Reading the story of the Prodigal Son, I was struck by how the father hugged his son and gave him a coat, a robe. He restored his status, clothed him. Suddenly I was reminded of the soldiers who took away the robe of Jesus, God’s Son, when He was crucified. They cast lots to decide whose it would be. Jesus laid down His robe, His authority, His dignity, His status, for me to be clothed with garments of salvation and wrapped in a robe of righteousness (Isaiah 61:10). I was so amazed that I wrote this song.
This was a 12 song challenge to write a song based on one of the Psalms. I decided to start at the beginning of the book of Psalms and choose the first one that seemed to appeal to me and which I hadn't used before. I settled for Psalm 15 which clearly defines what a believer should be like and it beautifully mirrors what Jesus taught which is rather prescient to current events in the evangelical church.

When we focus on the character and attributes of God, there will always be a new song in our mouths.
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.
