  11. Maybe When We're Gone
    By: Brian McLaren

    Several times in the Bible, we're told to listen to creation ... to go to the ant, to consider the lilies of the field and the birds of the air, to listen as the stars preach to us. This song is an attempt to hear what our fellow creatures are trying to tell us right now ... about what we're doing to the world. It could be a performance song, but I dare to think that some brave congregations would be willing to have their congregations sing it too. Learn More

  12. I Am For Peace
    By: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan

    • The lead sheet product includes lead sheet plus songleader's guide and congregational melody line.
    • "I Am For Peace" is from Richard Bruxvoort Colligan's album, "Love Stands With."

    Psalm 120 is the voice of the psalmist desperate. At one point in the psalm, the psalmist throws their head back and wails, "I am for peace but whenever I open my mouth, they are for violence!" This is a song for sidewalk, street and capital steps. The rerfain may stand alone at a protest rally or the entire song can be sung to name moments of our lives ready for serious change. Particularly adventurous communities may invent verses that hit home at the time of singing.

  14. One Brick At A Time
    By: Brian McLaren

    This song is built on some quotes from Dorothy Day and Mother Teresa. It feels especially relevant in times when the world is falling apart . . . and it invites us to dare to believe that these unsettling times create the conditions for a new world to be built by loving hands and loving hearts. Brian McLaren (brianmclaren.net) wrote the original song, and then Fran McKendree offered his magic with this arrangement and recording: https://franmckendree.com/ Learn More
