John 11:35, the shortest verse in the Bible, it the theme running through this song. I expanded on this verse referring to the death of Lazarus, to cite other examples when Jesus wept, drawing from other gospels as well - the birth of Jesus (Luke 2), Jesus weeping for Jerusalem (Luke 13:34-35) and the death of Jesus (Matt. 27:50, Mark 15:39), and Psalm 30:5 as well. The style of the music is related to plainsong/chant, of course with some modern twists!

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”
