Christ is Risen - Alleluia! God of Mercy and Compassion has has given way The Easter Song, which is remarkably popular despite not having been published anywhere for years!After all the busy-ness of Easter, most church musicians will have taken a break this week. But they won't be resting for too long: Divine Mercy Sunday is close, and so are St George's Day, ANZAC Day - and of course Marian hymns for the month of May, for those in the northern hemisphere.
The list below has all requests received between January and March, and a few from April too. If your recent request isn't here, keep checking regularly because I'm now making good progress with the requests.

You have Called us out of Darkness
This request is for a song including the phrase "You have called us out of darkness" by Graham Kendrick. A search of the songs on his website doesn't show any songs with that exact wording. So maybe the phrase is different - or maybe the song is by someone else? One likely option is this song by Lynn DeShazo and Martin Nystrom, which has been recorded by Kendrick.
