			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/shaungroves/kingdomcoming.zip" title="Download Kingdom Coming by Shaun Groves"></a>After seven years of selling music on those little silver discs, I&#8217;m <a target="_blank" title="Download totally free music" href="http://www.shaungroves.com/freemusic/">giving it away</a>. My new song, &#8220;Kingdom Coming,&#8221; is totally free. But it might cost you something else. </p>
<p>Let me explain.</p>
<p>When you <a target="_blank" title="Download Kingdom Coming" href="http://www.shaungroves.com/freemusic/">download the song</a> you will not be asked for any money, or a friend&#8217;s e-mail address, or to fill out a survey. </p>
<p>&#8220;Kingdom Coming&#8221; is totally free. Truly! No strings attached. </p>
<p>But the song, I hope, will move many who hear it to give to those in tremendous need around the world, and right next door.</p>
<p>&#8220;Kingdom Coming&#8221; was inspired by my many years of partnering with Compassion to release children from poverty in <a target="_blank" title="Where Compassion works" href="http://www.compassion.com/about/where/default.htm">25 of the world&#8217;s poorest countries</a>.</p>
<p>Four years ago, after seeing for myself how far a little goes in the developing world, my wife and I were inspired to sell our house, cut off the cable and make several other changes in an effort to simplify our lives so that others could simply live. </p>
<p>Because of those changes our expenses are so low that we&#8217;ve been able to do nothing for the last four years but sing and speak (100 times a year) and <a target="_blank" title="Read Shaun's blog" href="http://www.shaungroves.com/shlog/">blog</a> on behalf of Compassion, at no charge to the public. </p>
<p>In that time <a target="_blank" title="Sponsor a child" href="http://www.compassion.com/sponsor_a_child/default.htm">thousands of children have been sponsored</a> through Compassion and have been educated, fed, healed, played with, and told about the love of Jesus as a result. <a target="_blank" title="Download Kingdom Coming" href="http://www.shaungroves.com/freemusic/">This free download</a>, and the ones to follow, are just the next logical progression for us.</p>
<p>When you visit <a target="_blank" title="Download Kingdom Coming" href="http://www.shaungroves.com/freemusic/">http://www.shaungroves.com/freemusic</a>, you&#8217;ll see a small link to compassion.com. My hope is that thousands of you will download &#8220;Kingdom Coming&#8221; for free, enjoy it, and then click that link and decide to meet the physical and spiritual needs of a child through a local church in the developing world by sponsoring them. </p>
<p>Helping me spread &#8220;Kingdom Coming&#8221; and the <a target="_blank" title=" Share the free music" href="http://www.shaungroves.com/freemusic/">free music download page</a> is helping bring the Kingdom (God&#8217;s will done on earth as it is in heaven) to the developing world.</p>
<p>Please, <a target="_blank" title="Share the free music" href="http://www.shaungroves.com/freemusic/">e-mail this song or link to a friend</a>, use it at your church, play it on the radio, make a YouTube video, let your Facebook friends know about it. I own this song and all rights to it, and you hereby officially have my permission to use it in anyway you&#8217;d like as long as no one&#8217;s being charged to hear it.</p>
<p>Thank you for listening, giving and passing this music and message on.</p>
<p>Please <a href="mailto:shaunfanmail@bellsouth.net">let me know</a> if I can ever serve you in any way.</p>
