  2. Something Beautiful For God
    By: Bryan Sirchio

    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

  4. God of the Movements and Martyrs (Zach Light Wells Version)
    By: David LaMotte

The hymn honors those whose faith has called them to work for peace and justice, past, present, and future, and invites all of us to join in that sacred work. The hymn has been interpreted by several different musicians in different genres and styles. Please explore Convergence Music Project to hear other versions of the hymn. Learn More

  5. More Than Welcome Here
    By: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan

    Many congregations consider themselves to be "welcoming," and that's fantastic.  But it's time to be MORE than just welcoming.  This song goes beyond welcome to the call for joyful and full participation in the community of faith. 

    "More Than Welcome Here" was inspired in part by a quote that Bryan Sirchio saw tweeted...something like "Welcome is being included.  Belonging is being missed when you're not there." 

    Note:  This song is available exclusively here on the CMP site!

  13. Move
    By: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan

    • The lead sheet product includes lead sheet plus songleader's guide and congregational melody line. 
    • The lyric sheet product is a chord chart.

    This song is a reflection on Psalm 109, one of the most angry psalms. The song "Move" invites focused commitment to be active in the work of protest, healing and justice. It also names anger as a natural response to oppression, perhaps a good fuel for change.

  14. Called By Earth And Sky
    By: Pat Mayberry

    A fantastic contemporary hymn by Canadian composer and artist Pat Mayberry. We have a feeling this one is going to enjoy a very wide use once you hear it. Great lyrics, very accessible, and a wonderful earth-honoring message that is right on time and then some. Your congregation will love this one! Learn More

  15. Leaning In
    By: Christopher Grundy

    This gentle, sung prayer of intercession invites us to pray for others while breaking down the sense of “us” and “them” that is often the pattern of such prayers. The congregation can sing just the refrain (especially at first while they are learning it) or the whole song. “Leaning In” also moves us toward a prayer of intention, focusing on our intention to join in God’s ways of healing, justice and love that are already at work in the world. Rather than emphasizing petition, assuming that our prayers will cause God to act, this song invites us to join in the work that God is already doing. Congregations often find this song to be both moving and a refreshing change in perspective. One License #CGLI2013 Learn More
