Hello, friends!
Here’s the fourth in my series of five new songs/carols/hymns for Advent and Christmas. This one is about the way God leads us, starting (but not ending) with the Star of Bethlehem. The sheet music with hymn parts is here:
Beacon of Bethlehem (legal size, for folding)
Beacon of Bethlehem (letter size)
There’s also a video of it here.

Here’s the second in my series of five new songs/carols/hymns for Advent and Christmas. This one is a different take on the old story of the Animals’ Christmas. What if the animals at the stable were just waiting for human beings to finally get a clue? The sheet music with hymn parts is here:
Star-Struck by the Stable Gate (legal size, for folding)
Star-Struck by the Stable Gate (letter size)
There’s also a video of it here.
Hello, friends!
I’m working on five new songs (hymns? carols?) for Advent and Christmas. Here’s the first: Be Born in Us Tonight. There’s a verse for each Sunday in Advent, and one for Christmas Eve. The “full” sheet music has a keyboard accompaniment; the “voice” sheet music has just hymn parts, and it’s laid out for a US legal-size sheet, to print and fold.
There’s also a video of it here.
Hello, friends!
Here’s a little song in response to the recent election here in the United States. (We all have our own ways of coping!) The lyric is in sonnet form—plus a few parenthetical phrases. It’s just a trumpery little sonnet, really, and I offer it with apologies to William “Shifty” Shakespeare.
Generosity is always part of a well-lived life. Exploitation is not.
Tuesday is an Election Day that has been looming over us for years. After Tuesday—well, it won’t be over.
Some lessons in calling out, from the story of Bartimaeus.
A tiny space rock can rock the heavens. The poorest child in the poorest country can rock our world. That’s how God’s creation always works: with interdependence.
To cherish the harmony of God’s creation, we must avoid causing extinctions. One thing that would help: not grabbing quite so much of the earth for ourselves.
Here’s a quick (35 s) video I put together to advertise my concert, “An Evening Wasted with Adam Brooks Webber”:
I hope some of you can make it in person. If not, don’t despair: you can use this link to the livestream on YouTube on Friday night, 7:00 p.m. Central. The video there should continue to be available after the concert is over.
