Distant Places, Desperate Times (Psalm 120)
Keith Clemenger
Distress is a significant part of our experience. As God's people we are often surrounded by hostile enemies, base falsehoods, and injustice. At the outset of these Psalms of Ascent, the pilgrim feels the force of this distressing context and pleads with the Lord for help. With honesty about life’s struggles and a persistent choice to hope in God, these songs of pilgrimage to Jerusalem trace our own journey to the heavenly city.

Emmanuel
Jon Cairns, Joy Cairns
"Emmanuel" isn't just for Christmas. We often use this name for God when referring to Jesus being born as a man on Earth, hence why it's more commonly used in the run-up to Christmas. But God has always been with us, and will continue to be with us by His Spirit. My wife and I wrote this song as part of the 12 Song Challenge for 2024.

We Crown You
Jon Cairns
I think it's such a powerful thing to declare Jesus as king - we join with all of heaven when we do so. This song is about turning from our sin and idols, and placing the crown on Jesus' head. It works well as a response song, and fits particularly well during communion.

Passion for Your Name
Jon Cairns
I wrote this song while listening to a friend, Fusi Mokoena, preach to our church on the topic of "zeal". The first two lines of the song, along with the melody, dropped into my head and the rest of the song flowed from that point. I completed it with the help of the 12 Song Challenge community, as part of the April 2024 challenge.

Come To The Water
Ineke Marsman-Polhuijs
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.

Joy
Andy Biggs, Tom Kelleher, Catharine Revill, Ryan Marklew
Written as part of the 2024 Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge - an upbeat (Funky!) song to celebrate the fullness of life in Christ. Whilst it focuses on joy, the other listed fruits of the spirit are in there too. What better way to remember them all than to have them in a song!
