This is a fun, uptempo song that kids love to sing. I simply explores the justice and love and care for creation that we are called to when we're living "in the Jesus Way."

  4. God's Love Will Hold Us
    By: Bryan Sirchio

    This song was written specifically for Maundy Thursday, the last night of Jesus's life, and yet it is useful for any time people feel "up against it." One of the Gospels says that after the Last Supper and the foot washing, and after Judas left the table to betray him, Jesus and his disciples sang a hymn together before they left for the garden of Gethsemane. A song that would give Jesus strength to face what he knew the next day was going to mean for him. It is our hope that this song will be a source of strength and courage for those facing a difficult tomorrow. Learn More
