Genesis

reply Back to all books
This song draws on different biblical images of ideal times and places: the Peaceable Kingdom (Isaiah 11), the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2) and the new Jerusalem (Revelation 4 & 21). It is written in a Contemporary Christian style perhaps similar to the Rend Collective or Robin Mark. Note that this recording modulates up a semitone for the last verse. This song is included in Then Let Us Sing, a music resource published by the United Church of Canada in 2025. Most pictures in the video are courtesy of www.pexels.com.

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.

I wrote this song as part of the 12 song challenge to write a song about God's generosity. I wanted to convey the reality from 1 chronicles 29.14 that everything we have is a gift from God and we simply return to Him what is His already. In verse 2 I also allude to God's provision of a ram as a substitute for Isaac, and our need for God to provide the perfect sacrifice of His Son for us to be in relationship with God.
