I have lived over 50 years. Some of them happily.

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.

A song accessible to all ages to celebrate the biblical story of creation.
A song for those Christians who always feel like they're looking over their shoulders waiting for their past to catch up with them.
John Grummitt, Mary Elizabeth Byrne, Eleanor Henrietta Hull
I was singing this hymn devotionally one day when I simply carried on into a chorus because I felt a need to follow up a devotional verse with a chorus that committed me to practical application. I went with it, and this is what I came up with. I subsequently used it at church the following Sunday and it went down very well. Now I just need Chris Tomlin to cover it, and I can retire. In the meantime, you could use it!
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.
Our resurrection is quite rightly eclipsed by the great and utterly astonishing fact that the Son of God was first raised from the dead. Because so much time and energy is put into focussing on Jesus, “the first-born from the dead”, in gathered worship, very little if any is given over to celebrating the wonder of the implications of that resurrection for our very own.
I wanted to write something that was simple, but not simplistic; something that would at once be accessible but also attempt to plumb the immense depths of the truths found in 1 Corinthians 15 about our future hope.
This was written as part of Resound Worship’s 12 Song Challenge in September 2022 when the monthly theme was Songs of Christian Hope.
