1. Just One Candle
    By: David LaMotte

    This is more of a solo song than a congregational piece, though the chorus is very easy to pick up and sing and this could be done by a soloist on the verses and then the congregation joining in on the refrain. 

    But for the most part this song of David LaMott'es is on the site as a "Singer/Songwriter (Solo) piece just for listening and for the beautiful message and artistry.   The lyric of the refrain is attributed to St. Francis:  "All the darkness in the word can't extinguish the light of just one candle."

  3. Lead Kindly Light
    By: Ken Medema

    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. We cannot know what's ahead of us, but we can pray that God directs our path, one step at a time. Congregations will enjoy this new take on a traditional hymn. Learn More

  4. 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
