Do you care (Will you come)
David Brackenbury
This song was written in response to the increasing spread of violence and hatred that seems prominent in society. Picking up on theme of oppression, racism, persecution and hatred that seems to be a feature in every news programme, newspaper cover and dominates most of social media. In a world where people are pushed down and made to feel less than - this is a lament to God to move and act.

A Time For Everything
Andy Biggs, Tom Kelleher, Catharine Revill
"A Time For Everything" was written in 2024 during the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge Month where we were encouraged to write "a song for someone" - A song which someone in my church congregation could sing with real relevance, but where it could also be sung by everyone. At the time, we has a family whose teenage daughter was suffering from unexplained seizures and swelling on the brain. She was in the intensive care ward of the specialist hospital, with the doctors a bit baffled by the cause and the necessary treatments. Her parents testified about how they were hanging on to faith through the circumstances, despite there not being a clear end in sight. This song was written for them to sing. Thankfully she's on the mend now and back at school, after great medical care and a bit of a miraculous recovery. It's my hope that this is a song you can sing, either because you're going through troubled times, or because you're standing alongside someone who is.

Here I Am
Ineke Marsman-Polhuijs, Henk Pool
'Mary chose what is better,' Jesus said. She sat at His feet and listened. I want to be like that. But I can’t. I tried and tried, but just don't seem to be able to sit down and stay there. I wrestle with that. But I found out that I might not be able to sit down and listen the way Mary did, but I can at least give what I have, even if it is only a minute of focussed attention. And I can ask God to help me to listen longer and better.

The Gathering
Mike Jariyaphruttipong, Isaac Hughes
"The Gathering" was written as a response to a National Level Christian Youth Camp in 2023 called "Xtreme Camp" in Northern Thailand. Where we saw over 2000 young people from almost every province in Thailand come together to worship, seek and pray for Revival for our nation. Since then, there has been more such gatherings that have continued to impact lives in incredibles ways and therefore, our nation of Thailand.

Pour Out Your Spirit
Rebecca Beese
I’ve always found it remarkable that on the night of Jesus’ arrest Peter was so afraid that he denied Jesus in the dark of night to a servant girl, and yet just a few chapters later he was standing in an open market place in the bright light of day declaring the gospel to all who would listen. This dramatic transformation can only be down to the work of the Holy Spirit. And that same spirit is at work in us today. Based on Acts 2 and the passage Peter reads from Joel, it’s a call for the same empowerment and release for us.

Breath Of Heaven
Rebecca Beese
Many of the songs we sing about the Holy Spirit are based around how we feel, or what we want to experience. This song is about who the Holy Spirit is and what we're wanting to see the Holy Spirit do in our lives and in the wider communities we're living in. It's missional at heart, asking the Holy Spirit to fill us to empower us to go out into the world, enable us to share the love of God and draw people to Him.

We Are the People of God
Andy Biggs, Catharine Revill, Tom Kelleher
Written as part of the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge to craft a ‘Community song’ – where the focus is on gathered singing rather than a complex musical arrangement. The chorus has multiple parts that can be sung by different sections of a gathered congregation to each other (and all at the same time!). The verses recognise the diversity that exists in the body of Christ and encompasses elements of the mission statement of Emmanuel Church Durham – “to be a growing, charismatic family church with a world vision”
