  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Click "Buy Now" to order the physical CD and get a free, immediate download of the entire album! This "First Edition" CD version of Spiritual Songs by The Wayside will be packaged in a beautiful, full color Digipak case with more great photos by Allen Clark and more info on the songs.

    Additionally, a very limited "Special Edition Boxed Set" will be created for our most passionate fans, friends and supporters. The music is exactly the same as the standard edition, but ordering the Special Edition of the album will get you a hand-made boxed set that will include the full CD, a limited run 7" vinyl single of "Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior" with an un-released B-side work-tape of a song Michelle wrote since moving to Nashville (that may appear in a more fully produced form on a future recording.) You will never see this version of the song anywhere else. Also included in the box will be a stack of 12 photo cards (photos by Allen Clark) with essays about the songs, our history with them, and why we chose to record them on the back and a nifty, numbered, box.

    (Please click on the "Special Edition" link to the right to order.)

    We estimate the delivery date of the First Edition CDs to be around February 1, 2010. By pre-ordering now you are helping us get this ball rolling again, and helping us know how many CDs to print. Thanks!

    Also includes immediate download of the 11 track album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire. Choose the WAV, AIFF or FLAC versions for highest (CD) quality, but allow extra time for the download. If you only plan to listen on an MP3 player then the high quality MP3 version will be fine.

    You get the music now, and the full CD later. Thanks so much for supporting us!

lyrics

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

Chorus: Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

Chorus

And then one day, I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

Chorus
