Album Notes

I hope that you hear the inclusiveness in "The Colors of Love." Not only in the variety of voices and instruments, but in the variety of love and life. Moms singing to their kids on their wedding day (A Wedding Lullaby.) A pastor singing to her confirmands and friends (I Know the Plans I have for you, from Jeremiah 29:11.) A church singing a welcome song to an infant being baptized (A Church's Baptism Song.) A gay couple singing a love song for their Holy Union (On My Honor.) There is even a song about the Worcester FIRE where 6 men died saving others (Warehouse of Mercy.) It is fitting that, after such a weaving of variety, the CD will end with the children's voices of Hadwen Park Congregational Church, UCC, Worcester, Mass, singing (THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE!) I hope you laugh with me at being "Still Single at Christmas!" I hope that you get just a bit teary eyed when I sing to my daughter and her hubby on their wedding day or to my confirmation class. I pray that you find challenge and tenderness and melancholy in the call of the Gospel of Jesus Christ -- to welcome all -- and to COME TO THE PARTY!--- to dance with AMAZING GRACE!

Enjoy,
Judy Hanlon, singer, songwriter, pianist and pastor
