A song about how God talks to us. If you are envious of people who relate stories of how God has spoken to them, join the club. That type of thing can be both encouraging and discouraging prompting us to think “why doesn’t God talk to me like that?” Perhaps God does and we just don’t recognise the voice. Perhaps we are expecting thunderclaps and flashing light bulbs? Hmm …... I know God speaks to me but I often don’t realise it until some time afterwards when I have an “Oh, yeah” moment and often I don’t realise it at all. The reality is that the Holy Spirit is whispering to us all the time “help that person, share your bread, your friend needs a hug etc etc”. And “shock, horror” the Spirit whispers to everyone, not just Christians. But the biggest revelation to me was that God speaks to us all the time through every part of his creation. Listen to your own heartbeat and there is a whisper of God. “Every breath we take, every single heartbeat, every smile in the street” is a whisper of God’s voice. Wow!!!!!

For many people, Christmas can be a difficult season instead of a joyful one. It can make us feel alone in a crowd as we carry our secret heartbreak and grief. Gatherings only seem to highlight the empty chairs and the broken dreams–the absence of the people we love or the things we desire that we’ve lost or never had. While everyone else is having a great time in the presence of family and friends, we can feel isolated. Alone. Numb. Empty. At Christmastime the air is full of songs of hope that say things like “the weary world rejoices”. How can our weary hearts, exhausted by a long season of waiting, sorrow, and pain, find the strength to endure? This song is for everyone who is experiencing the weight of that loss and grief. Jesus meets you there. The incarnation shows us a God who is not distant, but willing to take on human flesh and experience every moment of our grief and sadness. Even knowing he was about to resurrect his friend Lazarus, Jesus wept at the ugliness of death and the pain he saw in Mary and Martha’s eyes. He is Emmanuel: God with us. Jesus meets all of us in the darkness and weeps with us too. ~Anna Dufek & Luke Lengl Stream "Jesus Prince of Peace" wherever you find music: https://l.lxtr.nl/jpop
We are God’s servants in a world that scorns our trust in God. In some other psalms God’s people begin with their own search for solutions, but here from the very beginning the poet looks up to God, the king of heaven. The psalm is a lament, with no immediate resolution in sight. Instead, in the midst of need, it describes a servant’s humble, attentive, persistent stance: looking to God for mercy.

A complete remake of my song based on Psalm 46. It is written in a Contemporary Christian/Christian Rock/80's synth style. Like many Psalms, it contains elements of questioning, challenge and finally, faith. The calm choruses contrast with the wordy, stream-of-thought verses, providing a faithful assurance in our times of doubt and confusion. Note that this recording is in the key of F# while the printed music is in the key of F.
A little a cappella number from a Taize 12 song challenge. It's roughly in the key of A but you can pitch it wherever feels most comfortable for congregation and harmonisers. The video is when I taught it to a small Sunday evening worship meeting. Lyrics in French are also included and a recording of the French version is available on request.

"A Time For Everything" was written in 2024 during the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge Month where we were encouraged to write "a song for someone" - A song which someone in my church congregation could sing with real relevance, but where it could also be sung by everyone. At the time, we has a family whose teenage daughter was suffering from unexplained seizures and swelling on the brain. She was in the intensive care ward of the specialist hospital, with the doctors a bit baffled by the cause and the necessary treatments. Her parents testified about how they were hanging on to faith through the circumstances, despite there not being a clear end in sight. This song was written for them to sing. Thankfully she's on the mend now and back at school, after great medical care and a bit of a miraculous recovery. It's my hope that this is a song you can sing, either because you're going through troubled times, or because you're standing alongside someone who is.
