Written as part of the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge to craft a ‘Community song’ – where the focus is on gathered singing rather than a complex musical arrangement. The chorus has multiple parts that can be sung by different sections of a gathered congregation to each other (and all at the same time!). The verses recognise the diversity that exists in the body of Christ and encompasses elements of the mission statement of Emmanuel Church Durham – “to be a growing, charismatic family church with a world vision”
Resound Worship, Geraldine Latty
At the end of a creative writing session, I took a moment to reflect on the experiences I'd had in the weeks previously, the big headlines [and the not so popular ones] that had caught my attention in the news, the conversations where ongoing questions and disappointment, the weeping and struggle with illness, were being expressed by friends and family. It wasn't long before the prayer 'Lord have mercy' began to form in my prayers and in my initial improvisations around the song.
