Jesus, Son of David
Richard Stringer, Leke, Ben Trigg
Sometimes, we are a bit slow in asking God what we really want. Not Bartimaeus, he knew exactly what he wanted and shouted it out. I've tried to follow that theme in this song.

Come to me

This is intended to be a big warm hug of a song and inspired by the sound of Pink Floyd's "Us and Them". It has been used in fellowship and worked really well. Come to me and I will give you rest!

In Every Circumstance (Pressing On)
Jay Patel
This is a song about pressing in to God and following even when things get tough. Its a song of determination and faith based around 2 Cor 4:7-9 "7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." and Phil 3: 12-14 "12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

I give it all up to You
Ken Spence
The more I discover about God the more I am amazed by the depth of love and freedom the LORD gives us. I also realise how we carry around a great deal of baggage emanating from what I call ‘bad church’; our received cultural heritage of “what the bible says” rather than a true understanding of what it really does say and mean. This song is about one particular issue that we may carry some hang-ups about - confession. Being brought up as an Ulster protestant it is not surprising that I might see confession as a ritual to keep us feeling bad and fallen and under the thumb of a controlling church, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Confession is a fantastic gift from our loving God who only wants us to be set free. There is nothing we can do that could make God love us less, we just think there is. We carry hurt, self-loathing, all sorts of pain, and Jesus simply says, “Give it to Me, I will take it away and release you from it”. That is what confession is for, to release us. We never have to be ‘good enough’ because Jesus is. Give all the rubbish you carry up to him, He’ll take it all and it is gone. And it isn’t a contractual arrangement where we have to confess it for Christ to take it away. We are forgiven already, the confessing is for us to surrender the hurt, pain, and wrong, so that we can let it go too and be released from it. So whatever it is that you are carrying, give it up to Jesus and just bask in His love.

Goodness Of The Lord
Rebecca Beese, James Martin
We wanted a song that celebrated the goodness of the Lord here and now, but also reflected the fact that it is us as followers of Jesus, with the help of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, that bring that goodness into the places we inhabit each day. Based on Psalm 27
