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.
This is a great song to sing as a congregation. A declaration of who we are in Christ and a real celebration. I imagined a parade processing down a street with banners and loud shouts of praise. Works well with just guitar and vocal too.
This song is about the prodigal son and how the fathers arms is our home. I wrote this when wrestling with the idea of home as I left London where I felt so at home and been wrestling with the idea of what home looks like for me. Reading the passage in Luke 15:11-32, I realised my home isn't in a building, an area or a person, it's in the Fathers arms.

Written as part of the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge in July 2024, this song combines and updates the words of two Isaac Watts hymns ("And now another day is gone" and "From all that dwell below the skies").
Ideal for personal worship and prayer at the end of the day, it expresses gratitude for the day just gone and hope for rest and a faith-filled future.
Musically - imagine what Pink Floyd would sound like if Isaac Watts had joined as a lyricist...
It's all to easy to despair if we star too long at the world's problems. This song is a prayer to ask God to renew his great deeds in our day - to remember mercy and bring revival.
