A song of trust and devotion based on Psalm 63
Matt Weeks, Keiko Ying

Featuring Reuben Harsant on drums and Gemma Scharnowski on backing vocals.
A song about God as creator, sustainer and redeemer of all things
I've always loved the carol 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel' but there was a lot in there that I never really understood until adulthood. After following the United Adoration creative Advent guide I was inspired to rewrite it keeping in mind young people, teenagers and those who might be coming to Christmas services as guests. I've aimed to keep the message, story and vibe of the song whilst making it a little easier for people who aren't familiar with the language and history to understand and connect with God through it, touch on things relevant to today and leave enough room for questions to arise.
I'm very thankful to the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge community who helped me shape and finish this song.
The song is a basic 12-bar blues in C with a twist. But every verse you add another four bars, and another couplet to the lyrics, from a simple refrain all the way to a full-on recollection of the story of the Magi.
This was written for a "Jesus of Nazareth" Challenge as part of the 2024 12 Song Challenge.

I often travel by train from Leeds to London for work and the train journey can be a fertile place for songwriting inspiration. This is one example. The song is really about how God sees us, through the light of His glory. That’s a very different picture to the one we most probably have of ourselves. God sees us as we can be, a perfect creation …. Let that sink in!
Once we start seeing ourselves as God sees us it is much easier to be that person and become the embodiment of His Kingdom, sharing His amazing unconditional love and praising Him through everything we do. To be able to love others as God loves us it helps if we can first love ourselves in the way God does.
An exploration of intimacy with God through His voice, and a dedication to listen and follow. Written for the Resound Worship "12 Song Challenge".
