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.
We wanted a song that celebrated the goodness of the Lord here and now, but also reflected the fact that it is us as followers of Jesus, with the help of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, that bring that goodness into the places we inhabit each day. Based on Psalm 27

A song of global praise, designed to be combined with singing and musical expression and solos using ANY traditional instrument or contemporary instrument. With simple lyrics that could be translated into any language, with the hope of unifying the global church with each time it is sung.
I was reflecting on the Doxecology project and also thinking about the word ‘Resound’ - and the basic song came pretty quickly while I was driving on a long journey. It started off as my attempt to write a modern ‘How great Thou art’ with all of creation singing praise to the God who brings salvation and restoration to all of creation. However it quickly became clear that the subject matter was too big for this song, so after numerous Resound writing sessions I finally came to the conclusion it needed to be more to the point - that then released me to focus on the song as a call to worship. The verses went through many lyrical re-writes and the bridge was added at some point, using Revelation 4 which I hope gives a sense of call to eternal, everlasting praise.
This is a lament style full of angst song about patience out of the fruits of the Spirit 12 Song Challenge with Resound Worship. It's hopefully a song that stirs the heart and encourages us to wait for the Lord in all things.
This song is based primarily on Psalm 8 and might be used as an offertory song in worship or when there a focus on God's creation. I would describe the style as Contemporary Christian with a Celtic influence, although there's an 80's vibe in there somewhere! This song was written as a part of Resound Worship's 12 Song Challenge.
