What's going on with Maynard's Groovy Bible Tunes, from day to day...
I'm busily recording a new Christmas song today - "Go Go Go Go Gold!" is about the Wise Men / Magi / Kings and their gifts for Jesus.
Hopefully it'll be out soon...
We sang "My Little Seed" at the KS1 assembly (years 1-2, ages 5-7) this morning.
It's based on the teaching in Colossians 1:15-16, that Jesus is closely involved in keeping the world going, by his creating power. I wrote it specially for the younger age range, and it's got some nice actions / motions to go with it.
The kids loved it this morning, so I'm going to try to get it recorded & published in the next few days... watch this space!

--------------------------
I'm working on a new song - well, a song that's 6 months old and I haven't got round to publishing yet. "Let's Investigate" was our theme song last summer at our HotShots Holiday Club. It's a "come and look at Jesus in the Bible" kind of song.
Here are the words:
One, Two: Me and You,
Three, Four: Let's explore!
Five, Six, Seven, Eight:
Come on,let's investigate!
1. Let’s look at things
That Jesus did
And hear the words
That Jesus said
He walked on water
Fed five thousand
Healed the sick and
Raised the dead!
2. Let’s check out
What the Bible tells us
Be detectives,
Boys and girls!
We’ll find out
Jesus really is the
Saviour of the
Whole Wide World!

I might be able to get the song & sheet music out this weekend - see how it goes!
It's uploading to the website and store as I speak, a new (& much improved) recording of "Jesus you didn't make my Sandwiches".
I've always loved this song, but the original recording was pretty grim - I was out of tune by the fourth note, and it didn't get much better. So I've re-done it. Still not perfect, but it is definitely an improvement!
What do you think? Have a listen: "Jesus you didn't..." on the Jukebox
Or buy it: "Jesus you didn't..." in the store
I'm working on a new song: "STOP - it's a way to pray!" - and it'll be out soon, but in the meantime, you can hear a snippet of a rough draft by clicking here: STOP - rough snippet
That's at a kind-of 85% stage of my mixing/producing process - more work to do, as well as doing the backing track and sheet music etc.
Shouldn't be long tho...
Hope you like it! Why not comment to feedback?
