God’s people were surrounded by enemies and in desperate need. Now, after many intervening dangers, they realize with joy that God has been on their side: defending, sustaining, and releasing them from death. God’s care and love is ultimately revealed to us in Jesus, who offered his own life in sacrifice to save us, and who in resurrection power showed himself sovereign over death, “the last enemy to be destroyed”.
This psalm divides in two halves, each about God restoring the fortunes of his people. The first recalls a great surprise in their past that even the surrounding nations noticed. The second looks to the future during a time of hard work and weeping, asking God to restore their fortunes again. Central to the psalm is the hopeful refrain: “the Lord has done great things for us; we are glad.” Whether laughing or weeping, in recalling God’s goodness, we can hope in the Lord.

Sometimes, we are a bit slow in asking God what we really want. Not Bartimaeus, he knew exactly what he wanted and shouted it out. I've tried to follow that theme in this song.

A song about finding rest in God amidst a world of noise.
"...and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" Micah 6: 8b
A modern musical setting of Micah 6: 3-8. The chorus is taught easily as it is written in a call and response form. The music evokes an ancient time (i.e. before we starting worrying about things like parallel fifths). This song is particularly suited for large informal gatherings as the call-and-response chorus is easily taught.

A song of global praise, designed to be combined with singing and musical expression and solos using ANY traditional instrument or contemporary instrument. With simple lyrics that could be translated into any language, with the hope of unifying the global church with each time it is sung.
Based on Exodus 33-34 when the Lord proclaimed His name to Moses on the mountain.
This song is about the prodigal son and how the fathers arms is our home. I wrote this when wrestling with the idea of home as I left London where I felt so at home and been wrestling with the idea of what home looks like for me. Reading the passage in Luke 15:11-32, I realised my home isn't in a building, an area or a person, it's in the Fathers arms.
