Theme / Death - Unified Praise

New Jerusalem

John Grummitt

I wrote this while sitting on the shores of Lake Malawi back in 1991. It was originally released on my first album Going Home in 1993 on cassette. That recording has not aged well so, when an old friend asked if she could use the original version in a prayer meeting online, I did a quick guitar/vocal demo and then threw it into Suno to produce this version. When I have time, I'd like to go back and produce it myself. But that's for another day.

Emmanuel

Jon Cairns, Joy Cairns

"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.

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.

Nothing Can Separate

Jon Cairns

I do write slow songs, but the fast ones keep breaking through. This song is based on my favourite chapter of the Bible, Romans 8. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, and nothing now can separate us from His love.

Miracle Maker

Jon Cairns

This song is both a declaration and retelling of some of Jesus's miracles and healings, and also a prayer for Him to come and do the same today. It was written as part of 2024's 12 Song Challenge.

Come, Lord Jesus, Come

Rebecca Beese

I've always loved the carol 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel' but there was a lot in there that I never really understood until adulthood. After following the United Adoration creative Advent guide I was inspired to rewrite it keeping in mind young people, teenagers and those who might be coming to Christmas services as guests. I've aimed to keep the message, story and vibe of the song whilst making it a little easier for people who aren't familiar with the language and history to understand and connect with God through it, touch on things relevant to today and leave enough room for questions to arise. I'm very thankful to the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge community who helped me shape and finish this song.

Into the Light

John Grummitt

A song for those Christians who always feel like they're looking over their shoulders waiting for their past to catch up with them.

In Christ and Christ Alone

Jon Cairns

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.
