It's Good to be Home
Jonathan Lake
This song is about the prodigal son and how the fathers arms is our home. I wrote this when wrestling with the idea of home as I left London where I felt so at home and been wrestling with the idea of what home looks like for me. Reading the passage in Luke 15:11-32, I realised my home isn't in a building, an area or a person, it's in the Fathers arms.

Kids' Creed
John Grummitt, Sue Crossman
Resound Worship’s 12 Song Challenge this month was to take inspiration from the great creeds of the church. I was at the annual Resound Worship Songwriters’ Retreat at Wydale Hall in Yorkshire, UK so had plenty of time to reflection, and I took inspiration from the Nicene Creed. Pairing up with the very talented Sue Crossman of Hopestream Worship, we came up with this. Each verse focusses on expanding, in language simple enough for children, each person of the Trinity. Since writing it, we’ve used it regularly in our Sunday School and family services and it’s a hit with young and old alike.

Jesus you have called us (I will follow) [Live]
Resound Worship, Joel Payne
This song seeks to echo the words of Jesus who called for a new sacrifical life from his disciples. I've tried to keep it as simple as possible, so that we can consider the call and respond with a repeated "I will follow", hoping that each time we sing those three words our commitment becomes a little bit more real in our hearts.

O faithful Lord [Live]
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.

Daily I stumble (Grace enough) [Live]
Resound Worship, Ben Atkins
This simple song serves an opportunity to realign ourselves with God's gracious rescue. Our daily experience of destructive decisions is a story we all find ourselves in. But it is only a passing page in The Story of our Father's extravagant grace. Losing our place in his story of grace will always lead us deeper into death at the hands of the religion we crave to make ourselves okay - and religion never changed anyone's heart for the better! The Story that Jesus has invited us into is one of grace, not religion; it transforms the shameful burden of a servant into the joyful song of a child. It's time for us to remember our new existence is one of nothing but grace.

Jesus Wept
David Kai
John 11:35, the shortest verse in the Bible, it the theme running through this song. I expanded on this verse referring to the death of Lazarus, to cite other examples when Jesus wept, drawing from other gospels as well - the birth of Jesus (Luke 2), Jesus weeping for Jerusalem (Luke 13:34-35) and the death of Jesus (Matt. 27:50, Mark 15:39), and Psalm 30:5 as well. The style of the music is related to plainsong/chant, of course with some modern twists!
