Give thanks for A New Day
Inspired by the Holy Spirit and arranged to follow the ancient tradition of the Liturgy of the Hours, A New Day showcases Steve Angrisano's profound ability to bring us to a deeper understanding of our everyday encounters with Christ—through 9 soul-stirring songs—from dawn till dusk.

Delight in a down-home sound
Building around Steve's signature acoustic guitar, a driving percussion layered banjo, ukulele and mandolin, perpetuate a soulful and organic 'Americana' sound—akin to the band, Mumford and Sons. Produced by Mark Byrd and Steve Hindalong (writers of "God of Wonders" by Third Day), listeners will delight in collaborations from today's contemporary Catholic music icons: Sarah Hart, Jesse Manibusan and Curtis Stephen.

Find new songs for Eucharistic Liturgy
Filling a liturgical need for contemporary entrance and sending forth songs, both "May Your Kingdom Comeö and "A Rightful Place"—the record's break-out single—are blessings to any Liturgy or service. "10,000 Reasons," a cover of the popular Matt Redmond title, carries Steve's familiar warmth and style while "Alleluia, Love Is Alive," captures the spirit of Easter proclaiming the Good News of our salvation with a 'joyful shout'—just as the Gospel proclaims.

Encounter Christ through daily devotion
While appropriate for eucharistic liturgy and prayer services, A New Day also offers listeners unique inspiration for daily prayer—making it a welcome addition for personal listening and devotion. From "Benedictus" at sunrise to "Magnificat" at sunset these 9 songs bring new focus and reflection to God's daily presence in our lives.

"If you are what you should be, you will set the world ablaze." —St. Catherine of Siena

Contemporary catholic artist Ben Walther has always believed that God gives people gifts and a passion to use those gifts, yet, like many of us, he often wondered if he was really living out God's calling for his life. If this latest collection is any indication, it's safe to say that he is living proof of one who is doing exactly what God intended for his life.

Produced by Paul Moak at The Smoakstack Studios in Nashville, TN, Ben's sophomore album offers five songs ranging in style from rocking, high energy to simple piano and vocals. With an overall message of living as a bright light in today's darkness, the songs on Ablaze are multipurpose —great for personal devotions and youth and young adult gatherings as well as liturgy.

Drawn from the Gospel of Matthew, "A Light to the Nations" is a call and a prayer that we will be a light for the world. Ideal for sending or commissioning, it would also be an excellent choice for Pentecost. "Jesus Meek and Humble," co-written with Sarah Hart, is modeled after a traditional hymn. Especially appropriate for Lent, this beautiful song follows the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, and, thus, will also pair well with a variety of Gospel readings throughout the liturgical year.

The rocking title track urges us: "Let's set the world on fire, let's raise his banner higher." May we all have a flame ignited in each of us so that we may live out our faith as wholeheartedly as Ben does with this album.

Inspired by the many people enduring painful life events, this soothing 11-song collection provides support and comfort during difficult times, encouraging us to acknowledge, explore and come to peace through our lamentation.

While Above Earth's Lamentation contains congregational songs, the primary focus of the collection is personal prayer and individual healing. With calming harmonies and comforting lyrics, the music is a gentle companion through any difficult circumstance. It guides us toward an understanding that, even in the midst of our pain, God is present and loving.

Delivering a beautiful synergy of mood, lyric and melody, producer Paul Moak communicates the heart of singer-songwriter Sarah Hart's message that finding hope is possible. Piano, acoustic guitar, mandolin, fiddle, cello, and percussion beautifully support SarahÆs organic vocal sound, which is rooted in the music of Appalachia.

From the thoughtful lyrics of "Praying With A Broken Heart" and the upbeat title track of "Hallelujah Is Our Song" to the inspirational message of "This Is Not Forever," Above Earth's Lamentation is a rich musical collection ideally crafted for any journey through lamentation to hope.

"In the same way God fed the hungry on the hillside with five barley loaves and two fish, the miracle of abundance continues when we share the daily bread we have been given. I pray these songs may nourish and sustain you on your spiritual journey."
—Tom Tomaszek

Live fully in the Body of Christ
"Blessed Are They" is a powerful proclamation of Scripture. "Prosper the Work of Our Hands" encourages us to live fully in the Body of Christ by reaching out in hospitality to the needs of others. Drawing attention to the unique talents we each possess, "Go, Make a Difference" speaks of the miracles that can happen when we share these gifts with the world.

Explore faith between Sundays
Over the years, Tom has collaborated with a number of artists—including Steve Angrisano, Tom Booth and ValLimar Jansen—to give communities music to celebrate the liturgy. Marking the first time he's recorded his own songs, Abundant Blessing offers a contemporary soundtrack for reflection, prayer and exploring our faith between Sundays.

Also available as an MP3 playlist.

A bilingual, twenty-first century soundtrack for Advent
With Adviento, Jaime Cortez has given Advent a bilingual, twenty-first century soundtrack. Featuring contemporary and Latino styles, these 14 Spanish, English and bilingual songs capture all the color and longing of this hopeful season.

14 new titles, including several Marian songs
Mary figures prominently here, just as she does in the Advent readings. Sung entirely in Spanish, "Ave María" is Jaime's tender new folk-guitar arrangement of the Hail Mary. Another easy-paced ballad, "Nothing Is Impossible" (sung entirely in English) is a beautiful meditation on the Magnificat and God's limitless power.

Spanish, English and bilingual psalms and more
"Let the Lord Enter" is a gospel-style setting of Psalm 24. Powerful and prayerful, the bilingual "Advent Litany" has the assembly sing, "O come, O come," after each of Christ's traditional Advent titles. Opening with a burst of trumpets and Latin percussion, "Ven, O Ven, Emanuel" is a bilingual, Latin-style song inviting all to make straight God's way.

Beautifully recorded CD makes great listening
Produced by Andy Andino, of Who Do You Say I Am, the CD is top-notch, with superb performances on both instruments and vocals. From the opening strains of the instrumental "Waiting Prelude," with its synthesized orchestration, you know you're in for something different. It makes great listening, from start to finish.

A much-needed boost to the Spanish/bilingual repertoire for Advent, Adviento will reward all who sing and hear its original words and melodies.

Lively and moving, this CD contains eight songs in a variety of styles and genres, offering a much-needed new social justice repertoire for liturgy, youth ministry and catechesis.

Snippets from Dr. King, Gandhi and Dorothy Day
"Walk Together Children" includes ValLimar reciting the words of Dorothy Day, Oscar Romero and Gandhi between verses, as well as snippets from Dr. King's historic "I Have a Dream" speech. The offbeat emphasis in "Keep Your Mind on God's Love" gives it a relaxed, reggae feel.

Those familiar with the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou" and its best-selling soundtrack will recognize the joyful "Softly and Tenderly Medley." Her cover of Bob Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody" could make you forget it was ever anything but a stirring, R&B-style song.

Medley of two classics, closes with "Amazing Grace"

Enjoy 12 of Espinosa's most beloved songs
As a follow up to volume one of Canciones de un Pueblo Caminante (translated: Songs of the Journeying People of God), this collection gathers 12 additional beloved songs—including five published in the U.S. for the first time—from revered Spanish liturgical composer Juan Antonio Espinosa

Give new expression to generational anthems
Contemporary arrangements with rock guitars and elements of jazz and Gospel give new expression to poetic anthems cherished by generations of Latino-American Catholics. As Espinosa describes, these songs "invite us to taste the warmth of the Spirit who is near; the Spirit that surrounds our existence, our life and our story."

Surrender and trust in God
The folk-style "Todo lo Podemos" reflects our surrender and trust in God. Like a heartbeat, the drum and bass in "Resucitó el Señor" create intense anticipation that explodes in a cry of joy: He's Risen, He's Risen! Overflowing with Latin flavor, "Santa María de la Esperanza" provides an energetic close to the album.

Bring music to life
Whether you're looking to unite your community during the liturgy or enrich personal prayer, the guitar songbook makes it easy to bring these 12 songs to life and proclaim the goodness of our God, Creator and Father.

