My Money Talks: CD & Songbook
MFC
believes that faithful, joyful giving in all of life is an act of
worship. So the Foundation asked musician Bryan Moyer Suderman to
compose and record new songs on themes related to financial stewardship
for congregational worship. My Money Talks: Songs for Worship is the
result — a 12-song CD released in 2007
and a companion songbook
released in April 2008.
For many people, talking — let alone singing — about money in the context of worship does not fit. Yet Jesus’ parables, and much of the Bible, are filled with stories about the challenges and threats that material things can pose to our relationship with God. These issues and questions are dramatically underrepresented in the life of the church and in the songs we sing in worship.
Bryan writes and sings from the heart, addressing in a poetic, memorable, and catchy fashion the challenges that Christians face in dealing with money. The musical styles on the CD range from folk guitar to accapella, from harmonies to contemplative piano accompaniment to country gospel, with forays into contemporary worship and rock. A number of the songs lend themselves easily to group singing and have the potential to become regular parts of Sunday morning worship.
The companion songbook is a spiral-bound, 72-page book, featuring full piano accompaniments, vocal arrangements, and lyrics and chord charts for all of the songs on the “My Money Talks: songs for worship” CD. Includes reproducible pages for congregational singing.
US author and speaker Mark Vincent describes My Money Talks as “a wonderful resource. I can’t wait to get this collection into the hands of my congregation’s worship leaders.”
