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.
Written with congregational singing in mind, Psalm 23 has been moved from an individual perspective to a group one so we can sing the truth of these beautiful and ancient words together.
A song of trust and devotion based on Psalm 63
This song started with a challenge: 'write a song about rest'. I was just reading Psalm 34 that week: Taste. See. Pondering on what that might mean, I realised that to really taste or see, I needed to pause, to rest, so I could focus on what my senses noticed. I decided to write about this Psalm and working on it, I found out it ministered to me. The song kept coming back when facing a small surgery I was really afraid of. I listened to the song over and over again and also sang it to others. It is the opening song of my first album as I hope my songs will help others to taste and see that the Lord is good.
Based on Psalm 27, this is an unapologetic declaration of where we're putting our hope. Written to build faith when facing adversary, this song causes courage to rise as we seek the presence of the Lord and to fix our eyes on Him rather than the trouble around us.

Inspired by Psalms 23, He leads us to green pastures and streams of water, resting with Him, laying down our burdens before Him, and being picked up by Jesus once again. This is a soft and gentle song, a personal and encouraging song.
A responsorial setting of Psalm 118:14-17, 22-24, the psalm read at Easter in the Anglican church.

This was a 12 song challenge to write a song based on one of the Psalms. I decided to start at the beginning of the book of Psalms and choose the first one that seemed to appeal to me and which I hadn't used before. I settled for Psalm 15 which clearly defines what a believer should be like and it beautifully mirrors what Jesus taught which is rather prescient to current events in the evangelical church.
