"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 song was written out of a desire to honour God with our praise and worship but, not in a big loud way, which is unusual for me because I love songs that are big and loud and have a driving beat, but in a more reverent and thoughtful way. I tried to be as careful and thoughtful with the lyrics as I could whilst also maintaining a rhyming scheme and a singable melody.

Created as part of the 2024 Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge, this song was written to encapsulate the Mission and Vision Statement of my Church - Emmanuel Church Durham. It also comes with a caveat that this was an experiment to us AI to assist in the writing process. Having used Chat GPT to draft lyrics based a upon a long prompt containing the church mission statement, the words were heavily edited to make them my own. After that, I gave those lyrics to Udio.ai to come up with a "modern congregational worship song". The resultant AI-generated melody and chord progression are still substantially recognisable in this recorded version, but the instruments and vocals it generated have been replaced by real human performance and interpretation. Does it work? Is this a valid way to write songs? The jury make be out, but this is not something I intend to make a habit out of - it was an exercise of discovery. Even though we know every human is influenced by what they have heard, this process re-affirms my desire to leverage the God-given creativity of the human, rather than allow AI to potentially source and plagiarise copyrighted material.
