Written with Lucy Grimble, this song talks about the song sung by the saints throughout all of history, throughout the entire earth, simultaneously in the heavens and the earth, and finally our own personal response.

I'm part of a worship songwriting group, the Resound 12 Song Challenge, which encourages songwriters to write a song each month. This came out of a challenge from March of 2023, whose theme was to write a song based on one of the more unusual Psalms. Psalm 65 jumped out to me, and this was the result. It's a simple song of declaration and an invitation to worship, so it works well as an opening song in a worship set.
A contemporary setting of this famous Psalm of repentance with words by Flora Litt and music by David Kai.
Based on Revelation 5, this is a song about the glory of the Lamb of God and the praise of the elders and angels around the throne.
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 will be different every time and may not always include all the verses above. It is designed to incorporate suggestions from those gathered.
Here are a few ideas that show how you could take the song in different directions:
Let your kingdom come.
Father, hear our prayer.
How I love you, Lord.
Comfort those who mourn.
Based on Psalm 95, Come Let Us Sing is an invitation to praise God, the creator and sustainer of all things.
This song was inspired by the Christ Hymn in Colossians 1 and submitted in the 12 Song Challenge for May's 'Songs of the Bible' challenge. Grateful for the feedback that got it to this stage and to Andy Biggs for producing it.
