Written as part of the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge to craft a ‘Community song’ – where the focus is on gathered singing rather than a complex musical arrangement. The chorus has multiple parts that can be sung by different sections of a gathered congregation to each other (and all at the same time!). The verses recognise the diversity that exists in the body of Christ and encompasses elements of the mission statement of Emmanuel Church Durham – “to be a growing, charismatic family church with a world vision”
"God is good, His love endures forever" in Hebrew is the shortest song in the bible. In 2 Chronicles when Solomon dedicated the temple to God, many musicians in the band played a fanfare on trumpets & other instruments, and as the crowd sang these words the temple was filled like a cloud with the glory of God. Later in the book the song is used again after Jehoshaphat was told "You will not have to fight this battle ... Do not be afraid ... The Lord will be with you."

From our recent teaching series on Hebrews, this song highlights four passages which affirm we can draw near to Jesus, our great High Priest, for help in our time of need. In response, as a royal priesthood, we are called to bless others in his name. Written for the Resound 12 Song Challenge 2024.

Yes - It's a Christmas song..!. This sprang out of of a reflection on Christmas being a time when many families gather. We come together for all kind of valid reasons, but it's good to be reminded that the primary reason is that we are gathering in the name of Jesus. All the celebration, feasting and gift giving is great, but he is "the reason for the season", and our true home is in Him. We can enjoy fellowship in His Church and peace with Him whatever our earthy family background is.