Engage your assembly with well-known songs
This prolific composer’s music has helped engage Latino-Americans in the liturgy for years. Continuing in the same vein as the previous two, this third volume in the anthology combines Espinosa’s most well-known songs in one uplifting collection. “These are the songs of God’s pilgrim Church,” explains the composer, “songs that speak of a God, Creator and Father who loves us and made us truly his children.”

Introduce classics to a new generation
From rock and blues to gospel and jazz, updated contemporary arrangements breathe new life into the music you know and love. Rediscover familiar songs or introduce classics to a new generation. The rich and beautiful instrumentation features electric guitars, keyboards and authentic Latin American instruments like zampoña (traditional Andean panpipe) and bombo legüero (a type of drum).

Celebrate the mystery of faith
With well-known titles like “El Señor Es Mi Fuerza” and “Santa María del Camino,” and songs that have been published in the US for the first time like “Anunciamos el Reino de Dios” and “Todos Unidos,” this collection features 12 songs that will be an inspiration to all who gather to celebrate the resurrection and life of our Lord and Savior.

Tracks: El Señor Es Mi Fuerza | Anunciamos el Reino de Dios | En la Noche, Míranos | Vamos Cantando al Señor | Seremos Tus Testigos | Un Mandamiento Nuevo | No Podemos Caminar | Madre del Salvador | Todo lo Podemos | Caminaré | El Espíritu de Dios | Santa María del Camino

A more driving, organic, intimate collection
For his new album, Tom Booth added a sweet Martin acoustic to his electric guitar and amps. A chamber orchestra squeezed in beside his rock band. The result: a more driving, organic, intimate collection. Like candles in a small chapel, the 12 songs on Captured illuminate the face of the Lord, guiding listeners to a place of deep prayer and praise.

Lyrics drawn from Scripture, saints and mystics
Drawing from Scripture, saints and mystics -- Thomas Merton, Charles de Foucauld and Teresa of Avila among themthe lyrics have startling theological depth. Contemplative, candid and serious, they challenge us to give Christ exclusive allegiance in our lives.

Lush orchestral arrangements by Don Hart
Some tracks feature lush orchestral arrangements by Grammy-nominated Nashville legend Don Hart. Its the perfect musical frame for these devotional texts. Players include Dave Cleveland on guitar and Carl Herrgesell (Elton John, Kenny Loggins) on Hammond organ and keyboards.

Loving God is more than "singing this song"
The album opens with "Can We Love?" This string-based ballad contends that loving God is more than "raising our hands" or even "singing this song." The refrain echoes Christs challenge to James and John: "Can we love? Can we lay down our lives? Can we wear His crown of thorns?"

Intense, acoustic title track warns against pride
The intense, acoustic title track warns against building our house on sand, our lives on selfishness. Separated from Christ through pride, we construct monuments -- doomed to fall. Randy Severences poetic text is unflinching: "under the weight of my own importance, / I am crumbling into a thousand grains of sand."

Beautiful ballad urging us toward "the poverty of Jesus"
"Empty" touches on these same themes. Another beautifully arranged ballad, it urges us to move "toward the poverty of Jesus," who emptied himself for us. Robert Feduccias refrain echoes both Job and St. Augustine: "Empty I came, empty I leave, / my heart is restless without you."

Rock anthem with snippets from a poem by St. Teresa
A lesson in detachment a la Lilies of the Field, "God Alone Is Enough" is a rock anthem that includes snippets from the famous poem by Teresa of Avila. "O Salutaris Hostia (O Saving Lamb)" only adds to the devotional nature of the collection. It's a welcome new contemporary setting of the timeless eucharistic hymn by Thomas Aquinas.

Folk-style cover of a classic Rich Mullins song
"Come, Holy Spirit" will be familiar from spiritandsong.coms The Commons and Never Too Young, OCP's middle school songbook. A cover of the classic song by Rich Mullins, "You Did Not Have a Home" is a folk-style tribute to the humanity-- and poverty-- of Christ: "The hope of the whole world rests / on the shoulders of a homeless man."

Psychedelic-rock meditation on Psalm 23
Arranged for synth pad, sitar and acoustic guitar, "You Are My Shepherd" is a psychedelic-rock meditation on Psalm 23. One of the more electric, vigorous tracks, "You Stand Knocking" proclaims loyalty to Christ -- and gratitude for grace and mercy: "though I wandered and have strayed, / still your mercy reigns."

"To be captured in [God's] storm of love is to be truly free"
As Tom explains in the liner notes, "To be captured is to be caught up in the exhilarating, sometimes frightening, but always life-giving storm of God's love. To allow oneself to be caught up or captured in this storm of love is to be truly free."

A masterpiece of contemporary Catholic music
Sporting an entirely new, more organic sound, Captured hearkens back to Tom's early work -- epic ballads like "I Will Choose Christ," "Here I Am" and "Fragrance Prayer." A masterpiece of contemporary Catholic music, it creates a place to encounter the living God.

It starts with a steady, electric bass and drums, then weaves a haunting, distorted guitar with a fierce rap about the mysteries of our faith. Then come samples of someone speaking slowly, with a heavy accent: "You young people, ask yourselves: Do I believe these words of Jesus in the Gospel?" Suddenly, as you tap your foot to the intoxicating rhythm, you realize it's the Holy Father, Pope John Paul II. Only Tom Booth could pull this off.

This is only the beginning of "Taste of Heaven," the Unity-Award-winning rock epic that anchors Tom's album. In the creation of Change Me, Tom was inspired by meditations upon the conversion process, which starts with an encounter with God then moves to this courageous prayer: "Change me, Lord." "Ultimately, the call to change is the call to love. Like Mary," he says, "May we say 'yes' and be changed."

This beautifully packaged disc features 13 original songs that alternate exhilarating rock and soulful blues with alt-country - marked by slide guitar - and reflective ballads. One of many highlights is "My Lady," which closes the album the way the Church closes her night prayers, with petitions and veneration to Mary.

No doubt about it, this guy's got a calling. A fisher of men, Chris has a musical net that draws every listener into renewed worship of the One True God. He meets us where we are, setting his down-to-earth songs in ordinary, day-to-day life. His funky, pop-rock title track, for instance, starts with "I met a homeless guy on Second Street a day or so ago." He goes on to show how you can change our world "by letting the world see Christ in you." It's a hopeful, empowering message you don't hear often enough.

Change Your World, Chris' second album, is an outstanding mix of ballads, energetic rock and pop songs. Friends Matt Maher and Tom Booth were involved in the production, playing guitar, mandolin and piano on several tracks.

Many of the 14 original songs have challenging biblical and sacramental themes, including "Extreme Presence." "Masterpiece," a spell-binging song with simple piano and cello accompaniment, speaks of the struggle to really believe each of us is a masterpiece created by God. "May these songs," Chris says in the liner notes, "strengthen you to live the great commission." Not surprisingly, Chris' music has already made many new disciples.

Introducing Ceili Rain, one of best-kept secrets in contemporary Christian music. Described as a cross between the Beatles and the Chieftains, this talented group adds button accordion, bagpipes, tin whistle and fiddle to the usual guitars and drums to create a flamboyant, Celtic-Irish flavored pop-rock sound you can't resist. Change in Your Pocket, their fourth and most recent album -- and first for OCP -- proves they continue to perfect this unique and mirthful style.

Led by Bob Halligan, Jr., Ceili Rain takes a gentle, roundabout approach to evangelizing. Knowing many folks "don't love to be preached at," they create music that speaks to us where we're at, presenting the Christian message in the context of everyday life. Intended for "kids from three to 93," as Bob puts it, the 12 original songs on Change in Your Pocket will reach even the most hard-hearted of us.

The title track suggests that even the smallest acts of charity can make an enormous difference: "With the change in your pocket you could change the world." Selected to appear on the Live It! compilation and one of this album's highlights, "Pencil in Your Hand" is a beautifully written pop gem asking God to let us be the pencil he uses to "write Your people a love letter." Disguised as a light-hearted baseball song, "This Is October" gently encourages us all to take seriously the work and service we've been called to.

Drummer Jerry Marotta, who has recorded with Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Sarah McLaughlan and many others, produced the collection. Jerry also plays drums here, joining the core band members on a number of tracks. Tony Levin, who has played with Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon and John Lennon, joins them on bass.

