  2. We'll All Stand Together
    By: Amy Sens

    The imagery for We’ll All Stand Together comes from the book of Revelation. In the city of God, redeemed and made new, the people gather together at the banks of the river, a river of grace that blesses the whole city. We’ll All Stand Together works well at a faster tempo, and is a good one for starting or ending a worship service, especially one focused on social justice and solidarity. Amy Sens is an ordained UCC minister serving a congregation in Baltimore, MD. She has compiled an entire hymnal of bluegrass style worship songs with inclusive language and theology. Contact her directly at her bandcamp site for more information about this great resource! Learn More

  3. We Will Raise Our Eyes
    By: Ken Medema

    Ken Medema reminds us where we find our true strength in “We Will Raise Our Eyes”--an upbeat, easy-to-learn song with a contemporary “take” on the text of Psalm 121. In the middle of the song, Ken pairs the famous Hamburg hymn tune with new lyrics about God’s steadfast protection of us. This song can be performed as a congregational chorus or as a solo, and can be accompanied by piano with options to include organ. Additionally, this song is part of a series of psalm settings by Ken that are featured on CMP, including “God I am Beaten, Battered, and Bruised (Psalm 56),” “All My Life (Psalm 73),” and “It’s Good to Give Thanks (Psalm 92)”—each with a different sound and style.

  4. We Will
    By: Bryan Sirchio
    By: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan

    This song is a straight ahead pledge to "honor the stories" of individuals and groups of persons who have been victimized by the abuse of power and systemic injustice. The verse is a simple pledge NOT to violate the dignity of others or to misuse one's power. The chorus is a promise to "speak only truth" and to celebrate the lives of those who have been put down and disrespected. Co-writers Bryan Sirchio and Richard Bruxvoort Colligan had the #Me Too movement in mind when this song was written, as well as the oppression and injustice committed historically against the LBGTQ community and against all marginalized individuals and groups of persons.

  8. We Remember Her
    By: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan

    “We Remember Her” is a song celebrating the so-called "woman with the alabaster jar" in Mark 14:3-9, Matthew 26:6-13, Luke 7:36-50 and John 12:1-3. In singing, we honor this nameless disciple and her courageous act of kindness that was so important to the gospel writers. The story of the "woman with the alabaster jar" is told with varying details in all four gospels. A few days before Jesus' death, into a room full of men she came and anointed Jesus with expensive ointment. In Mark and Matthew's accounts, the scene has Jesus recognizing the woman as one of the most important in his ministry. "Wherever the gospel is proclaimed in all the world, what this woman has done will be told in remembrance of her." The moment happened early in holy week, and according to the gospels, Jesus wouldn't have bathed before he was arrested. Could it be the aroma of the perfume was with him on Friday? Could it be that the scent, so tenderly offered to Jesus, sustained him with hope as he was dying on the cross? Learn More

  10. We Make The Road
    By: Brian McLaren

    From Brian McLaren:  "This song expresses the same sentiment as 'Losing Faith/Finding Faith' but in a more positive and poetic way.  I wrote it while working on my book by this title.  Many of us have been exploring a more contemplative spirituality in our personal lives, but we have few congegational songs that express it.  I hope people will fee this song does so."  

    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.

  13. We Hope
    By: Bryan Sirchio

    This song was written to go with the "Day 3" Scriptures and Themes of the 2018 "Beyond Belief" Outdoor Ministries Camp curriculum published by Chalice Press. The theme for the day is "What If We Hope?," and the Scripture is the story of a man's friends bringing a sick friend to Jesus for healing and cutting a hole in the roof in order to get through the crowd." This song is simple, accessible, but layered with meaning and will be useful in many different contexts, from Church camps and retreats to Sunday morning worship. Learn More

  15. We Are Enough
    By: The Many

    Lots of folks are talking these days about an epidemic of not-enoughness. All of us are daily bombarded with the message that we aren’t enough. And this belief, that we are not enough, often leads us directly to the notion that there is not enough to go around. It seems like much that is wrong in our world — hatred, greed, exclusion, violence, climate devastation — is related to these widespread feelings of inadequacy and scarcity. So The Many’s songwriters, lyricist, Lenora Rand and music writer, Hannah Rand, have written a song that we can all sing (maybe on a daily basis...) and that we hope will be helpful. The chorus is a simple affirmation: You are enough. I am enough. Breathe in the love. We are enough! CCLI Song #7218151 Learn More

  16. We Are A Rainbow
    By: David Kai

    This beautiful contemporary hymn seems destined to be a powerful and joyful anthem for congregations committed to honoring the diversity, promise, and Extravagant Welcome that is at the heart of the Gospel. This song makes powerful use of the biblical symbol of the rainbow as a sign of God's sustaining Love and a call for the church to be a diverse people of the full range of Divine Love and Light. CMP is convinced that Canadian composer David Kai has hit a home run with this song, and that this song will be a joyful gift to open and affirming congregations in particular. Learn More

Good for a reflective campfire moment or a quiet moment in the worship service. Learn More

  19. Waiting For You
    By: The Many

    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!

  20. Waiting
    By: Sherri Hansen

    From the Composer Sherri Hansen... "This is a very special song that was written for a friend of mine during a difficult time in her life. It draws from two of my favorite Psalm passages: 27:14 and 71:20-21. Its a song about longing and waiting for God when questions remain unanswered and pain and suffering appear endless. It can be used as either a congregational or solo artist piece during any season, but the theme of waiting is especially appropriate for Advent. The bridge which utilizes Psalm 71 could be skipped to the end chorus: “God give me patience, God give me strength.” I love doing it with an overlay of the initial verse: “I wait for you God, my soul waits” which I’ve had a soloist sing over the end chorus or divided it between the assembly. The sections also may be repeated as many times as desired. Hopefully, this provides several options and flexibility depending on your needs and circumstances." Learn More
