Tracing the steps of Jesus and his followers through the season of
Lent to Easter Day and then beyond, these songs are suitable for
music groups or choirs as well as being accessible to
congregations.
Contains 17 songs for the Christmas season. Most of the songs are
for unaccompanied congregational singing, several have been
arranged for choirs, and may serve as anthems or introits. Full
music and notes by the author are provided for each song.
What we sing shapes what we believe - this is an incontrovertible
truth as regards the song of the Church. It has led many Westerners
to believe that Jesus was a silent baby (Away In A Manger) and a
docile child (Once In Royal David's City). It has suggested that
militarism is an apt metaphor for discipleship (Onward Christian
Soldiers) and this misconception is closely allied to decay (Abide
With Me). It has also led to the assumption that, as regards
religion, 'the West is the best' (O'er Those Gloomy Hills of
Darkness, etc). This is not to discount the value of these and
other favourite texts. It is, rather, to suggest that the songs we
sing reflect the theology of our times, and theology is always in
process because God is always on the move. The songs in this
collection are not the antidote but rather a supplement both to
traditional hymnody and to the narrow spectrum of biblical and
emotional content in much praise and worship material. They are
songs intended, as the title (which comes from the words of Jesus)
suggests, to liberate us from limited horizons. Hence there are:
songs which shun dated, churchy language and instead embrace
contemporary speech; songs which prove that the southern hemisphere
has more to offer than Kumbaya; songs which take the world
seriously, because God takes it seriously; songs which allow
worship to be more than predictable praise; songs which challenge
the dominance of a performance mentality because they are meant for
all to sing. Because we have never set out to provide peerless
performances of flawless music, we hope that this album will not
just be something to listen to, but may encourage all of God's
people to sing.
New, revised and expanded edition of this much-loved unrecorded
dialogue between Jesus and his eager disciple, Peter. Ideal as
discussion starters or scriptural reflections in small groups and
church services or for personal study. These scripts use up-to-date
language and present a modern perspective on perennial issues such
as faith, money, marriage, vocation, sex, healing, taxes,
ecological concern, committment, children, the kingdom of heaven
and many more.
Specifically designed for congregational use, this contains 255
songs for straightforward arrangements, either four-part harmony or
with piano accompaniment.
Biblical songs of justice, World Church songs of protest and praise
and songs of experience from late 20th century Britain.
