This song based on Ephesians 4:1-15 encourages the local church to live and work as a ‘team’ to be the Body of Christ to those around us - it was was written as an ‘Olympic’ song for the Resound Worship ‘2024 12 Song Challenge.
How do we wait for God to move in a situation when we feel desperate? How do we do that actively and not passively? This song is based around crying out to God in a time of deep darkness knowing that He will come and rescue. This is my attempt to articulate that feeling of needing God to come from a position of being in a difficult place but knowing that He will come - "My Champion..."
"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” Hebrews 6:19
This song was written as a part of Resound Worship's 12 Song Challenge on the theme of hope. Based on the passage from Hebrews, this song has the feel of an old sea shanty. It also evokes other nautical hymns such as "Will Your Anchor Hold in the Storms of Life?" Many thanks to Chris Fischer for supplying the wonderful vocals. This song is free to use for your congregation, but please report use to One License or CCLI.
It is a comforting realization that God does not abandon us during our darkest hours. Instead, during our most painful trials, He is carrying us. This song is about trusting in God.
A song for someone. "How long, O Lord, will you hide your face?"
I wrote this lament with a particular person in mind, but we all have times where it could be for us.
Written as part of the 2024 12 Song Challenge.
"...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.
This song is about the prodigal son and how the fathers arms is our home. I wrote this when wrestling with the idea of home as I left London where I felt so at home and been wrestling with the idea of what home looks like for me. Reading the passage in Luke 15:11-32, I realised my home isn't in a building, an area or a person, it's in the Fathers arms.
