										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Centre for Music, Liturgy and the Arts is pleased to introduce the Walk as One songbook as individual songs. While many churches and leaders purchase music books, many wonderful songs in the books lie undiscovered.

<p>The “Walk as One” songbook was published in 2022. The Individual Song packs provide a way for all churches, including songbook owners, to listen, learn and sing this excellent collection of songs.</p>
<p>For each song, you receive these digital resources</p>
<ul>
<li>A copy of the sheet music score from the “Walk as One” songbook (PDF)</li>
<li>An audio recording of the song (high quality m3)</li>
<li>A plain Powerpoint file (white text on black)</li>
<li>A colour Powerpoint file (white text on coloured image)</li>
<li>A lyric video (audio recording with song lyrics)</li>
<li>A plain text version of the song lyrics (for inserting into presentation software or printed orders)</li>
</ul>
