Kingsway 27th November

Don't ask.

Title: The Light of the World
First Line: The Light of the world
Artist: fairly certain it's Kristyn Getty...
Composer: Stuart Townend and J.K Jamieson
Album: Creation Sings
Mp3: Yes
Sheet Music: Yes
Popular sources: None

My thoughts: What can I say?  It's nearly Advent, so it must be time to dust off a Townend or two (cue heavenly choir - ahhhhhhh!) and this is typical fare, sounding all, um...'Celticky' - if I'm allowed to turn it into a verb.  Yes, it's good, and yes I like it, but I'm not going to rush to transcribe it or type out a chord sheet.  I was surprised that I couldn't find this on my CCL CD though, given it's (apparently) 3 years old already.  Perhaps it's a demand thing.

Also starting this week, Kingsway are releasing 5 Christmas choruses/hymns and I'll get round to listening to them at some point.  Townend and Getty's Joy Has Dawned and Brenton's Joyful Joyful I am familiar with (and are very good I hasten to add), not sure about the other 3 as I can't remember if I've heard them before or not.

This song is available on Kingsway from today until 3rd December inc.  To access, you must logon; or register with Kingsway, who in return will add you to their mailing list, but they are not serial spammers.
