HOUSE OF LENNON

THE MUSIC OF CHRISTINE & JARED LENNON

Like A Dove

Christine originally composed “Like A Dove” to honor the vital work of Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota, whose dove and helping‑hand logo inspired this song of comfort, hope, and community. Rooted in Micah 6:8, its recurring call to “act justly, love mercy, walk humbly” invites us to live out our faith through everyday compassion and justice.

Agape Love

Agape love reflects the selfless and unconditional choice of acting with patience and compassion for the wellbeing of others. It is a love given freely—expressing kindness, patience, and lasting commitment without expecting anything in return. Rooted in the Biblical example of God’s love and sacrifice for humanity, agape love calls each of us to live with humility and grace in service to others.

You Know What It's Like

Life and loss. Recognizing experiences that are common to many; then trying to comprehend what it's like to lose the love of one's life and find a way to move forward.

North Dakota Bound

Returning home to North Dakota.

This Place Is Home

“This Place is Home” is Christine’s tribute to a multi-generational family homestead in northern Minnesota and to the people whose lives helped make it “home.” Originally written for her father’s 80th birthday celebration and performed with family (including Norwegian cousins), the song has since taken on a wider life—used by others in remembrance and celebration of loved ones. At its heart, it’s about belonging: honoring the past, carrying love forward, and letting a place hold the stories that continue to shape us.

Elevator Man

“Elevator Man” is Christine’s affectionate portrait of a North Dakota life rooted in work, neighborliness, and small-town rhythms. Inspired by her father in law—known as the “elevator man” for owning and managing the local grain elevator—the song remembers everyday goodness: caring for a garden, fishing at Devils Lake, showing up for neighbors, and the comfort of summer afternoons shared with food, stories, and familiar roads. It’s a tribute to a man defined not by titles, but by presence—husband, father, neighbor, friend.

Calling Me Home

In “Calling Me Home,” Christine reflects on her father’s lifelong bond with the family homestead farm—where he felt most grounded and most himself. As his health declined late in life, the farm remained a source of comfort and meaning; even after time away, he longed to return, describing the land as if it were “calling” him back. The song holds that sense of place as memory—fields, wind, clouds, familiar rooms—and the quiet peace of being surrounded by what shaped a life and the loved ones who came before.

Sunset

In “Sunset,” Christine writes from a story shared by a friend: a father nearing the end of life asked for one simple gift—one more evening watching the sunset with his son at their Minnesota lake home. The song lingers in that scene: clean air, night sounds, quiet companionship, and the ever-changing colors of the sky. It’s a meditation on letting moments be enough, and on the tenderness of closing a chapter not with spectacle, but with beauty and togetherness.

Ivory's March

Christine originally wrote this processional for her own wedding as “Ivory’s March,” designed to be simple, confident, and joyful. Over time, she expanded and adapted it—transposing parts to create a more majestic sound and later reviving it for her niece Teresa (“Tig”) when Tig married Jeremy. With versions arranged for different instruments, the piece carries a steady sense of celebration: music meant to be played with clarity, strength, and unmistakable happiness.

World Around You

“World Around You” is a modern devotion song about choosing steadiness, family, and everyday faith over the old impulse to chase achievement. The singer looks at his partner as the true compass—“my north when the weather won’t clear”—someone who carries heavy responsibilities yet still makes space for love and home, and whose calm teaches the restless heart how to rest. Against the backdrop of noise, uncertainty, grief, and plans that don’t hold, the song finds its anchor in small rituals with their son and the decision to keep showing up when life shakes. Framed by a soaring chorus and a virtuosic guitar solo, it’s ultimately a vow: to stay close, keep choosing each other, and build a life defined by presence and grace.

I Remember You Now

In “I Remember You Now,” Christine captures a tender moment with her Aunt Margie, whose memory was fading but whose love remained unmistakable. During a visit in a nursing home, Margie asked to be reminded who Christine was—then held tightly to the present with a simple, luminous declaration: even if she couldn’t remember later, she loved her, and she remembered her now. The song is a gentle meditation on dementia and devotion, offering comfort in the idea that memories may come and go, but love endures.

Spirit Move Us

“Spirit Move Us” is Christine’s prayerful call to compassion and action: a reminder of how easy it is to stay protected inside the “cocoon” of everyday life and overlook the needs around us. The song asks for a stirring of conscience—toward justice, love, and mercy—and names the realities people face, from hunger and lack of shelter to illness without affordable care, discrimination, despair, and the search for refuge and safety. It’s both an invitation and a challenge: to see more clearly, respond more humbly, and keep moving toward healing.
