Lord, now with Thanks for your Mercy we Come (Romans 12)
David Cottrell
This song explores what a 'living sacrifice' can look like in our lives. Inspired by the ‘Straight to the Heart’ Bible Study book on Paul’s Letter to the Romans where Chapter 12 breaks down what it means to be a ‘living sacrifice’ into three areas: living towards God, towards the Church, and towards others. The items it highlights are each relatively small – faithful prayer, offering our gifts which may include hospitality, looking out for and humbly serving others in difficulty, both in and outside the church – but with our hearts and outlook focussed on God rather than ourselves.

Thank you, O Lord for All you have Given
David Cottrell
‘All things come from you, and of your own do we give you’ - referencing this prayer often used in our church, this song expresses our thanks for all God is and has given us, but also pledges our response of generosity. Written for the Resound 12 Song challenge 2020, this is one I come back to in many circumstances.

David Cottrell, Matt Osgood and Worship Song Recording
Written to reflect the start of a teaching series in 2018, where from Genesis 1:26-28 & 12:1-3 we saw how God wants to bless us and how we can locate ourselves in a place to receive or hinder these blessings so they overflow to bless those around us.