A versatile collection
Offering 20 songs, this versatile collection from longtime Catholic musician Tom Kendzia features music for all ages in a variety of styles, including traditional choral, lively pop/rock, gospel and jazz. Some of the songs come from Tom's previous collections. In fact, this album contains some of his earliest compositions such as "Pietà" and "I, the Lord."

Explore new songs
Also included are two brand new songs, both beautifully written. The title track is a wonderful new setting of the much-loved St. Patrick's Breastplate prayer, commissioned by a parish in Southbury, Connecticut, in memory of an Irish choir member. Composed for Ciaran Somers (Tom's good friend who works as a music teacher in Ireland), "May the Road Rise Up" features the voices of the students from Ciaran's class on the recording. With "May the Angels/Amazing Grace," Tom also offers a new arrangement in a gospel style that combines one of his older songs and "Amazing Grace." The recording showcases the extraordinary voice of ValLimar Jansen.

Enjoy music for liturgy and reflection
The music throughout the collection is quite varied, appealing to many different types of church musicians and anyone who appreciates contemporary sacred music. The instrumentation is equally diverse, including brass, flute, fiddle, electric guitar, organ, drums, Uilleann pipes and more. With simple melodies and easy-to-sing lyrics, songs like "Sing Hosanna" and "As a Doe" will be great additions to any liturgy or celebration. Others would also be ideal for meditation and personal reflection, including "The Path of Your Return" and "Chill of the Nightfall."

Recently appearing on Tom Booth's Captured and Jackie François' Your Kingdom is Glorious, Trevor fully demonstrates his vocal and songwriting talents in his first full album in over six years. Triumphant and eclectic, Christ in Me Arise bears powerful witness to the passion, death and resurrection of our Lord.

Evoke the soaring vocals of Coldplay's Chris Martin
Featured on The Commons (spiritandsong.com's streaming video series), the title track speaks of overcoming the trials of life with the hope that only Christ can offer—great for Preparation of Gifts. "Immortal, Invisible" gathers some of the biggest names in contemporary Catholic music, including Tom Booth, Matt Maher and Danielle Rose! On the poetic "Firefly," Trevor's soaring vocals are reminiscent of Chris Martin's (Coldplay) work on "Yellow" and "Fix You."

Combine liturgical sensibility with rich layers of guitar
The driving guitar stylings of Taylor Johnson—who's recorded albums with The David Crowder Band and Robbie Seay—are showcased throughout the CD. Combined with Trevor's emotion and liturgical sensibility, these rich layers of flavor lift the songs to a whole new level.

Inspire young and old in worship
Trevor Thomson has a proven track record of inspiring congregations of all ages.

Rejoice in our salvation

Contemplation through spirituality and the arts
Musician, composer, author, teacher and monk. Cyprian Consiglio is a man of many dimensions, but his music and teachings revolve around one central theme: answering the Universal Call to Contemplation through spirituality and the arts.

Music celebrates 25-year career
Echo of Your Peace gathers songs from a rich tapestry of music spanning 25 years. This diverse collection includes tracks from his first album (There Is a Light), all three of his projects with longtime collaborator John Pennington, as well as compositions recorded specifically for this compilation.

Amazing variety of musical styles
Full of tight harmonies, "There Is a Light" gives the album a soulful a cappella opening. "Echo of Your Peace" showcases Cyprian's incredible vocal range in a powerful, soaring plea. Text drawn from Harriet Kolfak's poem is beautifully brought to life in "Awakening." "Sab Bhole" features masterful acoustic guitar work that acts as extended meditations on the lovely mantras of this Hindi song. East meets west in "Spirit in the Cave of the Heart," as bluegrass acoustic guitar exists in harmony with chanting of the English translation of an Indian bhajan.

Reflection of love for comparative religion
This collection is a powerful reflection of Cyprian's great love for comparative religion. A distinct turn to the East, both musically and spiritually, can be heard halfway through the CD. Echo of Your Peace provides both new and longtime fans an album that captures the variety of musical styles Cyprian employs to sing of hope, peace and healing.

Tracks: There Is a Light | Echo of Your Peace | Behind and Before Me | Streams of Living Water | As One Unkown | Asato ma/Lead Me from Death Into Life | Awakening | For God Alone | Sab Bhole | Moon in My Body | He Prabhu | Compassionate and Wise | Spirit in the Cave of the Heart | Vedahametam

A breakout recording for Matt Maher
Empty and Beautiful was a breakout recording from the biggest name in contemporary Catholic music. Sporting a luscious pop-rock sound -- and a cross-centered Gospel message -- these 12 songs will go far beyond his usual circle of fans.

Balances edgy and delicate, corporate and introspective
The album balances edgy and delicate, corporate and introspective. It's an appropriate context considering the paradoxes Matt presents here. Besides the beauty of "emptiness," he invites us to see and embrace the hidden gifts in life's challenges: "this thorn in my side is a grace," he sings in the title track.

Mesmerizing title track features lushly orchestrated strings
That mesmerizing song opens with a sobering confession: "In this prison there's a fight between who I am and who I used to be." Backed by solo piano and lushly orchestrated strings, Matt sings of the solution: let Jesus "fight the fight in me," and die to self: "A libation, I'm pouring out, empty and beautiful."

A rock ballad of epic proportions
At six minutes long, "Unwavering" is a rock ballad of epic proportions. Based on the Beatitudes, it opens by affirming God's unwavering voice, hand, heart, will and plan. Eventually its gentle tone and leisurely pace give way to a muscular, electric wall of sound. The song closes with this prayer: "send us out to be your hands and feet."

Builds to an amazing intensity then ends with a hush
Echoing the album's central theme, "Lay It Down" speaks of the total -- not partial -- surrender Christ calls us to. Over the opening acoustic guitar, Matt sings, "Everything I am, everything I long to be, I lay it down at your feet." The song builds to an amazing intensity then ends with a hush.

Hard-driving songs in praise of God's "absurdly" generous love
"Like a Fool" is a kinetic song of praise for God's "absurdly" generous, unconditional love. Humorous and homey, it gives us permission -- and encouragement -- to be "fools" for Christ. "Shine Like the Son" is a hard-driving track about reflecting Christ to the world and spreading -- not hoarding -- the grace he's given.

Opens with an ultra-polished new version of "Your Grace Is Enough"
The opening track is a slick, ultra-polished new version of "Your Grace Is Enough," Matt's smash hit from Welcome to Life. This pop gem gained a life of its own when Chris Tomlin covered it on his 2004 album Arriving.

"Our emptiness," Matt says, "is a window to joy"
"The realization of our own emptiness without God," Matt explains, "is both a moment of sadness and a window to joy." To lay down one's life for the Gospel in service of God and neighbor is a reflection of the beauty of God. That is our charge as Christians, and that is where these songs came from."

A forceful sound perfected through three previous albums
Snug within this album's forceful sound -- perfected through three previous albums and years of touring -- is a Christian message deserving an imprimatur. Matt's theology -- as always -- is rock solid. Empty of all pretense, his fourth release is beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

The CD for Albert Coppo's first full collection with OCP, En la Mesa del Señor (At the Lord's table), offers eight Spanish songs for liturgy. Along with songs for seasons and special feasts, there are general songs for liturgy, including songs for gathering, Communion, sending forth and more.

Ten new songs to encourage you
Powerful and poignant, Even in This, the fifth album from Josh Blakesley and his band offers ten new songs for praise and worship, contemplation and solace. Though the songs touch on a variety of topics, including trusting God, thankfulness and surrender, the overarching message is that, regardless of our current situation, God is with us.

Music that reflects their southern heritage
Fast and slow, upbeat and thoughtful, this collection reflects the musical versatility of Josh and his band members: Grae McCullough, Christian Gaudet and Blake Powell. Two of the tracks on the album highlight the band members' southern roots. The kick of the bass drum and the twang of the banjo in "Revive Us" make it almost impossible for you not to clap your hands to the upbeat, downhome sound. Accented by brass, synthesizer and organ, "Brighter Days" features jazzy vocals from Josh à la Stevie Wonder with lyrics that speak of looking on the bright side of life.

