In Little Seeds you will find new hymns from my heart. My devotional life is given to you in my hymnwriting. During the past three years I have been writing songs for the unity of the church - songs reminding us of our baptism. I have been writing biblical story hymns for lesser-known characters. I have written paperless songs that may be easily memorized. I set a Rumi poem. There are new hymns for Christian missions from everywhere to everywhere. You will find new texts and musical settings for folk songs from around the world. I hope I have treated these with the love and respect they deserve. You will find alternate arrangements of some songs that may be useful in different settings. Lim Swee Hong composed three tunes for this collection at my request. I am also pleased to include Lianne Tan's first published hymn tune in Little SeedsSong List:
A Babe Was Born
A Blood Red Rose Reminds Us Still
A Garden You Once Made
A God of Surprises, Beyond Expectation
A Man Lay Beaten, Left for Dead
A Rabbi Sat Against a Wall
A Woman Stood Accused
Ain't No Grave
All People Need a Home
As at Pentecost You Came
As Children, We May learn to Love
As Colors in the Sky
Beside the Great Cathedrals
Can You See Christ
Can You See the Living Christ
Chill of the Nightfall
Each Seeking Faith Is Seeking Light
Elijah Bowed Down on the Earth
Fair Wind and the Sky Is Clear
God, Help the Weary Travelers
God, Help Your Church to Learn
God, You Are Like a Place Remembered
Guide My Canoe, Spirit Wind
He Is The Way
He Will Never Let Go My Hand
Hope of the Earth
I Saw an Angel in the Road
I Will Not Always Walk This Earth
In Every Changing State of Mind
In the Stillness of This Hour
Jesus, Live in Us
Jesus Lives!
Jesus, Partner, Lover, Friend
Jesus, We Come to the Table
Justice Like a River
Lead Us to Still Waters
Let Flow Our Tears in Grief for This
Lilies Of The Field
Look: Such Horror, Torn, then Tortured
Mother, Child, and Birthing Spirit
Much Brighter than a Thousand Suns
My Child Is a Flower
New Every Morning Is Your Grace
No Obvious Angels
Our God Is a Rock
Our Life in the Spirit
Out of Joy and Out of Need
Peace Child
Planter of Gardens, Sender of Rain
Prayer Is the Cry of the Heart
Remember the Rock that Bore You
Samuel, Samuel, I Am Calling
Startle Us with Joy
The Earth Is Like a Burning Bush
The Grass Will Green Again
The Road to Capernaum
The Saints of Old Cry Out
There Is No Smell Like Fresh-Baked Bread
This Hurt Is Not the Final Word
True Union Is a Gift of God
We Are People, Made by God
We Are Your Children
We Are Your People
We Give You Thanks for Every Faith
When Human Life Is Bought and Sold
When I See the Rain
With the People We Have
You Give Rest to All Who Come to You
You Set Your Seal upon Each Heart
You Walk This Earth
The Little Child
