Waiting Songs is an album of Advent. These songs are about making time for waiting.  The King is coming and He is already here.  So we practice listening, quieting ourselves, celebrating, whispering good news, and yelling shouts of joy.  In the Rain for Roots family, we practice most of all by singing to ourselves, to each other, and to our children about true things.   He is coming -- the Joy of Every Longing Heart.  Our longing hearts.  Grown ups and children; we are the same in this.  Through these songs, may God call us closer into conversation with Himself while we wait and hope with expectation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: November 10, 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Rain for Roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 859715281569\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rain for Roots","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772828737,"sku":"Rain for Roots (3)","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Rain_for_Roots_Waiting_Songs_CD.jpg?v=1748450432"},{"product_id":"rain-for-roots-all-creatures-cd","title":"All Creatures CD","description":"All Creatures is the 2020 release from Rain for Roots, featuring Sandra McCracken, Flo Paris, Katy Bowser Hutson, and more.

The album opens with an adaptation of Cecil Frances Alexander's hymn All Things Bright and Beautiful with Sandra McCracken in her full Americana glory and goes straight into Hallelujah featuring the clear, pure vocals of Flo Oakes. \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach collection is full of delightful, singable melodies with kid-friendly lyrics that impart profound biblical truths.