Beautiful songs with a powerful message
For this collection Josh collaborated with a number of veteran text writers, including Grammy-nominated Sarah Hart. She offered her writing talents on five of the ten songs, including the moving title track, a powerful song about finding hope in the darkest valleys of life. For "Here at the Cross," a song of invitation that will fit beautifully into any liturgy, the whole band collaborated on the lyrics. In the liner notes, Josh reflects on the circumstances that led the band to make this album: "I am forever changed by what I have seen and pray that when I am tested...I will have the courage to run to God, Even in This." That those words would ring true for all of us.

Already well known in contemporary Christian music circles as a superb songwriter, Trevor got the producer and musicians he needed to create a recording that does justice to his excellent compositions. Featuring a polished, guitar-driven rock sound-from straightforward, classic rock tunes to moody, beat-driven numbers-and Trevor's distinctive vocals, Eyes to You is as good as it gets.

Trevor recorded the album in Los Angeles at a studio that has hosted the likes of Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, No Doubt and Ryan Adams. Throughout production he worked alongside masters of the industry and some of the most sought-after musicians in the L.A. music scene, including the renowned Josh Freese (A Perfect Circle, The Vandals) on drums, Michael Ward (The Wallflowers) on guitar, and Kevin Stoller (Stevie Nicks) on the Hammond B3 organ. The result is an album that has gained the respect of both the Christian and mainstream music industries.

Musicianship aside, the true beauty of this collection lies in its spirituality: Trevor's lyrics speak of God's mercy, love, freedom and forgiveness. The title track calls us to acknowledge our distractions, fears and failings, then turn and fix our eyes on Jesus. When we do this, we begin to see Christ in every facet of our lives. But it also refers to God, whose eyes are turned to us, full of love and mercy. Other highlights include "Freedom," "Healing Waters" and "The Return."

Between the release of this hot album and his aggressive touring schedule, a lot of eyes are on this super-gifted musician right now, and deservedly so.

Chris is all too familiar with the obstacles and sacrifices involved in living a life of faith in our secular culture.

In his debut album, he offers a musical kind of encouragement, inspired by St. Paul's words to Timothy: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." Featuring 11 original, pop-rock tracks, Fight the Fight established Chris as a major player in contemporary Christian music.

Among many others, the diocese of Phoenix took particular notice of this release, selecting "Come Home" as theme song for their Year of the Father celebrations. Chris later produced a video for the song that was used in a national program encouraging wounded ex-Catholics to return to the church. Other highlights include "New Jerusalem," "Faith of a Child" and "Was That You, Lord?," a touching song reminding us that God sometimes comes to us in disguise. Featuring Matt Maher on keyboards, Fight the Fight is great listening that gives strength in the face of life's challenges.

A musical invitation to make ready the way of the Lord
Tom's second album is exciting and evangelical, a musical invitation to wait for the Lord, to prepare for His coming, to make a place for Jesus in our hearts: "Find us ready, Lord, not standing still. Find us working and loving and doing your will. Find us ready, Lord, faithful in love, building the kingdom that's here and above."

Contemporary songs for listening and liturgy
Combining rock, pop, jazz, reggae, gospel, praise and choral styles, Find Us Ready offers 13 original songs for both listening and the liturgy.

Music for confirmation, retreats, Advent, Lent
It includes songs for Lent, Advent, confirmation and retreats, as well as psalm settings and selected Mass parts. It also includes the original version of Tom's "I Will Choose Christ," which was recorded by Kathy Troccoli and captured the number one spot on Christian radio stations across the country. The title track is a rousing gospel ballad with great saxophone and gospel choir parts.

Huge supporting cast
Backed by a veritable orchestra of supporting musicians and vocalists, more than 40 of them listed in the liner notes, Find Us Ready features guest appearances by Cyprian Consiglio on vocals and John Pennington on drums.

A mix of fun and funky, smooth and slow, this eight-song MP3 album offers music for liturgy that spans the gamut from gentle guitar-based ballad and choral praise anthem to hard-rocking indie pop.

The songs fans have been waiting for
As the theme song for the 2009 Religious Education Congress, "Love Unfolding" became a surprise hit. People immediately wanted the song, but there was one small problem: it wasn't on any of Josh's albums. Now, "Love Unfolding" and other unreleased concert favorites are finally available on one CD, giving Josh Blakesley fans the songs they've been waiting for!

Moving recordings showcase Josh's penetrating voice
Self-produced alongside well-known producer, engineer and mixer Jeff Thomas, Free gathers some of the most popular praise and worship titles onto one record. The four original songs and six cover songs showcase Josh's penetrating voice and harness the energy of his live performances.

Powerful original compositions
Featured on spiritandsong.com's online video series, The Commons, "Sing Hosanna" is a growing Palm Sunday favorite for churches across the country. "Where We Belong" is nothing short of a joyful anthem. Summing up the album with beautiful simplicity, the stripped-down and personal "Whiter Than Snow" speaks to how, in Jesus, we are set free of the guilt that we all hold onto.

Passionate renditions of classic songs
The soaring "I Am Free" opens the album with purpose. "Everlasting God" possesses a playfully dynamic contrast between verse and chorus. "Hosanna" envelops you with the haunting guitar work of Dave Cleveland. "Rescue" features crushingly gorgeous backing vocals from Audrey Assad. The earnest "How Great Is Our God" will have listeners swaying in unison.

Shows the depth of God's love for us
Josh's third album shows the depth of God's love for us. From powerful original compositions to passionate renditions of classic songs, his music brings us closer to the love of Christ in heaven and the ministry of his people on earth.

Captures the impact of music used in national workshops
After witnessing the incredible impact spirituals had in their presentations across the country, ValLimar Jansen and Tom Kendzia knew it was something that needed to be captured in the studio. The results are nothing short of spectacular.

Speaks to listeners of all ages and all walks of life
Ten of the most well known spirituals are re-imagined with arrangements featuring contemporary drum loops, keyboards and the "eSKape Singers" youth choir from South Kingston High School. ValLimar's brilliant lead vocals put the finishing touch on an infectious collection that will speak to listeners of all ages and all walks of life.

Captivating, uplifting and soulful
The title track kicks off the album with a joyful invitation for all of God's children to "Get on Board." "Wade in the Water" exudes a smooth jazzy groove and captivatingly intense vocals that never seem to rise above a whisper. A thumping drum loop serves as the heartbeat to the uplifting "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." ValLimar's soulful riffing in "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah" will have listeners shifting from side to side and clapping their hands with this bluesy gospel anthem.

Fresh new version of "Come by Here" (Kum-Ba Yah)
An intimate percussion opening makes way to the delicate arpeggio of acoustic guitar. The choir anchors the steady pace of this song, while strings contribute an ethereal, ambient element. Effortless lead vocals playfully intertwine with each other, while piano runs and melodic inflections add dimension as the song builds through each key change.

Introduces timeless classics to new generation
This collection masterfully honors the rich tradition of these timeless classics, while introducing them to a new generation of listeners to enjoy. Youth ministers: are you looking for a way to get the future of your parish excited about their faith? Look no further than Get on Board.

Tracks: Get on Board | Come by Here | Wade in the Water | In My Heart (Lord I Want to Be a Christian) | Steal Away | Down by the Riverside | Swing Low, Sweet Chariot | Glory, Glory, Hallelujah | This Little Light of Mine | Go Tell It on the Mountain

Attending a Hermana Glenda concert is truly an inspiring experience. She has a unique gift for renewing faith and opening hearts to the love of our Lord through the power of her music.

Packed with 15 of her most beloved titles like "Tú mi Alfarero," "Ven, Señor Jesús" and "Nada Es Imposible para Ti"—sung while Pope John Paul gave Communion at World Youth Day 2002 in Toronto—this incredible collection of contemporary Spanish songs is the next best thing to seeing her in person.

Plus, go deeper into the music with insights and anecdotes between songs from Hermana Glenda herself.

Inspiring music for your spiritual journey
Throughout his young life, Iván Díaz has learned what it means to be fully reliant on God—trusting that his will is perfect. With Honor y Gloria a Él (Honor and glory be to God), he has created a collection of songs that invite us to be filled with God's love, joy and strength, songs meant to inspire us in the midst of our struggles.

