Love Abides digs deep into the attributes of God's love, naming the qualities and strength of it and where we can go to access it.
This is a nice sending song for the end of a worship service.
Andy Biggs, Catharine Revill, Tom Kelleher
A sporting analogy song which echoes the words of 1 Tim 4:8, what training for Godliness is of more value that physical training, even though the latter has some value. Like the apostle Paul, we seek to run the race before us with endurance.
Written as part of the 2024 Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge under the theme “Olympic songs”

"We are one body" was written in 2020 during the first lockdown. Our church, St Paul's and St Stephen's, Newport, needed a song to encourage each other at a time when two congregations had recently merged together. This song has continued to build us up since then!

Resound Worship, Mark Bradford
This song draws its origins from the time of the illness and death of my Dad. Singing and making music before the Lord became a particularly important expression of worship for me at a time when I was largely unable to process exactly how I was feeling. And yet there were very few songs that resounded with how I was feeling; often it wasn’t the lyrics that were the problem, but the tone or mood of the song that just didn’t resonate.
While sitting at the piano with these kinds of thoughts in mind one day, this song began to emerge. It sought to express a confidence in God, albeit a confidence expressed in brokenness rather than in triumph; yet a confidence determinedly holding on to the promises of God - not least the ultimate promise that, one day, God will make all things new.
The second, third and fourth verses were written first, and came together relatively straightforwardly - though with lots of tinkering on the way. The first verse was the struggle, and the writing of it encapsulated the move I had to make from seeing it as ‘my song’, coming out of my particular experience, to one that, hopefully, can be sung by others within their own contexts of brokenness - past, present or future.

This is a good song to sing as a re-dedication to God. It works really well with just guitar and vocal.
