The pilgrims were bound for Jerusalem: a place for thanks to God, and to gather as God's people to worship Him. It was a festive homecoming! And yet, centuries later when Jesus looked over Jerusalem, he wept because so many of God's people had missed the life they were created for. As God's people today, we too are strangers longing for a better country. Our hope of arrival in God’s heavenly city is to follow Jesus and trust him completely.
A raw demo recording of a song inspired by a world where there is so much striving for material possession and validation from people and the only way we can be truly fulfilled is to know Jesus and have that relationship. A freedom which came at the ultimate cost paid by Christ on the cross.
Jon Cairns, Nathan Caughey
From a star in the sky to a shepherd in the field, the Christmas story is defined by choices. 'A Night Just Like This' invites you to look beyond the manger scene and make a choice of your own. Will you see Him only as a baby, or will you choose to accept Him as the King who gave His life for you?
This song is both a declaration and retelling of some of Jesus's miracles and healings, and also a prayer for Him to come and do the same today. It was written as part of 2024's 12 Song Challenge.
The song is a basic 12-bar blues in C with a twist. But every verse you add another four bars, and another couplet to the lyrics, from a simple refrain all the way to a full-on recollection of the story of the Magi.
An exploration of intimacy with God through His voice, and a dedication to listen and follow. Written for the Resound Worship "12 Song Challenge".
John Grummitt, Mary Elizabeth Byrne, Eleanor Henrietta Hull
I was singing this hymn devotionally one day when I simply carried on into a chorus because I felt a need to follow up a devotional verse with a chorus that committed me to practical application. I went with it, and this is what I came up with. I subsequently used it at church the following Sunday and it went down very well. Now I just need Chris Tomlin to cover it, and I can retire. In the meantime, you could use it!
We sang the song Oceans in church, a few months after our daughter was stillborn. I used to love that song. I always longed to walk in faith wherever God would lead me. But now I found myself not being able to sing it. What if going wherever He leads would mean I lose another child? I suddenly realized I didn’t trust God anymore. I was shocked.
Some months later I went to a songwriters retreat. In a workshop the leader invited us to write down what bothers us and to give it over to God. After that we asked God what He wanted to show us. I ‘see’ a man on the water. The sea is calm and the sun breaks through, right above the man. We told each other what we received. Then we prayed again and I ‘heared’ a song line from the band Live: ‘Run to the water. I find you there’. I thought it was funny. I’ve always loved Live and God knows that of course. I didn’t know what to do with it, though. ‘Isn’t that man Jesus?’ someone said. I was startled and immediately thought of the song Oceans again. I realised Jesus was inviting me to walk on the water, in the light. I wrestled with what this means exactly. I listened to Oceans again and then the last line hits me: ‘in the presence of my Saviour’. That’s what someone said as well: ‘But Ineke, you don’t walk alone on that water. God is always there.’ It is true. If I honestly look back, I can’t recall a moment I was completely left alone. I was always in the presence of my Saviour. I kneeled down and told God that I don’t dare, but somewhere deep-down want to trust Him. I just didn’t know how. Then I described what I saw in this song. In the months following, I sang it again and again.