Music for liturgy as well as praise and worship
A pop album with hints of rock and Latin influences, Honor y Gloria a Él features a contemporary sound with songs that can be used in the liturgy as well as for praise and worship. With themes of adoration, hope, happiness, celebration and more, these Spanish-language songs could easily be incorporated into prayer and youth groups, charismatic events and ministry retreats.

Songs of hope and adoration
Probably considered a favorite by those familiar with his music, “Brilla” is a song about hope with a beautiful melody and simple instrumentation. The title track fills a void for communities searching for a song for eucharistic adoration. Its simple melody and lyrics make it easy to learn and allow us to fully contemplate the Body of Christ. Working with a number of Grammy-nominated and -winning musicians, singers and producers, Iván has achieved a vibrant and moving collection that truly does honor and glorify God.

Tracks: A la Trinidad | Brilla | Honor y Gloria a Él | Ven y Restáurame | ¡Aleluya! ¡Alaben el Nombre del Señor! | Nombre sobre Todo Nombre | Soy Tu Siervo, Señor

This debut album is a hidden treasure, a little known set of contemporary Christian pearls. Trevor is one of the best songsmiths—and most effective musical evangelists—out there, and it shows in these 12 original songs.

Several songs utilize Caribbean rhythms and percussion, including "The Path of Life," a rousing reggae setting of Psalm 16. Marked by passionate vocals and beautiful harmonies, the title track speaks of the power of fellowship and the presence of God where two or more are gathered: "We are gathered as people who are living the Word. Our hearts and our spirits are nurtured by grace. It is Jesus who fills us; He is here in this place."

Other highlights include "In You, Lord," a delightful ballad based on Psalm 131. Tom Booth makes an appearance, supplying his usual magic touch on backup vocals, electric guitar and mandolin. The album closes with Trevor honoring Mary in a haunting, solo, a cappella rendition of Schubert's "Ave Maria." These days, Trevor is making quite a name for himself. It all started with In This Place.

Inspired by the live performances of a beloved artist
Steve Angrisano is one of spiritandsong.com's most successful artists at not only reaching youth and young adults, but the wider Church as a whole. Born out of doing more than 100 events per year, Steve's preaching and message from those events are the underpinnings for the songs found on Inescapable Love.

His most collaborative album yet
His most collaborative album yet -- featuring songs co-written by Sarah Hart, Marc Byrd, Audrey Assad and Dwight Liles -- Steve delivers a wide array of songs sure to become liturgical and praise and worship classics... as well as a couple of surprises. Elements of bluegrass really come through with fiddle and dobro (yes, dobro) making appearances on an album that pays subtle homage to Steve's Southern roots.

Captures experiences we struggle to put into words
Comprised of 11 diverse originals and a cover fans will instantly recognize from his live shows, Inescapable Love builds upon Steve's ability to capture the profound, common experiences that we all struggle to put into words.

Great variety of styles
"One Step Away" reminds teens that no matter how far they may feel from God, they truly are just one step away. The down-home country feel of "Plow Your Row" features a beautiful duet with newcomer Audrey Assad. "Living God" -- with its old school 70s rock guitars -- takes you by surprise with a couple of head-banging moments. In his cover of Jared Anderson's "Amazed By You," you can't help but imagine Steve smiling as he sings "Lord, I'm amazed by you. How you love me."

Two new Eucharistic songs!
While best known for his contemporary songs of praise, Steve is also committed to providing the Church with inspiring and valuable liturgical pieces. That commitment is wholly evident in "Many and One" and "We Remember, We Believe," two unforgettable Eucharistic songs. Inescapable Love typifies the totality of Steve's ministry, preaching hope and the closeness of God in our lives.

Tracks: Come and See | Pour Out Your Love | Falling Into You | Living God | Plow Your Row | One Step Away | You Are God | The Lord Will Bless (Psalm 29) | Many and One | All the Glory | We Remember, We Believe | Amazed By You

Dedicated to evangelization through music, Hermana Glenda has touched the lives of countless believers around the world. Rediscover 18 of her earliest songs with rich, new instrumental recordings that are ideal for personal reflection or praying the Scripture texts.

Plus, enjoy videos for "Ven, Señor Jesús" and "Pide y Se Te Dará"—both included on this enhanced CD.

Tracks: Si Conocieras el Don de Dios (John 4:10) | No Soy Digno (Luke 7:6) | Mi Padre Está en Lo Secreto (Matthew 6:6) | Ven, Señor Jesús [(Revelation 22:20) (video)] | Las Aguas No Podrán Apagar el Amor (Song of Songs 8:7) | ¿Dónde Vives? (John 1:38) | Pide y Se Te Dará (video) | Tú Mi Alfarero (Jeremiah 18:2–6) | Nada Es Imposible para Ti (Luke 1, 37) | Tú Tienes Palabras de Vida (John 6:68) | Quien Pierde su Vida la Encuentra (Mark 8:35) | Para qué Me Sirve (Matthew 16:26) | Tú Eres el Agua Viva (Ezekiel 36:23–28) | No Juzgues (Matthew 7:1–2) | Quien Ha Encontrado un Amigo (Sirach 6:14) | Tú Sabes que Te Amo (John 21:17) | Tú Me Has Seducido (Jeremiah 20:7–9) | Yo Creo en Tu Resurrección

Sarah's latest collection is an intimate self-portrait, a musical window offering glimpses into the rooms of her life, each of them containing, she says, "a little part of me." It's a rare and wonderful opportunity to get to know this charming, spirited, gifted artist and sister in Christ. Featuring Sarah's joyous folk-pop style and poetic, introspective lyrics, Into These Rooms is impressive for its spiritual depth and sophisticated, multi-layered, tightly produced sound.

Highlights include "For a Little While," a hauntingly tender piano-ballad/lullaby that captures the bittersweet pang every mother experiences while holding her sleeping newborn. Co-written by Texas rocker Curtis Stephan, who also provides edgy harmony on the song, "Be with Me, Lord" is a poignant duet pleading for God's help and a superb new setting of Psalm 91.

Featuring ethereal guitar work by the legendary Phil Keaggy, "The Hillside" is an eerie, fantastic musical depiction of the soul's "restless" journey through the clouds, shadows and contrary winds of this world. Other special contributors include Scott Dente (Out of the Grey), Mark Hill, Jerry McPherson, Dave Cleveland, Jeff Roach and Ken Lewis.

Listeners who enter into the rooms of Sarah's music can't help but feel like part of the family, like an unexpected guest received with generous hospitality. After visiting and hearing her sing of God's mercy, we all leave a little happier and a little more sure we're not alone on this spiritual journey.

This 11-song CD by Jenny Pixler in collaboration with Tom Booth features music in a wide range of styles including rock, funk, R&B, pop, blues and folk.

Life You're Living is a musical testament to how we should live as Christians.

Draws listeners in to lose themselves in simple prayer
Adding instrumentation layer by layer, "Bread of Heaven" dynamically builds into a moving plea to God.

Sarah Hart joins Jesse on "Give Us Your Peace," drawing listeners in to lose themselves in simple prayer. "Shelter" is a joyful jam.

New recordings of "Glory to God Most High" and "Open My Eyes"
Life You're Living features new recordings of two songs familiar to longtime fans of Jesse's music. "Glory to God Most High" gets updated with bluesy guitar riffs and extended versions of verses two and three that breathe new life into a soulful classic.

Steve's first album offers contemporary songs that tap the often-hidden spirituality in all of us, songs that challenge us to be agents of positive change in the world.

Created in collaboration with Tom Tomaszek, Make a Difference is well-produced, rhythmic, funky and jazzy, mixing spirited pop tracks and gorgeous, wispy ballads. Highlights include "My Soul Is Thirsting" and the ever-popular "Go, Make a Difference," with its irresistible refrain and hand movements -- familiar to those who've witnessed Steve's inspiring performances at World Youth Days and other events.

The collection includes three psalm settings and Steve's beautifully composed contemporary Mass setting, Mass of a Joyful Heart.

Steve dedicates the songs to "all the youthful voices" he has met and the difference they have made in his life and in the life of the Church. "I believe God gives us the tools and the vision to make miracles happen in this world," he says. "We are challenged every day to turn up our collar in the face of adversity and walk on. No matter what."

