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.
