I'm accepted sings about our life, now adopted into Gods family, redeemed, forgiven, accepted by Gods sacrifice. The reality of our new life in God, worshipping as a response.
A song to encourage us to share our faith stories - something we can all do so this is a song for everyone!
The more I discover about God the more I am amazed by the depth of love and freedom the LORD gives us. I also realise how we carry around a great deal of baggage emanating from what I call ‘bad church’; our received cultural heritage of “what the bible says” rather than a true understanding of what it really does say and mean. This song is about one particular issue that we may carry some hang-ups about - confession.
Being brought up as an Ulster protestant it is not surprising that I might see confession as a ritual to keep us feeling bad and fallen and under the thumb of a controlling church, I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Confession is a fantastic gift from our loving God who only wants us to be set free. There is nothing we can do that could make God love us less, we just think there is. We carry hurt, self-loathing, all sorts of pain, and Jesus simply says, “Give it to Me, I will take it away and release you from it”. That is what confession is for, to release us. We never have to be ‘good enough’ because Jesus is. Give all the rubbish you carry up to him, He’ll take it all and it is gone. And it isn’t a contractual arrangement where we have to confess it for Christ to take it away. We are forgiven already, the confessing is for us to surrender the hurt, pain, and wrong, so that we can let it go too and be released from it. So whatever it is that you are carrying, give it up to Jesus and just bask in His love.
A song exploring and expressing awe and wonder at the creation and salvation of our incredible God. It is the first song I recorded featuring vocals by Chloe Rose, an amazing songwriter and musician from the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge group.
We wanted a song that celebrated the goodness of the Lord here and now, but also reflected the fact that it is us as followers of Jesus, with the help of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, that bring that goodness into the places we inhabit each day. Based on Psalm 27
The 12 song challenge was to write a theme song for your church. This is mine and hopefully it should be applicable to any church. After all surely it is our mission to share Christ's love by means of a big dose of the fruits of the Spirit.
Taking Hannah's words from 1 Samuel 2: 1-10, I have created this reflection and prayer for a more just and equitable world. This song might also have been titled "Song of Hannah: a Hymn of Praise and Protest". The hymn is free to use but please report congregational use to One License or CCLI.

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.
