HEAVEN SHALL NOT WAIT (BK)

John L. Bell & Graham Maule

Songs of Creation, the Incarnation and the Life of Jesus

Wild Goose Songs Vol.1

WGRG’s first major collection of 50 songs & 12 chants or liturgical pieces focusing on the themes of Creation, and the Birth & Life of Jesus. A range of styles from folk hymns to contemporary carols.

Realising that not every old hymn is a great hymn, and that many are irrelevant and out-of-date, Bell & Maule began writing new songs, trying to address contemporary issues (eg. the arms race, unemployment, pollution) in accessible language and drawing to a great extent on their cultural situation and background. This is the first fruit of their labours.

Never mind that the book contains such favourites as Will you come and follow me?, The Word of life (aka. In a byre near Bethlehem), Inspired by love and anger, God’s surprise or the title song, Heaven shall not wait, many have said that the indispensable two pages enumerating Ten Golden Rules for enabling the least confident of people to teach new songs to the most cynical of congregations’ on its own is worth the price of the book!

There is a CD recorded by the Wild Goose Worship Group featuring a selection from the book.
