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”.
"...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.
This song explores what a 'living sacrifice' can look like in our lives.
Inspired by the ‘Straight to the Heart’ Bible Study book on Paul’s Letter to the Romans where Chapter 12 breaks down what it means to be a ‘living sacrifice’ into three areas: living towards God, towards the Church, and towards others.
The items it highlights are each relatively small – faithful prayer, offering our gifts which may include hospitality, looking out for and humbly serving others in difficulty, both in and outside the church – but with our hearts and outlook focussed on God rather than ourselves.
From the May 2024 Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge - a song that uses the words of scripture directly, This is taken from Psalm 34 (New International Version)
