How do we wait for God to move in a situation when we feel desperate? How do we do that actively and not passively? This song is based around crying out to God in a time of deep darkness knowing that He will come and rescue. This is my attempt to articulate that feeling of needing God to come from a position of being in a difficult place but knowing that He will come - "My Champion..."
There are lots of great opening songs that focus on attributes of God (his greatness, his faithfulness, his holiness, etc.) but not so many that focus explicitly on Christ. I wanted to write something in an up-tempo, contemporary style that carries the Christ-exalting richness of passages like Colossians 1 and Philippians 2. The three verses intertwine the story of our salvation with the story of Christ’s eternal glory, while the chorus lifts for a big, worshipping response.
A song for when we need to look at Jesus, lifting our eyes off what might distract and discourage and focus on our rock. Written as part of the 2025 Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge.
Singing the bedrock of our faith is a glorious and faith building thing to do and leads us into worship. The Nicene Creed was written 2000 years ago to try and lay out clearly all that we believe. We took writing this song very seriously, keeping everything as close as possible to the original and leaving no important part out. Our prayer is that this singing out of our solid foundation and declaration of what we believe will strengthen the church and deepen its worship.

In the desolate places (or wilderness seasons) of life, God shows that He is still at work, and that may be the very place He wants us in order to satisfy our longings for Him. This song encourages us to find our rest in Jesus.
