Contemporary hymns and new worship music
CONTEMPORARY HYMNS AND NEW WORSHIP MUSIC These are acoustic worship songwriting demos with chords sheets. IF YOU'RE A SINGER, BAND, OR WORSHIP LEADER/PASTOR, FEEL FREE TO USE these modern hymns and worship songs in live settings, and to reproduce lyric sheets for Power Point, overhead transparency, or whatever you use. THE MODERN HYMN MOVEMENT: The recent explosion of contemporary hymns and inroads made into churches by Indelible Grace, Stuart Townend, Keith and Kristyn Getty and other modern hymn writers has done wonders for reminding us of the relevance of old hymns and turning again to new hymns crafted in old literary patterns that expressed theological truths in ways that many modern song-constructs cannot follow. I work in this tradition, writing deeply theological worship songs that can be adapted for various musical genres, while presenting the gospel in the depth that hymns are famous for. Click the "Lyrics/story tab next to each song on my MP3 music page for chords, as well as a list of themes/liturgical settings for each song and CCLI #s. YOU CAN ALSO DOWNLOAD OVERHEAD TRANSFER SHEETS, chord sheets, and lyrics to some of these songs by looking up my name in the Artist List of these two sites: Just send me a note letting me know who/where you are -- I'd like to know! .

Lyrics
Am C Forgive us Lord, for passing by G Am When children cry for bread C Forbid it Lord, that justice lie G Am in tatters, cold and dead C G Outside these walls run desperate streets Am E where greed is law and life is cheap Am C We bar the doors, refuse to see, G Am or hear the words You said: (REFRAIN) Am C G Am Let justice roll like a river. Like a river, let it roll. C G Am Let justice roll like a river. Like a river, let it roll. Convict us Lord, we dance and laugh ignoring those who weep Correct us Lord, our golden calf has lulled our hearts to sleep The gap between the rich and poor grows ever wider, shore to shore There's racial hate, religious war and wolves among the sheep (REPEAT REFRAIN) Indwell us Lord, and purify our hands to work for You Enlist us Lord, to serve nearby and ‘cross the waters, too Your image-bearers on the earth will never know how much they’re worth unless we love and help them first and show the way to You.
