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.
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.
This song based on Isaiah 41:10 puts the ancient text into a modern setting. "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you..." This song is free to use but please report congregational use to One License or CCLI.

It's all to easy to despair if we star too long at the world's problems. This song is a prayer to ask God to renew his great deeds in our day - to remember mercy and bring revival.
This simple prayer for help and commitment was written for the 2024 12 Song Challenge. I deliberately tried to keep the melody and language very simple, so that it could be sung by people of many ages and reading abilities. The wonderful Chloe Rose provided vocals.

When we focus on the character and attributes of God, there will always be a new song in our mouths.
This song was written in a time wherein I was so overwhelmed by grief that I couldn’t write songs anymore. Someone mentioned I could ask my pastor for a theme to write about. My pastor immediately knew: Romans 15:13. I studied Romans, read it in all translations I could find and then wrote this song. A song of hope when I felt no hope at all. But when I sang it to and in our church, I found I could sing it along very well. Now I hope this song will bring hope to others.
