Description
Compilation CD spanning 10 years and five CD/albums with six new recordings/tracks.
Notes
A United Methodist Church had invited me to sing as part of their 10th anniversary celebration
of the congregation declaring itself "Reconciling". In the UMC denomination, "reconciling"
means that the congregation publicly declares that it is "open and affirming" to members of the
GLBT community, as well as other individuals and groups. In choosing songs for the concert,
I selected an older one that I had not sung in years called "Out in this World". It was the title
track to the first CD I had released as an "out" artist, and I thought it would be a good match
given the purpose for the event. As I sang the song for them that evening, it occured to me
that it had been 10 years since I had written and recorded that song. In a way, it was an
anniversary for me as well.
So, part of the purpose of this compilation CD is to celebrate. It's been 10 years since I "came
out" as an artist, followed a few years later by the release of my first CD as a Christian artist.
I've often lifted up prayers of gratitude that it wasn't the other way around!
Another reason for putting this collection of songs together is to continue the encouragement of
people of faith to "come out" as well. Sometimes we're told that there isn't a place for believers
in society, and so we become "closeted Christians". I added new lyrics to "Out in this World '09"
to include both being out as a GLBT individual, and also as a faithful follower. Also included
from that same 10 year old project is a song called "I Found a Place". My prayer is that we can
all make that statement together. Both songs have been completely re-recorded and sung from
scratch. I hope you enjoy the new arrangements.
Lastly, in addition to several selections of songs from five previously released CD/albums, you'll
find four other brand new recordings. One is a new song inspired by Psalm 121 called, "The
Other Side". Another is a duet version of the Nicole C. Mullen hit, "Call on Jesus", sung with my
friend, Susie Brenner (brennerbeckstead.com). Last but not least are the remixes! Whoo-hoo!
Enjoy! -- and know that you are loved...
because "God is love. Whoever lives in love, lives in God..." (1John 4:16).
