Submit Content

The engine that keeps this hymnal stocked with meaningful content is a treasure hunting team that is continually scanning the spiritual underground for ‘undiscovered gems’, then curating these into products. As such, we do not have a neatly packaged submission process - just the opportunity for people in our orbit to message us with links to content that they think might be relevant.

Our current rhythm is to record a new music project each fall for release as a series of singles the subsequent year.

We recently had a pop up team hosting a Praise And Protest event in Seattle. What hit us all was the weightiness of the worship at the end of the evening, and the debrief resulted in a provisional title for our 2024 release: “Gravitas.’ This does not indicate a move away from justice, but rather the kind of engagement we have with God when justice is in focus.

The contemporary worship movement began in the seventies with an emphasis on intimacy, and an over-referencing of the Song of Solomon. Along the way, the genre morphed into an emphasis on intensity, and an over-referencing of David dancing recklessly before the ark of the covenant. Yet neither metaphor fully captures of the gravitas of the majority of the God encounters recorded in scripture. Therefore, we are on the lookout for songs, stories and ideas that capture the respectfulness of the ‘serious pursuit of Christ.’

We are a nimble operation and this direction could change, but we felt it important to put out the word.

If you have something you would like to share with us for possible inclusion into this hymnal, please choose ‘Email Us’ in the drop down menu under Connect above. If our team feels that your submission is relevant for our project, you will hear from us before we do anything. Because of copyright realities, we have a lot of required reading for songwriters before considering one of their songs for our library. Typically, the process of incorporating music and songs is a painstakingly slow and pedantic affair: (1) because of the complexities of music business, (2) because we are fundamentally set up as a music publisher, and (3) because musical taste is a highly subjective and delicate matter.
