There is No One Like You (Holy)
Lorna Heaps, Andy Biggs
The scene in Isaiah 6, a spokesman for the LORD, silenced in the face of his holiness. Let's recreate this in our own times with the LORD. They're not supposed to be dreary or dull. We get to come into the presence of the holy of holies, the one no-one can compare or ever come close to. Ponder that!

We Are the People of God
Andy Biggs, Catharine Revill, Tom Kelleher
Written as part of the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge to craft a ‘Community song’ – where the focus is on gathered singing rather than a complex musical arrangement. The chorus has multiple parts that can be sung by different sections of a gathered congregation to each other (and all at the same time!). The verses recognise the diversity that exists in the body of Christ and encompasses elements of the mission statement of Emmanuel Church Durham – “to be a growing, charismatic family church with a world vision”

The Gift of God
Andy Biggs
Starting out from thinking about the fake halo angels and tea-towel clothed shepherds in school nativity plays, this song focuses on receiving in the true gift of God at Christmas - the child foretold by the prophets who grew to be our saviour.

Christ our Homecoming
Andy Biggs, Catherine Revill
Yes - It's a Christmas song..!. This sprang out of of a reflection on Christmas being a time when many families gather. We come together for all kind of valid reasons, but it's good to be reminded that the primary reason is that we are gathering in the name of Jesus. All the celebration, feasting and gift giving is great, but he is "the reason for the season", and our true home is in Him. We can enjoy fellowship in His Church and peace with Him whatever our earthy family background is.

We Look to Jesus
Andy Biggs, Alistair Collins, Catharine Revill, Tom Kelleher, Stevie Hill
This song reminds us that the only true place for us to focus first is on our Lord Jesus. Then, when we look at our sin or the broken world, we can have the right response – to receive grace, worship Him and to speak of and share His love. Written by Ali Collins as part of the 2024 Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge.

We Worship You, Emmanuel
Andy Biggs, Catharine Revill, Tom Kelleher
Created as part of the 2024 Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge, this song was written to encapsulate the Mission and Vision Statement of my Church - Emmanuel Church Durham. It also comes with a caveat that this was an experiment to us AI to assist in the writing process. Having used Chat GPT to draft lyrics based a upon a long prompt containing the church mission statement, the words were heavily edited to make them my own. After that, I gave those lyrics to Udio.ai to come up with a "modern congregational worship song". The resultant AI-generated melody and chord progression are still substantially recognisable in this recorded version, but the instruments and vocals it generated have been replaced by real human performance and interpretation. Does it work? Is this a valid way to write songs? The jury make be out, but this is not something I intend to make a habit out of - it was an exercise of discovery. Even though we know every human is influenced by what they have heard, this process re-affirms my desire to leverage the God-given creativity of the human, rather than allow AI to potentially source and plagiarise copyrighted material.
