This song was commissioned to celebrate 162 years of ministry of Our Savior's Lutheran Church (OSLC) in Milwaukee, WI. The final service will is/was on Sunday, July 26, 2020. Although the physical doors will close, the community will continue as will the many ministries begotten here such as The Next Door Foundation, and others. OSLC was my home church for many years, and I was one of the ministers of music there for some time. I played for funerals, baptisms and weddings there. I raised my children there. It was a place where memories of pain and joy embrace. I hope that this song recognizes the pain of the closing, but celebrates the years of vibrant ministry, and leaves us with a sense of hope. God does not dwell in temples but in hearts filled with Agape love.

The song can also be used during the pandemic as we strive to be a church in spirit without walls.  Biblical references: Romans 8:38-39, Acts 17:24   This product includes the piano vocal score, optional choral parts for closing measures, and the congregational lead sheet for reproduction in church bulletins. Please be sure to report church usage to CCLI.  Complete lyrics are available on the YouTube description and at www.worldhousemusic.org Thanks! Dr. Abe

Gentle and reassuring, this touching anthem teaches children that Christ the Shepherd promises to love and guide them through life's journey. Referencing a child as the Shepherd's lamb, the song reminds us all to follow the Shepherd through peaceful pastures as well as the inevitable storms that come in life. Repetition and stepwise motion characterize the graceful melody that's paired with a flowing piano accompaniment and an optional flute part. The piece works perfectly with baptisms, child dedications or any service emphasizing family or childlike themes.

We Go in Peace is a recessional hymn that uses the language of the Baptismal Rite to send forth the worshiping community on mission out into the world as Priest, Prophet and King. It was written for and dedicated to a parish musician, educator, wife, and mother named Lori. While battling brain-cancer for two long years, Lori was filled with an unparalleled sense of peace, strength, and courage. Her witness of faith taught those who knew her to allow Christ’s peace to enter their hearts so that they may all glorify the Lord by their lives. .

Lyrics are based on John 4, Ezekiel 36 & Isiah 42 

Come and drink the living water
For no longer shall you thirst
Come and drink the cleansing water
For you have been called first

As the rain falls on the dry ground
Waters seeds that turn to bread
So his word remains among us,
So his gospel shall be spread

He will pour his water on us
Heal the wrongs that we have done    
Give us hearts renewed and faithful
Hearts of flesh, not hearts  of stone.

Though we pass through stormy waters
We’ll not drown, he is our guide
If the mighty  flames engulf us
We’ll not burn, he’s at our side.
