Have You Been Redeemed?

Rebecca Beese

Over the last 18 months, the Resound Worship community have been talking about community songs, looking to write songs that rely on and draw people in to the singing experience rather songs that just go ahead with a band regardless of who is in the room. I wanted to write something that could be done with a band or a capella and would be enhanced by the congregation providing the percussion through clapping, stamping, clicking, shaking keys... here's what I came up with.

Come, Lord Jesus, Come

Rebecca Beese

I've always loved the carol 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel' but there was a lot in there that I never really understood until adulthood. After following the United Adoration creative Advent guide I was inspired to rewrite it keeping in mind young people, teenagers and those who might be coming to Christmas services as guests. I've aimed to keep the message, story and vibe of the song whilst making it a little easier for people who aren't familiar with the language and history to understand and connect with God through it, touch on things relevant to today and leave enough room for questions to arise. I'm very thankful to the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge community who helped me shape and finish this song.

Be Thou My Vision (That Others May See)

John Grummitt, Mary Elizabeth Byrne, Eleanor Henrietta Hull

I was singing this hymn devotionally one day when I simply carried on into a chorus because I felt a need to follow up a devotional verse with a chorus that committed me to practical application. I went with it, and this is what I came up with. I subsequently used it at church the following Sunday and it went down very well. Now I just need Chris Tomlin to cover it, and I can retire. In the meantime, you could use it!

Taste And See (Psalms 34)

Ineke Marsman-Polhuijs

This song started with a challenge: 'write a song about rest'. I was just reading Psalm 34 that week: Taste. See. Pondering on what that might mean, I realised that to really taste or see, I needed to pause, to rest, so I could focus on what my senses noticed. I decided to write about this Psalm and working on it, I found out it ministered to me. The song kept coming back when facing a small surgery I was really afraid of. I listened to the song over and over again and also sang it to others. It is the opening song of my first album as I hope my songs will help others to taste and see that the Lord is good.
