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.

I am not a fan of Christmas carols, but I do love a lot of Christmas songs, so in writing this I tried to combine the best of both.

Resound Worship, Sam Hargreaves
This song came out of an improvised moment of prayer, where I led the congregation in the “chorus” part of this song. We were singing it out over situations in our world - injustice, issues on the news or problems in our communities. I would encourage you to try this for yourself, perhaps showing images of issues on a screen, or encouraging people to picture a situation in their mind as they sing. The verses came later as I decided to try and set the Lord’s Prayer in a way that it was singable and recognisable, and yet would immediately apply the prayer to our everyday lives.

This is my first song posting and it is a collaboration with Terry Young as a co-write and friends form the Resound 12 Song Challenge as "Ebberstonia" who helped to perform the song. The song was written out of the Resound 12 Song Challenge as a "remake" of the old Rock of Ages. Whilst distinctly different it nods to the original in shape, structure and sentiment.
