CMP site, and we are in the process of creating lead sheets and piano arrangements for them.  If you would like to purchase this entire collection of Brian's demo's, lyrics, and some notes he wrote about each song (21 songs for $18), please email Bryan Sirchio, CMP Lead Designer, and he will send you a link you can use to purchase Brian's entire collection.

  10. Whatever Is True
    By: Andra Moran

    "Whatever Is True" is based on Philippians 4:8-9. Functionally, it makes a great benediction song, sending the congregation out into the world with a reminder to set their minds on truth, kindness, and noble things, and to remember that we are all held with love. The line, "love for a stranger, love for a neighbor, seeking the Christ" is also a powerful text to sing in light of the current crises of immigrants at the southern U.S. borders and the recent heartbreaking reality of refugees from Afghanistan.

  13. The Whole World Is Waiting
    By: The Many
    By: Kate Hurley

    From the first line, “The whole world is waiting, the whole world cries…” to the last, this new song for Advent gives us a way to sing about the realities we are living at this moment. It gives us a song to sing honestly in these days of devastating war, climate crises, political upheaval, hatred, exclusion and division. It gives us a way to cry out to God and look for hope. Originally written by Kate Hurley several years ago, Kate and The Many’s lyricist, Lenora Rand, got together recently and created a new version of the lyrics. When word of their work began to spread, our new friends, Flamy Grant, and Ben Grace of The Calendar Days, soon joined The Many and Kate to create the powerful and moving new recording included here on the site. This is the song we need to be singing this Advent and Christmas season. A song that assures us there is a God that hears the “cries for justice and the longing to be free.” Who “heals and shows us what can be.” And it also reminds us that love can change things. A reminder we all desperately need to hear right now. One License # 265086 CCLI #7229442 Learn More

  15. Holy Spirit Guide Us
    By: Ken Medema

    Ken Medema sets convicting new text to the well-known Wye Valley hymn tune. The new text is a prayer for God's Spirit to inhabit every moment of our worship, our communion with others, and the living of our faith in our service to others beyond church walls. This piece can stand alone as a congregational hymn, but Ken also includes it in his song, "On the Edge of Tomorrow," a separate listing on Convergence Music Project. You can hear the pairing by checking out the mp3 of "On the Edge of Tomorrow." The lyrics make the song suitable for worship topics including prayer, outreach to others, and Spirit presence in the living of our faith. Learn More
