This song was co-written by Brian McLaren and Tracy Howe Wispelwey and is based on the well known text of Micah 6:8. This would be a fun song for church bands to work with. A beautiful transition between verses that could be solo and an uplifting and accessible chorus for the congregation. Learn More

Another of Brian McLaren's pieces from the "Songs For A Revolution Of Hope" project featuring the lead vocals of Tracy Howe Wispelwey. The verses name many of the ways in which this world is embroiled in unjust systems and structures and patterns, and the chorus is a prayer to the God of justice and love to help us do the work of bringing these things back into alignment with the Divine Intention.

The brilliant lyrics of Brian McLaren naming some of the "false gods" that he does not believe in, and affirming the beautiful Divine Truth he does embrace and to which he commits his life. Probably a bit more of an anthem or solo song that a congregational piece, but very much worthy of being used liturgically. Learn More

This irresistible sing-along with a reggae feel invites congregants to echo Ken's chorus lyrics in this celebration of the chance we all have to do God's justice and mercy in this world. This kind of service only happens when "see all the world through a new humble heart." Learn More

I originally wrote “Love For Enemies” for New Braunfels Presbyterian Church (USA) in the Texas Hill Country. I was coming through on tour, playing a concert and doing some guest worship leading. One of the lectionary passages for that Sunday was Luke 6:27-38. After some searching I realized that I didn’t know many songs based on that passage, so I decided to write one. We strive to love our enemies because Jesus loved us “while we were still sinners” (Romans 5:8). This is such an important part of Christianity, but it’s so hard to actually live out, especially in an election year! As we seek to do justice let’s not forget to love kindness and walk humbly with our God, even in 2020. They will know we are Christians by our love. Learn More

This is a brand new song from the worship band, "The Many." It reminds us of a simple but powerfully transforming and urgently needed truth--Love is greater than fear. In this pandemic world of so much uncertainty, division, and obvious reasons to be fearful, this is a truth we need to embrace more deeply than ever. Learn More

When we gather around the communion table, we experience not just the body of Christ “on the table” but also the “body of Christ” represented by all of us who “gather around the table.” All of us broken, needy, wanderers, seekers, believers, doubters … all around the table together. All loved by God and welcomed to the table just as we are. This is a song for us to sing around the table and every time we need to remember God’s deep, inclusive love.
