They’ll Know We Are Christians By Our Love
$40.00Back in the 1970’s this was the “most popular” Christian song with young people, as it expressed the true meaning of the Christian lifestyle. Written in a “rhapsodic” style with free treated variations, including 5/4 and 6/8 times, along with very unusual rhythmic counterpoint, this creative work will be a highlight with audiences and performers!

Heavenly Visions
