From a star in the sky to a shepherd in the field, the Christmas story is defined by choices. 'A Night Just Like This' invites you to look beyond the manger scene and make a choice of your own. Will you see Him only as a baby, or will you choose to accept Him as the King who gave His life for you?

"Emmanuel" isn't just for Christmas. We often use this name for God when referring to Jesus being born as a man on Earth, hence why it's more commonly used in the run-up to Christmas. But God has always been with us, and will continue to be with us by His Spirit.
My wife and I wrote this song as part of the 12 Song Challenge for 2024.
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.
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 :)
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.
A song based on Acts 4, where Peter says the words "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." The whole song is written around salvation being found in Jesus alone.
I started writing it as part of the 12 Song Challenge in 2024, where the theme was "Acts songs", i.e. a song based on a part of the book of Acts.
The recording was created (mostly) live, with only the lead guitar part being recorded separately.
The resurrection in simple language based on the account of John's gospel - an all-age worship song for churches. Vocals by Sue Crossman of Hopestream Worship.

Reading the story of the Prodigal Son, I was struck by how the father hugged his son and gave him a coat, a robe. He restored his status, clothed him. Suddenly I was reminded of the soldiers who took away the robe of Jesus, God’s Son, when He was crucified. They cast lots to decide whose it would be. Jesus laid down His robe, His authority, His dignity, His status, for me to be clothed with garments of salvation and wrapped in a robe of righteousness (Isaiah 61:10). I was so amazed that I wrote this song.
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.
