This was written for a "Word for Word" Challenge as part of the 2024 12 Song Challenge. I am currently in negotiation with the publishers of the NIV to try and seek permission to register this song.
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”
