“You Give Me A New Song” ("Number 40") uses catchy call-and-response to quickly engage a congregation in the text of Psalm 40:1-3. "You Give Me A New Song!" is sung with an exuberant, heartfelt refrain that defies regular language-- La, la, la, yeah! This song works well as both an opening song or a sending song. It offers quick scripture memorization and gives opportunity for easy harmonies and a variety of rhythm instruments. It works well for intergenerational gatherings and in settings where song text is not printed or projected. This song is a longtime favorite for fans of Andra Moran's work. Learn More

Archbishop Desmond Tutu defined the Nguni Bantu word "ubuntu" as "I am, because you are." Inspired by these words, Ken Medema uses "ubuntu" in this highly memorable, rhythmically driven song that celebrates the communion shared, the justice done, and the path forward that is possible when we come together to worship God in this fellowship that knows no bounds. This easy-to-learn piece is suitable as a congregational song for a variety of purposes. Learn More

A rousing "Call and Response" about the active nature of peace-making, Sing for Peace is both fun to sing and stirring in its message. It challenges the congregation to join together to be the people who make peace and move from the hate of the world to harmony in the midst of difference. Sing for Peace is an effective way to get people singing at the beginning of worship, as a response to the Passing of the Peace, or to put a punctuation mark at the end of a sermon or service.

A catchy blue-grass/country flavored song with a very accessible chorus and call and response verses.  Fun, celebratory, and easy to learn.  Nice feminine reference to the Divine in one of the verses!
