A moving song about sharing each other's burdens and loving and accepting each other as we are.  Beautiful production and artistry.  David Lunsford and the musicians at Eastlake Community Church in Washington state are creating some amazingly beautiful music that should be on the radio, but their lyrics are a bit too progressive and real for most CCM radio formats.

This is a song about giving of our offerings of time, money, and energy: in short, our lives to God's work. Learn More

The imagery for We’ll All Stand Together comes from the book of Revelation. In the city of God, redeemed and made new, the people gather together at the banks of the river, a river of grace that blesses the whole city.

"Whatever Is True" is based on Philippians 4:8-9. Functionally, it makes a great benediction song, sending the congregation out into the world with a reminder to set their minds on truth, kindness, and noble things, and to remember that we are all held with love. The line, "love for a stranger, love for a neighbor, seeking the Christ" is also a powerful text to sing in light of the current crises of immigrants at the southern U.S. borders and the recent heartbreaking reality of refugees from Afghanistan.

This is a great benediction/sending song written by Brian McLaren and performed by Tracy Howe Wispelwey. Easy to play and teach the congregation. And let's face it--kindness, in addition to being one of the 3 things named as "required" by God in Micah 6:8, is something we simply can't proclaim, embody, and offer enough. The lyrics of this song are also based on the words of Teresa of Avila that we are Christ's hands and body in the world. Learn More
