How do we wait for God to move in a situation when we feel desperate? How do we do that actively and not passively? This song is based around crying out to God in a time of deep darkness knowing that He will come and rescue. This is my attempt to articulate that feeling of needing God to come from a position of being in a difficult place but knowing that He will come - "My Champion..."
There are lots of great opening songs that focus on attributes of God (his greatness, his faithfulness, his holiness, etc.) but not so many that focus explicitly on Christ. I wanted to write something in an up-tempo, contemporary style that carries the Christ-exalting richness of passages like Colossians 1 and Philippians 2. The three verses intertwine the story of our salvation with the story of Christ’s eternal glory, while the chorus lifts for a big, worshipping response.

This is my first song posting and it is a collaboration with Terry Young as a co-write and friends form the Resound 12 Song Challenge as "Ebberstonia" who helped to perform the song. The song was written out of the Resound 12 Song Challenge as a "remake" of the old Rock of Ages. Whilst distinctly different it nods to the original in shape, structure and sentiment. Rock of Ages Rehewn by Stephen Sloss & Terry Young Performed by Ebberstonia With a nod to Hastings & Toplady Keyboard - David Brackenbury Whistle - Cath Butler Guitar, Vocal & Video - Stephen Sloss Bass, Production & Arrangement - Andy Biggs Words & Music © Stephen Sloss / Terry Young (Admin by ChurchSongs.co.uk) 2025 CCLI 7269174
