Song of Hannah: a Hymn of Hope and Resistance

What We Can Do
Andy Biggs, Catharine Revill, Tom Kelleher
We are rightly taught that it is only by grace that we are saved. But it can be easy to get into wrong thinking about what we can do, and feel inadequate because of what we don’t do, or don’t have the ability to so. This is a song to sing together as a congregation or in personal worship, to remind ourselves that whatever our abilities or frailties are, we can come accepted and worship Him, knowing that his grace will supply what we need as part of the body of Christ. We are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”, often with “weirdly hewn” characteristics that God designed for His glory!

Kids' Creed
John Grummitt, Sue Crossman
Resound Worship’s 12 Song Challenge this month was to take inspiration from the great creeds of the church. I was at the annual Resound Worship Songwriters’ Retreat at Wydale Hall in Yorkshire, UK so had plenty of time to reflection, and I took inspiration from the Nicene Creed. Pairing up with the very talented Sue Crossman of Hopestream Worship, we came up with this. Each verse focusses on expanding, in language simple enough for children, each person of the Trinity. Since writing it, we’ve used it regularly in our Sunday School and family services and it’s a hit with young and old alike.

O faithful Lord [Live]
Resound Worship, Mark Bradford
This song draws its origins from the time of the illness and death of my Dad. Singing and making music before the Lord became a particularly important expression of worship for me at a time when I was largely unable to process exactly how I was feeling. And yet there were very few songs that resounded with how I was feeling; often it wasn’t the lyrics that were the problem, but the tone or mood of the song that just didn’t resonate. While sitting at the piano with these kinds of thoughts in mind one day, this song began to emerge. It sought to express a confidence in God, albeit a confidence expressed in brokenness rather than in triumph; yet a confidence determinedly holding on to the promises of God - not least the ultimate promise that, one day, God will make all things new. The second, third and fourth verses were written first, and came together relatively straightforwardly - though with lots of tinkering on the way. The first verse was the struggle, and the writing of it encapsulated the move I had to make from seeing it as ‘my song’, coming out of my particular experience, to one that, hopefully, can be sung by others within their own contexts of brokenness - past, present or future.
