Songs have forever been at the heart of God’s Church. They help build our faith, tell of the rich, full, grace of our Savior, and speak of our devotion and allegiance to Him; songs express our thoughts and feelings and needs in a way that mere words never can. Songs allow us to lift our voice to declare that He alone is worthy of our praise, He alone is the one true God and King, and He alone has provided a way to salvation for a lost and dying world. The songs included in this new Word Music & Church Resources Choral Collection are Songs the Church Loves to Sing! Across decades, styles and sounds have changed, but the impact songs have on God’s people is undeniable and unmistakable. Through the 70s, 80s, and 90s, a lexicon of Christian songs took their place beside the time-honored hymns of the church, songs that became the voice of new generations of believers, songs that the church still loves to sing. This Choral Collection, arranged and orchestrated by Marty Parks, is a tribute to those songs. We hope and believe this church music resource will find its place in your church music library and will be used as a tool of outreach and ministry to proclaim your love and adoration for the Lord, giving voice to people everywhere; a voice with which to keep singing these Songs the Church Loves to Sing!

In this treatment of the graceful French melody Lourdes Hymn, brass quartet and organ interact with choir and congregation with more lyricism than fanfare. A choir-only stanza distributes the melody among the flowing SATB lines. A more dramatic interlude with key change sets up a celebratory final stanza with soprano/tenor descant. Some adaptation would allow for a performance without brass.