This is the MP3 playlist for Mass for Our Lady of Light, a new Mass setting by Jesse Manibusan and Remi Fonseca Bauer.

This crossover style Mass setting will appeal to both contemporary and traditional worshiping communities, meeting the needs of a variety of assemblies. By adding percussion and guitar, it can be a lively Mass for a contemporary ensemble. Or try it with bells and wind instruments to create a more majestic sound. With parts for the entire liturgy, and both a refrain version and through-composed version of the Glory to God, it is thorough and is sure to prove a welcome addition to any parish's repertoire.

By naming the Mass for the Blessed Mother, the composers' hope is not only to honor her but to convey a sense of joy, comfort and celebration to those present in the liturgies where it is sung.

The four sample tracks in this MP3 album will guide pastoral musicians and choirs in the tempos and uplifting feel of this dynamic new Mass setting.

The first recording of this Mass setting, Acoustic Settings will appeal to anyone who enjoys music with a more modern feel, especially teens and young adults. It's simplicity also lends itself well to Life Teen groups, summer camps and other youth and young adult retreats.

NEW expanded edition
Originally only available as a digital download, Tim Smith's Mass of the Sacred Heart is now being published with expanded print and recording versions. With flowing melodies and simple harmonies, it's the perfect setting to truly highlight the sacred Mass texts.

Perfect for any assembly
Tim's years spent as a music minister have led him to appreciate the wide variety of music that can be employed to support worship during Mass. His goal was to create a setting that could be sung in a wide range of assemblies and the end result of all his hard work is an easy-to-learn melody that exhibits both traditional and contemporary qualities, perfect for assemblies of all ages.

Choose the style that suits your parish
One of the exciting additions to this expanded version is the inclusion of two different recordings for several of the Mass parts. The piano/guitar recordings demonstrate the simplicity and beauty of the melody and feature fellow OCP composer Santiago Fernández on the guitar and professional violinist and virtuoso Sonia Lee. The organ/brass versions were recorded in St. Mary's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland, Oregon, and offer a fuller, more traditional sound.

NEW expanded edition
Originally only available as a digital download, Tim Smith's Mass of the Sacred Heart is now being published with expanded print and recording versions. With flowing melodies and simple harmonies, it's the perfect setting to truly highlight the sacred Mass texts.

Perfect for any assembly
Tim's years spent as a music minister have led him to appreciate the wide variety of music that can be employed to support worship during Mass. His goal was to create a setting that could be sung in a wide range of assemblies and the end result of all his hard work is an easy-to-learn melody that exhibits both traditional and contemporary qualities, perfect for assemblies of all ages.

Choose the style that suits your parish
One of the exciting additions to this expanded version is the inclusion of two different recordings for several of the Mass parts. The piano/guitar recordings demonstrate the simplicity and beauty of the melody and feature fellow OCP composer Santiago Fernández on the guitar and professional violinist and virtuoso Sonia Lee. The organ/brass versions were recorded in St. Mary's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland, OR, and offer a fuller, more traditional sound. The use of the brass instruments rounds out the sound beautifully and displays the full potential of this versatile setting.

Great for listening or learning, the Misa Santa Teresita del Niño Jesús MP3 album offers recording of all the songs in this contemporary Spanish Mass setting. Azeneth Gonzalez's powerful vocals beautifully bring each song to life.

Misa del Mundo -- Spanish for "Mass of the world" -- is Jesse's gift to the multicultural Church.

Features song texts in an amazing number of languages
Contemporary and international in style, this innovative Mass setting serves to unify the many ethnic communities that make up the universal Church. It's a liturgy with lyrics in an amazing number of languages, including Spanish, English, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Chinese, Portuguese, Polish, Tongan, Chamoru and Filipino.

Includes "Malo, Malo, Thanks Be to God," one of Jesse's all-time favorites
The collection includes "Malo, Malo, Thanks Be to God," one of Jesse's most popular compositions. This catchy, multilingual song of gratitude was selected to appear on Light of the World, the official CD of World Youth Day 2002. "No Longer the Stranger," a dreamy, swaying ballad, is another highlight. Marked by shimmering percussion and bird calls, "Agua Viva" closes the album with a hush.

Backed by a multilingual choir and folk percussion instruments
Jesse shares the lead vocals with Lidia Carlos Reynes on most tracks, accompanied by the Vast Assembly Singers, a large multilingual choir. The music also features impressive array of folk percussion instruments, which adds to the earthy, international flavor: rain sticks, chajchas, blocks, caixixi, kjembe, ganza, doumbek, finger cymbals, tambourine and others.

Includes helpful pronunciation guide
Besides the Mass setting and five multi-purpose songs, the recording includes a helpful pronunciation guide. Word by word, Jesse slowly and carefully explains and models the correct pronunciation for many of the foreign terms.

God is often perceived as a being who watches the play of life from some lofty perch. The 12 original songs on Sarah's second album lead to a discovery of the obvious God who moves among us in everyday life. He is especially present, Sarah suggests, in the people around us: "...In the faces of our friends you are obvious. In the faces of our friends you are clear. And through the hearts of those we love you reach for us; In the faces of our friends, you are here."

Packed with nearly an hour of music, Obvious is one of the best contemporary Christian releases of the last few years. Acoustic guitar, keyboards and subdued percussion mesh with Sarah's lilting voice to form a delightful and original folk-pop sound.

Sarah has been called a "contemporary troubadour" and a "modern-day poet" for her lyrical melodies and poignant song texts. The songs on Obvious show why. Drawing from Gospel truths, ancient prayers and her own spiritual journey, Sarah writes songs that uplift and convict, tickle and empathize, from the humble admission of fear in "I'm Not Alone" and the mystical, haunting petitions of "The Breastplate of St. Patrick" to the humorous sarcasm and warning of "Any Road."

Intimate, heartfelt and inspiring, Obvious is Christian songwriting at its best.

Drawing on 14 biblical texts and Marian traditions that have touched her heart, Hermana Glenda creates a musical homage to our Holy Mother. This wonderful collection of songs provides a contemplative accompaniment for praying with Mary and encourages us to follow her simple, yet profound example: "Let it be done unto me."

Tracks: Ahí Tienes a Tu Madre (John 19:26–27) | Hágase en Mí (Luke 1:38) | Magnificat Lucas (Luke 1:46–55) | Guardabas en Tu Corazón (Luke 2:50–52) | La Mujer y el Dragón (Revelation 12:1–13) | Bendita Sea Tu Pureza (Marian Tradition) | Letanías (Litanies) | María (Discernment) | Discípulo Amado (John 19:27) | No Me Des Riquezas, ni Pobreza (Proverbs 30:8–9) | Madre de Consolación (Discernment) | Ángelus | Alégrate, María (Luke 1:28–35) | Hagan Todo Lo Que Él Les Diga (John 2:5)

San Juan de la Cruz (translated: Saint John of the Cross) is known for his poetry and studies on the soul. Through 15 masterfully-composed spiritual choruses, Hermana Glenda creates an atmosphere of stillness and contemplation that invites you to lose yourself in prayer as you follow in the footsteps of this revered Spanish mystic

The letters of St. Paul contain the essence of Pauline theology. Setting music to 13 distinctive texts — from Colossians, Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians and Romans — Hermana Glenda beautifully captures the teachings of a man who was instrumental in spreading the good news to all people.

Orar con el Corazón (translated: praying with your heart) is the perfect title for this album. Each of these 14 Scripture-based songs quiets the mind and penetrates the listener to the core, allowing for the discovery of God's most important message: we are loved.

It exceeds every expectation
Matt Maher's album exceeds every expectation. As one industry insider put it, it "crackles with energy." A musical testament to God's overflowing blessings, these 14 songs speak powerfully of what it means to be Christian in the third millennium.

Cool, playful, driving sound
The title track is a cool, easy-paced piece inviting God -- in his word and sacramental presence -- to overflow in us. Bursting with joy, "Resurrection Day" jumps and hops. Its playful, driving sound and unforgettable refrain draw you in to savor the freedom Christ won for us.

