Description
John L. Bell and Graham Maule of the Wild Goose Resource Group joined with a diverse collection of musicians on the CD that accompanies this book to sing these songs of engagement with life and with God, all grounded in the passion and pain of Christian love.
The I Will Not Sing Alone songbook is a deliberately eclectic collection of words and music from different ages fused in new arrangements. There are ancient texts and modern texts, simple and sophisticated; choral anthems, folk tunes and contemporary syncopated melodies. The songs include exclamations of praise, meditative reflections on the love of God, and laments for the loss of a child and for countries at war.
Contents:
The Lord is my light
How can I keep from singing?
The treasure
Were I the perfect child
I will give what I have
I will sing a song of love
He is the Way
Jesus Christ here among us
A cradling song
In this darkness
If the war goes on
I heard the voice of Jesus say
Hey my love
I am the Vine
O Jesus, sweet the thought of you
Mothering God
The mind of God
