  2. As the Moon
    By: Christopher Grundy

    This gorgeous chorus from Christopher Grundy is a poetic invitation to sing the soul's deepest yearnings and longings for union with the Divine.  We have a feeling this one's going to be used widely.  It could be done in a variety of styles and tempos and used both in worship contexts and beyond (another potential great camp song).

  3. By The Stream
    By: Christopher Grundy

    “By the Stream” is an easy, comforting refrain that sounds like it is based upon Psalm 1 but is actually drawn from Jeremiah 17:7-8. The image of a tree rooted deeply near a stream reminds us of the blessings of trusting in God. The song is best accompanied by guitar and/or piano. Cello and mandolin parts are included in the full score and are also available separately. Learn More

  4. Come to Me

    Another beautiful, singable, earth-honoring chorus. Easy to play on guitar. This song works well for outdoor worship, church camp, or any time you want to connect with the sacred around you.

  10. I Will Sing of Your Love, Love, Love
    By: Christopher Grundy

    "I Will Sing of Your Love, Love, Love" was commissioned by the Missouri/Mid-South Conference of the United Church of Christ to support the "Three Great Loves" campaign of the UCC, but any congregation can enjoy singing it.  This easy, upbeat song has a simple, easy-to-learn format and a refrain that gets in your head and stays there. Based on Psalm 89:1, the song is fun to sing, and will work with a full band or just piano or guitar. It would work well for opening of worship, close of worship, or other places where you want to have some fun. The verses focus on three types of God's love, and our love for each other: love of neighbor, love of children, and love of creation. An optional descant can add complexity to the song, as well as an emphasis on working for, "a just world for all." Learn More
