HISTORY & TESTIMONIES

"I was having my prayer time and I asked God to help and guide me in the
selection of songs for a children’s Christmas program at my church.  
I had already picked out several songs but did not really feel that
they were exactly what I needed.  

After my prayer time, I went inside, turned on my computer and searched for “Christmas Rounds”.  I found
a link to your site and the first song I heard was “You Gave Us Hope”.  That song touched me so much, that
I wept for 20 minutes before I could finally sing it all the way through.  I knew God had
revealed the song I was to use.  I am so excited about teaching it to the kids! 

We performed "You Gave Us Hope" at my church as part of the children's Christmas program I
directed.  It was the grand finale.  My husband played guitar, one of our
youth played flute and a friend played a djembe.  It was a huge success! 
(Debbie, from Alabama)

A young teen group from Arkansas, called "The Hallelujah Singers",

I was in need of a song for our Advent Wreath Blessing.
God bless you for permitting me and others to download 
“You Gave Us Hope”.  (Mary, from Texas)

I just wanted to drop you a quick note of encouragement to let you know I will be using
your song "You Gave Us Hope" this weekend at my church. 
We are starting our advent series and this song is
just perfect for the service.  Thank you for sharing it with the world.   
(David, from North Carolina)

I just wanted to let you know that I just LOVE your site & your music!!!  It's definitely TOPS in
my book of Christian songs.  I will be using the song "You Gave Us Hope." at our Christmas Eve
service at church & will play guitar & sing it.  (Linda, from New York)

" I am the eighth grade teacher at Holy Spirit School....  
I have the dubious honor of organizing the Christmas program for
our school.  I was at my end trying to find a song appropriate for my
class to sing when I happened upon your web site and the beautiful song, "You Gave Us Hope." 
Thank you and God Bless you.  We will sing it on December 14
at our program in praise of Jesus and in
thanksgiving for you and your great gift.   (Anne, from California)

"I am a retired pastor of a Pentecostal church in Northern Ireland. 
I came across your web site when looking for a Christmas song for 
our Carol service.  My wife and I have been asked by the pastor 
for to sing a duet and when I heard this carol I thought what a 
lovely carol and the four words. Hope, Joy, Peace,  and Love said it all for 
that is what we have been praying for in Northern Ireland for over 40 years. 

So we expect that your carol will bring some measure of comfort to our 
congregation tonight (12/24).  There is no real hope, joy, peace or love in this 
world without Jesus in our hearts.  God bless you..."  (Billy, from Ireland)
 

I am ... a Music Teacher in St. Francis
Anglo Indian Girls High School in Coimbatore.

I decided to teach "He Shall Be Called" and "You Gave Us Hope" 
to our school children for Christmas Carol 2007.

As we began our practices, our children were moved by
the Spirit of the Lord and they told me that they felt
peace, joy and happiness.

It is truly uplifting music and an inspiration from
the Holy Ghost to you. God wants you to be an
instrument in His hands to do this marvelous work to
build His kingdom here on this earth.
(Charles, from India)