A breathless, thrilling ride
Matt really cuts loose on "Everything You've Done." A celebration of God's gifts, it starts out innocently enough. But suddenly he doubles its two-beat rock tempo and you're whisked away on a breathless, thrilling ride that ends with a flurry of guitars and musical fireworks. You can't help but "dance for the Lord."

Lush, alternative-rock arrangements
"Timeless" is a brilliant adaptation of Suzanne Toolan's "Jesus Christ, Yesterday, Today and Forever." Matt weaves the refrain from that haunting, Taizé-style song into his own lush, alternative-rock arrangement.

Intense, full-blooded covers
Two of the biggest surprises are "Come to the Water" and "Adoration." You just wouldn't expect to find "Tantum Ergo," a traditional eucharistic hymn, and a 1978 John Foley song here. But Matt pulls it off -- and then some. His intense, electric, full-blooded versions take these classics to a new level -- without squandering any of the original reverence.

Pop masterpieces
"Hear and Now" is a pop masterpiece assuring us that God's kingdom is here "in our midst," not some pie in the sky. Opening with a wispy, acoustic guitar, "Unwavering" eases you in to rest in God's "unwavering hand."

With Overflow, Matt's visionary songwriting once again leads listeners closer to the heart of God.

Hard-hitting Motor City sound
Recorded in Detroit with outstanding personnel and production, Persuaded features a gripping, hard-hitting Motor City sound. It's straightforward rock-and-roll spiced with percussive piano, harmonica, Hammond organ, and other hints of funk, gospel and rhythm and blues. Balancing down-to-earth realities with hope-filled spiritual insights, these 12 new songs speak to all who've been persuaded to follow Jesus.

A fascinating musical portrait of conversion
From the doubts of the first songs to the faith of the final tracks, the album is a fascinating musical portrait of conversion. Though it springs in part from TR's personal experience, the story isn't autobiographical. It speaks of the ongoing surrender we're all called to, young and not so young.

Soulful opening track jumps with rhythm
Jumping with rhythm, the soulful opening track, "Something Gotta Go," captures perfectly the challenge of giving our lives fully to Christ-and the confusion that marks our pre-conversion days. "Cast Your Net" is a vivid retelling of the post-resurrection appearance of Christ to the apostles, complete with a crackling fire on the shore of the Sea of Galilee.

The album's obvious center of gravity
Echoing St. Paul's reassurance in Romans, the intense title track reminds us that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. Other highlights include "God Never Changes" and "In My Heart and in My Tears," the album's obvious center of gravity. Opening with a funeral scene, the laying of a "brother to his rest," this poignant ballad can't help but put a catch in your throat.

A new contemporary setting of a classic hymn
Appropriately, the album closes with "Blessed Assurance" TR's new contemporary setting of the classic hymn text by Fanny Crosby. A beefed up version of his previous arrangement, it brings the conversion story full circle, to a place of complete trust in God.

Outstanding songwriting, dazzling musicianship
Long respected in contemporary Catholic music circles for his distinctive psalm settings, TR Smith has outdone himself with this new release. The songwriting is outstanding, giving listeners something to chew on. The musicianship is dazzling, especially TR's keyboard wizardry. Gritty, honest and spiritually relevant, Persuaded is an exceptional musical companion for us modern-day pilgrims.

Are you looking for a unique and exciting twist on classic Christmas carols? Look no further. ValLimar Jansen's latest collection for Advent and Christmas season will have you singing along with these familiar songs in a whole new way.

Working with her talented husband, Frank Jansen, ValLimar has succeeded in bringing us an innovative and contemporary take on songs like "Go Tell It on the Mountain," "What Child Is This" and "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen."

Throughout the collection, funky rhythms and counter melodies abound. "Silent Night," for example, starts out soft and simply, but the surprise comes half-way through when the rhythm picks up and "The First Noel" is added as a counter-melody.

Of special note, ValLimar and Frank's arrangement of the ancient "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" melody will absolutely take your breath away. It is a definite must-listen! Burleigh Drummond of the band Ambrosia is another highlight, making an appearance on the drums throughout the entire collection.

From the first song to the very last, Rejoice! A Christmas Journey is pure artistry.

His first exclusive release for OCP/spiritandsong.com
What could be more countercultural than following Christ? That's the kind of revolution Curtis Stephan instigates in his latest album -- his first exclusive release for OCP and spiritandsong.com. Featuring his signature hard-driving sound and look-you-in-the-eye lyrics, these 14 tracks attest to the power of an authentic life of faith to change the world. It's one revolution we should all join, without hesitation.

Rapid-fire, alt-rock gems, edgy lead guitar
The title track builds slowly then floods the ear-scape with layers of sound, demanding nothing less than total commitment: "Rise up, rise up, let us stand and be a witness to the love that makes a difference." "To the Extreme" is a gripping, rapid-fire, alt-rock gem with a mesmerizing and edgy lead guitar line.

NCYC Theme Song, other highlights
Other highlights include "Winds of Change," the 2005 NCYC theme song, which Curtis wrote and recorded with fellow Texan and friend Jesse Manibusan, and a nice cover of "My Reward," by Dove-award-winning songwriter and popular CCM artist Paul Baloche.

A deeply evocative take on the funeral antiphon
The strongest track of all may be "In Paradisum/Pastures of the Lord," a deeply evocative medley blending Curtis' contemporary setting of the Latin antiphon chanted at the end of the funeral Mass ("May the angels lead you into paradise ") and a breathtaking ballad that anticipates the joys of heaven.

The work of a revolutionary Christian songwriter
Never one to make compromises, Curtis once again proves the revolutionary, both as a musician and as a Christian songwriter. Innovative and ambitious, Sacred Revolution challenges us to follow the One who held nothing back in order to save us.

Wisdom from saints throughout the ages
Six years ago, Sarah Hart stumbled across the Anima Christi in an old prayer book her mother used as a child. Awed by the beauty of this ancient prayer, she set it to music ("I truly couldn't help myself"), then began searching for more. The first collection of its kind, SaintSong is a contemporary montage featuring wisdom from saints throughout the ages.

11 new contemporary songs in Sarah's folk-pop style
The collection presents 11 brand new compositions in Sarah's inimitable folk-pop style. Texts include poems, prayers and other writings by some of the Church's most revered doctors and theologians. St. Augustine figures prominently, as do women mystics like Catherine of Siena, Hildegard of Bingen and Mechthild of Magdeburg.

CD booklet contains devotional and catechetical material
With sub-sections titled Read, Reflect, Respond and Rest (in the CD booklet), each song becomes a devotional and catechetical exercise. "Read" features the complete song text along with a short bio of the saintly author. In "Reflect," Sarah shares her personal thoughts on the text. "Respond" is a prayer or petition inspired by the text, while "Rest" offers a theme for meditation.

Great for youth and young adult ministries, prayer and more
Combine that devotional content with Sarah's heartfelt performance of these songs and you get a powerful resource for personal prayer and more. Offering several songs for use in the liturgy, SaintSong is great for youth and young adult ministries, retreats, sacramental preparation, and prayer services.

Ancient texts that still apply to modern times
The lyrics for "Restless" include St. Augustine's famous line "We are restless till we rest in you [God]." As Sarah explains in her reflection, that's a universal experience. All people of all times hunger for God--even if they don't know it consciously. The same can be said of the other song texts here: written centuries ago, they still apply to us in our time.

A project six years in the making, SaintSong puts ear-pleasing, contemporary clothes on some of the Church's most beloved texts from the past two millennia.

Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. —Oscar Wilde

Sometimes in order to move forward, you have to look back and remember where you've been. It was in that spirit that Matt Maher's latest Grammy-nominated album, Saints and Sinners, came to being.

Music inspired by the lives of leaders
Drawing from writings and quotes from people who have experienced the tension between certainty and mystery and believers who wrestled with matters of faith, the five-time Grammy nominee has brought us another remarkable collection. Featuring Matt's exquisite songwriting and musical talents, this album is a beautiful testimony of those who have challenged the status quo and left marked legacies:

• The driving first track, "A Future Not My Own," is based on a prayer inspired by Blessed Oscar Romero. Its compelling lyrics will penetrate your soul.
• An ode to Martin Luther King, Jr., "Sons and Daughters," is a timely piece that speaks of racial reconciliation, of coming together to help one another.
• "Everything Is Grace," a powerful song based on a quote by Saint Therese of Lisieux, reminds us that everything—the good, the bad, the beautiful, the difficult—is a gift from God.
• The popular "Because He Lives (Amen)," based on the timeless Bill Gaither hymn, is a song of thanks and acknowledgement that we live because of Christ's death and resurrection. It is, in a word, moving.

