Hey, sorry I haven’t blogged for a few weeks. I’m not such an amazing multi-tasker and I’m doing a bit more song-writing these days, which takes up all my ‘writing’ time… but I have been drafting some thoughts on worship – so I’ll be up soon…
In the meantime, in response to some of the feedback [...]

Many years ago at a conference I was at, Matt Redman shared the testimony of how he came about writing the song ‘The heart of worship’. I loved the story then and I love it now. It came up in a conversation a few weeks ago and I was surprised that no one present knew [...]

[MSG]I’ve thrown myself headlong into your [...]

Last year I heard the song Everlasting God at church and it immediately captured me. It’s one of those songs that demands an immediate response in worship.

Have you ever heard the expression “never judge a book by it’s cover”? Yeah, well, I think I really understand the meaning of that. This might sound strange but it feels like I’m growing up. Funny how ‘maturing’ doesn’t necessarily happen with age (maybe more sad than funny!), but I’m seeing things a lot differently [...]
