The artists of Starling Arrow are brought together by a mutual love of beauty, the power of music as a sanctuary, and the deep joy of encountering the muse. Like most of our recordings the ensemble of Starling Arrow was unintentionally conceived during the pandemic’s lockdown.
Til you hear that Jordan River
I say glory to the Lord
To cradle you tonight
New English Hymnal No: 12 by Charles Coffin translated by John Chandler
On Jordan’s bank the Baptist’s cry
announces that the Lord is nigh.
Awake and harken, for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings!

Send the fire by William Booth – A song calling for renewal by the Holy Spirit using the symbol of fire, a burning of the old ways to give way to the new.
Thou Christ of burning, cleansing flame,
Send the fire!
Thy blood-bought gift today we claim,
Send the fire!
In an interview Graham Kendrick said: “This song is a prayer for revival. A songwriter can give people words to voice something which is already in their hearts but which they don’t have the words or the tune to express, and I think ‘Shine Jesus shine’ caught a moment when people were beginning to believe once again that an impact could be made on a whole nation.”
