1. Multiply
    By: Lost And Found

    Lost And Found's playful and funny style often works well for kids, children's choirs, and camp singalongs.  This one could definitely work in those contexts.  Lots of great Scripture references here from Matthew 13-14 also.

  2. There Are Gardens Waiting
    By: Bret Hesla

    This is a song of longing for "Green hearts" and gardens that need to be planted. It includes spoken parts in between the repeatable chorus that could be done by various readers within a congregation. This would work well for traditional churches committed to eco-justice and lifestyle changes in order to address climate change and the integrity of Creation. Learn More

  3. This Is Us
    By: Christian McIvor

    A song of solidarity with the oppressed and excluded that celebrates commitment and full inclusion in the community of faith. Verses were written to be sung by a soloist and then the congregation sings the chorus together. Useful in many different liturgical contexts. Learn More

  4. Deliver Us
    By: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan

    An upbeat rocking song with a catchy hook based on Psalm 58 that names systemic injustice and oppression.  This song has some guts and is a strong call for introspection and "uprooting corruption even when it serves us."

  5. 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).

  9. Healing Of The Heart
    By: Ken Medema

    “Healing of the Heart” is an earnest prayer of confession and hope for healing of the heart and soul. It captures the deep, hard-to-ignore wounds to our souls delivered long ago, wondering how we begin the journey on the road to forgiveness with those who have hurt us. Is God with us in this struggle? Ken’s lyrics confront this question and the very difficult task of healing these painful wounds. The personal nature of this song makes it suitable for solo singing accompanied by either piano alone or by a rhythm section. It is highly appropriate when worship topics center on forgiveness, personal struggle, resolution of conflict, and God’s presence when we take up the challenge to walk these difficult paths.

  10. Hope Out Loud
    By: Ben Johnson

    Ben Johnson leads a lot of the music at Solomon's Porch Church in the Twin Cities.  Ben says that often he will sing a song that the gathered community will listen to, and then sing along either with a refrain or just as they learn the song after repeated hearings over time. 

    This beautiful composition of Ben's is a great example of a song that is both singer/songwriter in the verses and then community song in the refrain and ending.  We look forward to making more of Ben's music available as well as to interviewing him (for our blog and Facebook posts) in order to learn how Solomon's Porch uses music in the context of worship.

    Note:  There is no sheet music available yet for this piece, but the guitar chords are listed with the lyrics in the Lead Sheet product slot for this song.
