This song is almost literally word-for-word from Colossians 1:15-20 (ESV), which is about the supremacy of Christ. I wrote this song as part of the 12 Song Challenge, where the theme for the month was writing songs using word-for-word portions of scripture.
This song puts us in the place of looking ahead at Heaven and the joy ahead. Using the image from the parable of the prodigal son, where the father runs to his son from afar, welcoming him home. In that place there will be eternal worship. A song like this may not be seen often, and I hope that this comforts and blesses you.
A song for when we need to look at Jesus, lifting our eyes off what might distract and discourage and focus on our rock. Written as part of the 2025 Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge.
"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secureā Hebrews 6:19
This song was written as a part of Resound Worship's 12 Song Challenge on the theme of hope. Based on the passage from Hebrews, this song has the feel of an old sea shanty. It also evokes other nautical hymns such as "Will Your Anchor Hold in the Storms of Life?" Many thanks to Chris Fischer for supplying the wonderful vocals. This song is free to use for your congregation, but please report use to One License or CCLI.
