Description
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. This initiative provides an affordable way for churches to learn and play new music, with or without musicians.
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.
For each song, you receive these digital resources
- A copy of the sheet music score from the “Walk as One” songbook (PDF)
- An audio recording of the song (high quality mp3)
- A plain Powerpoint file (white text on black)
- A colour Powerpoint file (white text on coloured image)
- A lyric video (audio recording with song lyrics)
- A plain text version of the song lyrics (for inserting into presentation software or printed orders)
BENEATH THE SOUTHERN CROSS
From the ends of the earth we will sing;
God is here, the Kingdom is near.
Shore to shore across ancient lands.
Christ to dwell, Emmanuel.
From north and south, from east and west,
beneath the Southern Cross we rest.
Found by One who came for all,
in this tale of spacious love we’re born.
From the ends of the earth we will sing;
God is here, the Kingdom is near.
Shore to shore across ancient lands.
Christ to dwell, Emmanuel.
This, the land on which we stand,
this holy ground made by God’s hand,
marred and scarred yet marked by grace,
held and healed, in Christ we find our place.
From the ends of the earth we will sing;
God is here, the Kingdom is near.
Shore to shore across ancient lands.
Christ to dwell, Emmanuel.
God, our hope, our life, our heart,
come break our differences apart.
Strangers once now called as one,
every soul awake to greet this love!
From the ends of the earth we will sing;
God is here, the Kingdom is near.
Shore to shore across ancient lands.
Christ to dwell, Emmanuel.
