Hear The
Voice The new album was released on 25th July - the first day of Holiday Club 2005
Hear The
Voice
After the slightly more grown-up sounds of "Car Park Music" and "Future Worship", the intention with this album was to return to the ideas of "Hold The Light", with simple songs for children & the whole family. Having said that, not much of this stuff sounds childish. There are once again plenty of sound affects between songs and the whole album can easily be listened to in a single sitting - clocking in at under 35 minutes. When the re-issue arrives, no doubt this will be available as a "Hold The Light / Hear The Voice" package.
This is the full track listing - I'm rather pleased! - follow the links to the lyrics and downloads
"This music is not like Jesus' Love Is Very Wonderful" - Eden Stearn
(I've Got My Feet On) Solid Rock - early mix. we've sung this a few times and I'm generally happy with it
Our God Is Good - the only genuinely new song in te set!
Pirates Of JC- The "Pirates Of Polzeath" song re-hashed for this year's event. early sample
Heaven Is Better Than A Bouncy Castle - basic backing complete. we sing this one fairly regularly - the kids love it - some of the adults don't, but can't fault it on theological grounds!
God Loves You - very basic backing done - this song is actually a little bit like "Jesus'Love Is Very Wonderful" - sorry Eden
Bread Bread Fish Fish - a three-part harmony
Who Made The Monkeys - left over from "Jungle Jamboree" holiday club, but never previously used. It's turned out better than I had remembered it.
The Grand Old Judge Of God - guess the tune!
Psalm - written in the car park; one of those slow anthemy songs to finish the album
Follow Quickly - an Olden Goldie - kind of works at double the speed!
there is a bonus track hidden later on the CD - the thing is, my 15 year old son wanted some rock music - what? on a kid's album? So, I set to work and this is what happened...- R(each) O(ut) C(hrist is) K(ing) - although the mp3 has different words! Check it out!

01) Solid Rock
I’ve got my feet on solid rock
My legs are weak, He holds me up
His name is always on my lips
So I will praise the Lord
He is the head of all there is
He has my heart, so I am His
He helps me out in times of need
So I can walk with Him

02) Our God is Good
Creator of the universe, sustainer of all things
Reflecting your eternal love all creation sings
Oh-oh-oh-oh Our God is Good
You chose a man – a family - Worked through their offspring
You led your people Israel with prophets, priests and kings
You sent our saviour Jesus Christ to rid death of its sting
Overcoming everything as prophet, priest and king
You bring all things together on the day of reckoning
Together in eternity, all creation sings

03) Pirates of JC
Hear the voice of Jesus call: "All for one and one for
all". He calms the storms of our lives
Searching hard for hidden treasure that will last for ever. We
will fight for what is right
We’re the pirates of JC. Finding treasure‘s where we be
On the land and on the sea – oh arrrr
We’re pirates, we’re pirates, we’re pirates, har
har harrr of JC
Once I was a scallywag, but Jesus had it in the bag. Cross ahoy!
He took my sins away
I’ve scuttled the old man, now I’m living – Shiver
me timbers! I’m forgiven. I won’t be dancin’ the
Hempen Jig no way
So sing me hearties, sing me mate. All hands on deck an’
don’t be late
Faith’s worth more than pieces of eight – oh arrrr
We’re pirates, we’re pirates, we’re pirates, har
har harrr of JC
We’re the pirates of JC. Jesus calls us to be free
We’re plunderin’ souls lost at sea
We’re pirates, we’re pirates, we’re pirates, har
har harrr of JC

Pirationary
Scallywag – someone who needs Jesus
Cross ahoy – I saw what happened on the cross (of Jesus)
Scuttled the old man – changed from who I was
Shiver me timbers – hallelujah
Dancin’ the hempen jig – thrown into hell
All hands on deck – pay attention
Pieces of eight – money, possessions, things
Plunderin’ souls lost at sea – rescuing those who are
not yet christians

Heaven is better than a bouncy castle

08) The Grand
Old Judge Of God
Oh, the grand old Judge of God
Had 32000 men
But 22000 were afraid
So they marched home again
And when you’re with God, you’re with God
And when you’re without, you’re without
If you want to defeat God’s enemies
Shout God’s name about
Oh the grand old Judge of God
He had 10000 men
But just 300 passed the test
So he went on with them
Oh the grand old Judge of God
He had 300 men
The Lord defeated the Midianites
With the faith of those few men

09) Psalm
His voice thunders in the sky
He is clothed with honour and majesty
He looks down upon the earth to the lost and the hurt
He will come to set his people free
His love reaches to the skies
His faithfulness reaches to the seas
His righteousness is like the misty mountains high
He will come to set his people free
We will find abundance in your house
We will find a refuge in your wing
You will let your people taste from your river of delight
You will come to set your people free
We will drink and delight from your fountain of life
You will come to set your people free
