From Brian McLaren:   I 'm an enthusiastic Supporter of the #WeStandWithLove campaign (westandwithlove.org), and I wrote this song to bring some beautiful and powerful words from Dr. King into our congregational life.

From CMP:  Brian McLaren was on a road Sabbatical for the first 8 months of 2016.

If you would like to purchase this entire collection of Brian's demo's, lyrics, and some notes he wrote about each song (21 songs for $18), please email Bryan Sirchio, CMP Lead Designer, and he will send you a link you can use to purchase Brian's entire collection.

A brand new song from the amazing Ken Medema based on Jesus' words in Matthew 5:14-16.  Congregations will pick this up very easily and enjoy singing this catchy tune and lyric in many different liturgical contexts.  This one will also work well with children!

This song was originally written as a theme song for a retreat that took place during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend and that focused on the life and witness of Dr. King.  It underscores the fact that Dr. King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech was rooted in his understanding of the Dream of God.  In addition to working well in the context of worship and in several different liturgical moments in worship services, this song is also often used as a theme for church renewal programs, stewardship campaigns, and as music for videos dealing with issues such as hunger, racism, compassion for the poor, and social justice in a broad sense.

If in your heart is one of the most popular tunes off An Unexpected Christmas, Ana's 2010 collaboration with The Virginia Girls Choir, directed by Dan Moriarty. It can be done with equal voices, or if you have an adventurous group, with much improvisation.
