Written just before I started the 12 Song Challenge in 2024, this song has been used at Emmanuel Church Durham when we've had times of response to God, seeking to give ourselves to Him, be transformed for His glory and receive back abundant life.
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.
A sporting analogy song which echoes the words of 1 Tim 4:8, what training for Godliness is of more value that physical training, even though the latter has some value. Like the apostle Paul, we seek to run the race before us with endurance.

This was written for a "Closing Songs" Challenge as part of the 2022/23 12 Song Challenge. This was the first time in all my challenges where I played my Joker card to allow feedback on a song I was already working on.
