Fifty Three Verse Six
Posted by Maynard on Wednesday, February 3 2010
... it's a verse we need to hear!
... and it's a NEW SONG on the website today!
This song has been 'brewing' for six months now - I wrote it on holiday in France, inspired by Isaiah 53:6, and a pop song about a boy who doesn't do any washing up...(!!!)
It's very up-beat, which might surprise you for Isaiah 53:6, but I figure that (a) it's GREAT NEWS, and (b) we want to REMEMBER this bible verse, so... let's dance!
Anyway - it's a good song for Easter, or any other time of year. The kids will love it, and I don't think you'll get it out of your head for a while...
You can listen on the jukebox, click here.
You can buy the complete track (and not have that annoying "You're listening to MGBT..." bit in it!), or backing track etc. Sheet music is free - click the button on the jukebox! - or go straight to the store.
Enjoy!

Getting ready for Easter...
Posted by Maynard on Tuesday, February 2 2010
If you are, then let February's free song get you into the swing of it!
 "Will you sing?" asks if we're going to live our lives in response to all that Jesus has done for us by dying and rising again. It's easy to learn, fun to sing (and to play - for the musos!), and you can download the full track for free for all of February 2010.
Click here to get the free MP3 from the store.
Click here to hear 'Will You Sing?' on the Jukebox.
Remember - you can always download sheet music for free - just click the "sheet music" link on the jukebox.
This song is on the "Sing to the King" CD (and two of the compilation CDs) - click here for more info

November's Special - a Free Christmas Children's Carol

"One Boy..." - get ready for Christmas with October's Free MP3 download
Posted by Maynard on Friday, October 2 2009
 "One Boy" is a little different for us - a quieter song! But still great to sing with a clear message about Jesus for Christmas.
There's also a bit of 5/4 to add some spice...
It's just been re-recorded, and is now available as an MP3 file at CD-quality 320kbps.
It's our free download for October 2009, so grab it while you can!

320 kbps!
Posted by Maynard on Friday, October 2 2009
What on earth does that mean?
It's the quality of the MP3 files you can download from the Store. As of today, they're all available at 320kbps, up from 128kbps. That means that they're more like CD quality when you listen to them.
The songs on the jukebox are still 128kbps - making them quicker to listen to there - but every download you get will be at 320kbps.
Enjoy!

Double Semi-Finalist in the 2009 UK Songwriting Contest!
Posted by Maynard on Thursday, September 10 2009
Great News from the 2009 UK Songwriting Competition: I entered "Good Friday" in the "Faith" Category, and "King Seekers" in the "Open" Category (I wasn't sure which category to enter, since these are kids songs...) and got to the Semi-Finals in both categories!
  Both songs scored 7: "A score of 6 or 7 indicates that the song made the semi finals panels and is one of the stronger songs in the contest. All these semi finalist songs are considered by the selection panels for the finals and a score of 7 indicates that the song was a borderline finalist and almost made it through to the finals."
I'm very grateful to God for this song-writing thing - I love writing the songs, and kids enjoy singing them - and because they're all about Jesus and living for him: that's great!
Go to the Jukebox NOW to listen to the songs!!!

Put on the Armour of God - September's Free Download!
Posted by Maynard on Friday, September 4 2009
Every month we give away an MP3 download, and this month its the backing track for the song "Put it on!".
Based on Ephesians 6, this is all about the Armour (or Armor) of God: How he provides spiritual protection so we can be bold and make Jesus known.
It's a lively children's song, with great opportunities for actions / motions. It's also a great theme song if you're doing a series in a children's club on Ephesians 6.

Posted by Maynard on Saturday, August 22 2009
Very sorry if you've been trying to get onto the website in the last few days - some kind of update at the hosting company clashed with some out-of-date code I had written, and I was away on vacation....
Sorry - but anyway, we're back in action now...

June's Free MP3 Download - "God's Word is the Bible"
Posted by Maynard on Tuesday, June 2 2009
Another favourite - a children's bible song that's easy and fun to sing, and with a very important message.
 It's based on Hebrews 4:12 "... the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
The download is the full track - with (shock!) Maynard singing as well.
Hope you enjoy it!

May's Free Download - Immeasura-bubbly!
Posted by Maynard on Sunday, May 3 2009
"Immeasura-bubbly" is great fun - solid truths about God, a fun tune. and great actions / motions!
The song is based on Ephesians 3:20-21, with v14-19 snuck in there too. "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
It's probably my favourite of the bunch, and I've just re-recorded it, and you can download the MP3 backing track for free this month (May 2009).
Here are some links: Listen - Download - Sheet Music
Hope you like it!

Galilee - it's the place to be!
Posted by Maynard on Saturday, April 25 2009
Our latest new song takes you to the shores of the Sea of Galilee, to see what Jesus has been up to - and it's amazing!
Jesus shows his authority as he calls, teaches, heals and walks on water...
Fun to sing - and a great theme song for a holiday club. I know - we did it!
