God our Father (Let your kingdom come) [Live]
Resound Worship, Sam Hargreaves
This song came out of an improvised moment of prayer, where I led the congregation in the “chorus” part of this song. We were singing it out over situations in our world - injustice, issues on the news or problems in our communities. I would encourage you to try this for yourself, perhaps showing images of issues on a screen, or encouraging people to picture a situation in their mind as they sing. The verses came later as I decided to try and set the Lord’s Prayer in a way that it was singable and recognisable, and yet would immediately apply the prayer to our everyday lives.

Lay It Down
Mike Jariyaphruttipong, Becca Terndrup
Inspired by Psalms 23, He leads us to green pastures and streams of water, resting with Him, laying down our burdens before Him, and being picked up by Jesus once again. This is a soft and gentle song, a personal and encouraging song.

Your Heart Is For Me
Chris Taylor
I wanted to write a song which recognised the busyness of life, and the doubt and uncertainty many people experience. This was inspired by Jesus’ words from Matthew 10. Keiko Ying and Dave Forrey from the Resound Worship "12 Song Challenge" gave a lot of help with lyrics.

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.
