A song of darkness and hope set against the backdrop of Good Friday
Resound Worship’s 12 Song Challenge this month was to take inspiration from the great creeds of the church. I was at the annual Resound Worship Songwriters’ Retreat at Wydale Hall in Yorkshire, UK so had plenty of time to reflection, and I took inspiration from the Nicene Creed. Pairing up with the very talented Sue Crossman of Hopestream Worship, we came up with this.
Each verse focusses on expanding, in language simple enough for children, each person of the Trinity. Since writing it, we’ve used it regularly in our Sunday School and family services and it’s a hit with young and old alike.

David Cottrell, Matt Osgood and Worship Song Recording
Written to reflect the start of a teaching series in 2018, where from Genesis 1:26-28 & 12:1-3 we saw how God wants to bless us and how we can locate ourselves in a place to receive or hinder these blessings so they overflow to bless those around us.
This song is taken from the book of Ruth, chapter 1, and might be used at services where this scripture is a focus, as a closing hymn or for weddings/celebrations of life partnerships. The song was originally written to celebrate the 40th anniversary of a couple who had used this scripture passage at their wedding.
This was written for a "Communion Songs" Challenge as part of the 2020 12 Song Challenge.

This was written for a "Word for Word" Challenge as part of the 2024 12 Song Challenge. I am currently in negotiation with the publishers of the NIV to try and seek permission to register this song.

Written for a Resound Worship songwriting challenge, the intention is for the song to be a really simple worship song of adoration that is easily translatable and relatable for different people groups to access.
Resound Worship, Joel Payne
This song seeks to echo the words of Jesus who called for a new sacrifical life from his disciples. I've tried to keep it as simple as possible, so that we can consider the call and respond with a repeated "I will follow", hoping that each time we sing those three words our commitment becomes a little bit more real in our hearts.
