The scene in Isaiah 6, a spokesman for the LORD, silenced in the face of his holiness. Let's recreate this in our own times with the LORD. They're not supposed to be dreary or dull. We get to come into the presence of the holy of holies, the one no-one can compare or ever come close to. Ponder that!
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.
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.
Starting from John 4:14, this songs explores our constant need for Living Water. It was developed at and after the ‘Worship Songwriting Retreat WSR15’.
Written in 2023 and in use at Emmanuel Church Durham, this is an upbeat gathering song to declare that we 'Enter his gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise'.
