It'll be alright
Ken Spence
Challenged to write a "Hero" song I chose to write in the style of Tom Petty. Tom was one of the coolest guys in rock and so the title "It'll be alright" is very much in keeping with him. So too I hope the mouth organ and the solo guitar which is a poor man's attempt to copy the Heartbreaker's Mike Campbell.

Glory
Jon Cairns
This song is a declaration of the otherness of God. It speaks of his awesomeness, using the last two verses of Jude. It also talks about our standing before Him, how he has forgiven us and brought us into adoption, and how he has given us a future hope. I often use it as one of the first couple of songs when leading a congregation in worship because it helps us to fix our eyes on God and put Him in His rightful, authoritative, place.

Praise Awaits You
Jon Cairns
I'm part of a worship songwriting group, the Resound 12 Song Challenge, which encourages songwriters to write a song each month. This came out of a challenge from March of 2023, whose theme was to write a song based on one of the more unusual Psalms. Psalm 65 jumped out to me, and this was the result. It's a simple song of declaration and an invitation to worship, so it works well as an opening song in a worship set.

We Crown You
Jon Cairns
I think it's such a powerful thing to declare Jesus as king - we join with all of heaven when we do so. This song is about turning from our sin and idols, and placing the crown on Jesus' head. It works well as a response song, and fits particularly well during communion.

Image of the Invisible God
Jon Cairns
This song is almost literally word-for-word from Colossians 1:15-20 (ESV), which is about the supremacy of Christ. I wrote this song as part of the 12 Song Challenge, where the theme for the month was writing songs using word-for-word portions of scripture.

Jesus, You Are
Jon Cairns
I love fast songs that have substance, so that was my aim in writing this song. It speaks about the different aspects of Jesus, from creation of the world to dying on a cross, from his unknowableness to his intimate love for us. Works well as a song to wake a congregation :)

I Am Yours
Jay Patel
This is a great song to sing as a congregation. A declaration of who we are in Christ and a real celebration. I imagined a parade processing down a street with banners and loud shouts of praise. Works well with just guitar and vocal too.

In Your Glory
Ken Spence
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.
