An African Worship Song—Joseph M. Martin
& John R. Paradowski. Based on the Ghanaian
folk song Nanuma, this anthem highlights
important elements of worship: praising God in
song, praying, and going forth to share God's
love. Written for children, youth, and adults, the
piece can be sung by one choir or multiple choirs
for a multigenerational presentation. Handclaps,
percussion instruments, and a rhythmic piano
accompaniment join with other options to create

All God's Children—Baker Lawrimore. When
it comes to inclusion and diversity, youth often
have the courage to say what adults cannot or
will not. This anthem gives children the chance
to offer a message of unconditional welcome
and love. It highlights the beauty and power
of unison voices yet provides a quality option
for emerging part singers in verse 2's echo. A
dynamic piano accompaniment creates both
urgency and warmth.

harmony before partnering together for a
strong, bright finish.

Elaine Schram. This tender anthem tells

combine to provide a lovely partner song,
reinforcing independent singing in each part.
A gentle unison ending sweetly expresses,
"Jesus carried me home to the fold."

seamlessly into Amazing Grace and infuses
the beloved hymn with jubilant energy. Becki's
optional harmony is a wonderful stepping
stone for emerging part singers. Optional
