David Cottrell, Matt Osgood and Worship Song Recording
An up-beat song of invitation to worship God as Father, Son and Spirit - written for the first 12 Song Challenge in 2016.
I’ve always found it remarkable that on the night of Jesus’ arrest Peter was so afraid that he denied Jesus in the dark of night to a servant girl, and yet just a few chapters later he was standing in an open market place in the bright light of day declaring the gospel to all who would listen. This dramatic transformation can only be down to the work of the Holy Spirit. And that same spirit is at work in us today. Based on Acts 2 and the passage Peter reads from Joel, it’s a call for the same empowerment and release for us.

Resound Worship, Mark Bradford
This song draws its origins from the time of the illness and death of my Dad. Singing and making music before the Lord became a particularly important expression of worship for me at a time when I was largely unable to process exactly how I was feeling. And yet there were very few songs that resounded with how I was feeling; often it wasn’t the lyrics that were the problem, but the tone or mood of the song that just didn’t resonate.
While sitting at the piano with these kinds of thoughts in mind one day, this song began to emerge. It sought to express a confidence in God, albeit a confidence expressed in brokenness rather than in triumph; yet a confidence determinedly holding on to the promises of God - not least the ultimate promise that, one day, God will make all things new.
The second, third and fourth verses were written first, and came together relatively straightforwardly - though with lots of tinkering on the way. The first verse was the struggle, and the writing of it encapsulated the move I had to make from seeing it as ‘my song’, coming out of my particular experience, to one that, hopefully, can be sung by others within their own contexts of brokenness - past, present or future.
