I wrote this song a few years ago when I was learning about my identity in Christ as well as at the time, really feeling like I was struggling to hear from Him. I wanted to convey a message of it doesn't matter what's happening around us, that God is for us and He loves us in and through our circumstances.
This song was written out of a desire to honour God with our praise and worship but, not in a big loud way, which is unusual for me because I love songs that are big and loud and have a driving beat, but in a more reverent and thoughtful way. I tried to be as careful and thoughtful with the lyrics as I could whilst also maintaining a rhyming scheme and a singable melody.
A fun family song to help memorise the names of the twelve disciples and a little bit more besides.
The song that took the 2023 Resound Worship song-writing retreat by storm. You may listen and ask why.
A song on the struggle with perfectionism while trying to follow Jesus.
Based on verses from the Holy Bible:
“Whoever goes to the Lord for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty can say to Him, You are my defender and protector, You are my God; in You I trust”.
(Psalm 91:1-2 GNT)
“…there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord”. (Romans 8:39 GNT)
A joyous celebration of God's unfailing love for us, as written in Romans 8
Written at the Resound Worship Songwriting Retreat 2024. My aim with this song was to attempt to describe the might, power and majesty of God without making it about our experience or perception of Him. So often our songs define His value through what we see of Him, or how we have experienced Him. He's worthy of praise simply because He's worthy of praise.
