CHRIS MEDWAY: WATCH OUT! MUSIC Christian children kids praise, worship and theatrical songs. Strange & Beautiful, Weird & Wonderful music
Hello, and welcome to Chris Medway's WATCH OUT! Music page on Soundclick where you will find fun and creative music for kids aged 0 to 200. So turn on the Soundclick music player, turn up yo' speakers, grab anything within reach that remotely resembles an instrument and let's jam......... CHRIS MEDWAY is a Christian composer/ songwriter/ musician/ producer from Devon, UK. CD "ALL ABOARD THE HEAVEN EXPRESS" Using quirky but catchy Biblically-based songs, inspired arrangements, atmospheric sound effects and train announcements, all lightly spiced with (questionable) humour, Chris has created a fun and evocative CD for all kids aged 0 to 200. Woo-Hoo. So climb aboard the Heaven Express and be taken on an electrifying musical tour calling at exciting stations to Heaven Central. Another Woo Hoo. This CD will brighten up your day at any time but if you press play at around 10:13 a.m. then you can even experience the journey in real time. Woo-Hoo again. Chris' music is often described as colourful, eclectic and theatrical. Click on the 'music' thingy above and play some music to see why. Two of Chris' children's songs, "If you know God's love" and "O, Give thanks to the Lord" were published and recorded by Kingsway Children's Ministry with Ishmael and have been used in kids worship many times. Also of interest: The hitherto unreleased demo CD from Chris' stage musical about Daniel raised many eyebrows due to witty lyrics and intricate instrumentation. Some crazy and beautiful songs from the musical can be found here. It's a roar. ### The Heaven Express will be coming to a station near you, so WATCH OUT! ###

Story behind the song
I needed to write a final song for my concept album "All Aboard the Heaven Express" that focused on Heaven and wrapped the album up on a high. I also wanted to write a soaring melody where the music would touch people deeply. After meditating on the Bible's book of Revelation in a field I pieced together this musical number and am very pleased with the result. This meditative, yet dynamic, song is very different in style from the upbeat, quirky songs that precede it on the Heaven Express CD, yet it compliments them beautifully and wraps up the album nicely. It is taking on a life of its own and has become exceedingly popular with all those who have heard it either within the CD or on its own. The song is slightly longer on the CD in that there is a longer synth intro and a quiet train announcement at the end. You can buy the CD "All Aboard the Heaven Express" or download the entire album from www.chrismedway.com
Lyrics
When our long journey ends, We shall see what God has prepared for us, Where His light always shines On the streets of gold. As we gaze round we'll say: This is beautiful; yes it's wonderful Then we'll join Angel choirs Singing 'round His throne. So we look to that day When we all stand in Heaven Praising our Saviour as one With our song. So let's now, as we'll then, Keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, Lighting our way As we gaze at the Son. There we'll share in the joy Written on His face, Filled with love and grace, As He sees our reward From His sufferings. Then with joy we'll cry out "Glory to our God, Who has died for us", As we join Angel choirs Praising Heaven's King. Chorus There'll be no more death There'll be no more pain There'll be no more tears There'll be only joy everlasting, Joy everlasting. There'll be no more sin There'll be no more shame There'll be no more fears There'll be only joy For our God is here. So we look to that day When we all stand in Heaven Praising our Saviour as one With our song. So let's now, as we'll then, Keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, Lighting our way As we gaze at the Son.
