I'm often struck by New Year's resolutions and how we try hard in our own strength to improve ourselves but, all too often, end up failing. This song was written as a reminder that we have all we need in Christ who accomplished what we could not by conquering sin and death.
"God is good, His love endures forever" in Hebrew is the shortest song in the bible.
In 2 Chronicles when Solomon dedicated the temple to God, many musicians in the band played a fanfare on trumpets & other instruments, and as the crowd sang these words the temple was filled like a cloud with the glory of God.
Later in the book the song is used again after Jehoshaphat was told "You will not have to fight this battle ... Do not be afraid ... The Lord will be with you."
This is a song that I co-wrote as part of a Songwriting day that the Ark Curch Huddersfield had with our friends at Huddersfield Community Church.
We recorded this at the end of the day with Jenny singing and Marcus playing.
It's a song that can be spilt into parts for the chorus.
