Songs reflecting the good and bad times and the call to still praise and worship the Creator are tough songs to write, but relieving songs to sing. They’re tough to write, because the cost of going through the experiences you write about are necessarily tough. Going through them, though, and seeing God’s faithfulness even in […]
Read More Blessed Be Your Name – LCGC Featuring Matt RedmanEvery good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. (James 1:17) I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, that growing up we as a family never bought into the whole ‘special days of celebration’ deal other than for […]

Read More Gratitude – Being ExtraI remember from a very early age singing a hymn called Count Your Blessings. Looking back the lyrics are fairly basic and simple – count your blessings, name them one by one, count your many blessings, see what God has done. As ever with the hymns that are sung time and time again from childhood […]