United in our humanity
Throughout the experience of writing these songs, Matt has found that while we all come from different backgrounds, amass a range of experiences and even harbor conflicting opinions, the one thing that binds us together is our humanity. We are all in the process of being transformed, saints and sinners.

Track listing
A Future Not My Own | Deliverer | Glory Bound | Land of My Father | Everything Is Grace | Sons and Daughters | Firelight | Instrument | Abide with Me | Because He Lives (Amen) | Rest

Easy to learn and sing
His fourth collection with OCP, Santiago Fernandez's Salgamos a Llevar el Evangelio boasts eight songs to reinvigorate liturgical celebrations. Inspired to create music for the assembly, Santiago endeavored to compose songs that were easy to learn and sing, songs that allow the faithful to fully express their faith.

Ideal for Mass
Contemporary in style, these songs are ideal for Mass as well as other ritual moments, such as eucharistic adoration. With a delightful mix of musical styles, including bolero, huapango, rock and ballad, this album features something for every musical taste. Instrumentation combines typical Latin instruments with electric guitars, mariachi-style trumpet, piano and more.

Simple melodies, powerful lyrics, inspiring themes
Through simple melodies and powerful lyrics, themes of praise, hope, evangelization, trust and more are brought to life. The uptempo title track was inspired by Pope Francis' call for evangelization in Evangelii Gaudium. It was arranged in the cumbia style of South America and even features instruments of the pope's native Argentina: the charango (a small ten string lute) and zampoña (a type of pan flute). The moving lyrics of "Con Tu Gracia" (By your grace) invite us to recommit our lives to the Lord and trust him. "Den Gracias al Señor" (Give thanks to the Lord) picks up the tempo in the Venezuelan joropo style with hints of the huapango style from Mexico, a lively song with a truly authentic sound. You can see for yourself by listening to the sound sample in the songs tab above!

It was arranged in the cumbia style of South America and even features instruments of the pope's native Argentina: the charango (a small ten string lute) and zampoña (a type of pan flute). The moving lyrics of "Con Tu Gracia" (By your grace) invite us to recommit our lives to the Lord and trust him. "Den Gracias al Señor" (Give thanks to the Lord) picks up the tempo in the Venezuelan joropo style with hints of the huapango style from Mexico, a lively song with a truly authentic sound. You can see for yourself by listening to the sound sample in the songs tab above!

Tracks: Salgamos a Llevar el Evangelio | Todo Lo Sabes | Cristo Es el Señor | Den Gracias al Señor | Con Tu Gracia | Señor, Te Alabo | Señor, Quiero Servirte | Esperaba en el Señor

Vibrant, prayerful and lush, Set Free is more acoustic than Steve's previous collections, arranged with the simple instrumentation of church ensembles in mind. Seven of the 13 songs were composed for use in prayer and liturgy.

That doesn't mean the music holds back. The title track is a jamming pop-rock song celebrating the "God who truly sets us free from the chains that bind us." Both "Sweet Redeemer," co-written with Sarah Hart, and "Keep our Eyes on Jesus," a soulful gospel piece, will get hands clapping.

One highlight is "Daniel's Heart," which shows how the suffering and courage of three Daniels -- the young man from Steve's parish who died in the Columbine shooting, an infant named after him who had open heart surgery, and the biblical Daniel -- united and inspired the communities around them. Steve says this touching song is the best he's ever written.

A delightful musical expression of true Marian devotion, this collection from Jesse Manibusan offers songs that honor Mary as the Mother of God and also—and essentially—the First Disciple of Christ. Working closely with acclaimed Catholic composer and musician Tom Booth on the songwriting and producing, Jesse brings us 11 songs in a range of musical styles that vary from soft and reflective to a full-out band sound.

Offering inspired music for Marian feast days, May crownings and the like, this collection can also serve as a general resource for catechesis on Mary. The enchanting "Ave Maria" and "Ave Maria Litany" both honor the many experiences, titles and cultural connections of Mary, paying homage to other countries and how they refer to her.

In "Mary—Memories and Reflections" Jesse opens up about his experience of Marian devotion and how he came to develop such a special relationship with Mary. Spontaneously composed and recorded as they tracked the collection in the studio, "Shining like the Sun" is an inspired instrumental song from Carl Hergesell, who joins the list of other renowned collaborators, including Steve Angrisano, Sarah Hart and Eric Webster.

For those who already have a relationship with Mary or anyone who simply wants to know more about our Blessed Mother, Sing of Mary is a joy from one of today's most relatable contemporary composers.

The fourth of the "By Request" collections brings together some of the best pieces from the Spirit & Song hymnal with timeless and beloved melodies expressed in the idiom of the 21st century.

The hymns on this album are arranged and sung by a “who’s who” of favorite Spirit & Song artists: Matt Maher, Tom Booth, Josh Blakesley, Sarah Hart, Trevor Thomson, Rick Modlin and Ken Canedo.

The first three tracks—“O Salutaris,” “Adoration (Tantum Ergo)” and “Holy God, We Praise Thy Name”—are the iconic hymns of Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, sung in this order by the grandparents and great-grandparents of today’s young Catholics who have led the resurgence of devotion to eucharistic adoration.

The remaining songs are sequenced to follow the liturgical year, from Lent through Easter and onward to Ordinary Time. The album ends with “Hail, Holy Queen” as a tribute to the way the Church ends each day by praying a Marian hymn at the end of Compline.

Contemporary Traditions speaks to all generations and offers a wonderful opportunity to unite teens, youth ministers and families in a shared experience of faith-inspired music.

Highlights include "How Beautiful," a gorgeous ballad featuring Twila Paris on lead vocals and a lush, symphonic accompaniment by the Nashville String Machine: "How beautiful the hands that served the wine and the bread and the sons of the earth." Rich Mullins' classic Christian rock anthem, "Awesome God," is presented here in an edgy rendition by Tom Booth.

Get a taste of Tom Booth's music on his extended single, which includes two bonus tracks. The oversize octavo contains reprintable assembly editions for use at youth group meetings, retreats, contemporary Masses and more.

Known as "the father of contemporary liturgical music," Ray Repp has composed and recorded 11 collections of songs, some of which have been translated into as many as 28 languages. His popular Mass for Young Americans, released in 1965, was one of the first settings arranged for guitar accompaniment, and one of the first to apply folk-music styles. Described as "catchy not churchy," his music -- both early and more recent -- has always reflected his concern for peace and social justice issues.

This two-volume compilation includes the best and most popular music by this legendary composer, offering listeners the opportunity to experience the roots of contemporary liturgical music in the U.S. Ecumenical and universal in tone, these are songs that have been embraced and sung in both Protestant and Catholic communities for more than 30 years. Drawn from the original historic recordings, they are available on CD for the first time.

Reflecting the folk styles and consciousness of the era in which they were composed, Ray's songs make an infectious appeal for brotherly love and charity. Many songs, like the tender and meditative "Look Out Your Window" and "How Long, O Lord," feature Ray's fine tenor voice, with its warm vibrato, accompanied simply by acoustic guitar. Others, like the classic "Allelu!," feature larger ensembles and beautifully arranged solo and accompaniment parts for strings, flute, oboe, banjo, harmonica, percussion and vocals. These are the songs that, when first introduced, had assemblies and youth gatherings on their feet, standing, clapping and singing along.

In a world still broken and divided by injustice and war, the music of Ray Repp is timely and comforting, expressing the longing and hope Christians everywhere have for unity, peace and the establishment of God's kingdom on earth

Volume 1 includes songs from four previously released collections: Mass for Young Americans, Allelu!, Come Alive, and Sing Praise!

Volume 2 includes songs from five previous collections: Sunrise, in the Dead of Winter; Benedicamus: The Song of the Earth; Hear the Cryin'; Give Us Peace; and By Love Are We All Bound.
