pray

On Friday night 20 of us gathered together in a friend's living room to pray and worship together for a couple of hours. We also stuck a mic in the middle of the room and did a pretty raw recording, here's a few snippets from a very special evening, and hopefully the first of many! 

R&R living room worship - April 2014

Here is the first track from our new album "All Things New". We've been playing this song for over a year so it's great to finally be able to share it! And we're looking forward to releasing the rest sometime soon!

We Have Overcome

Here's a song we did for The Verses Project (http://theversesproject.com) as part of their "Memorise Psalm 139" series, with some great artwork by Lauren Miller.

The project has different artists writing songs that are word for word Bible verses, along with designs by some great designers which help people memorise scripture.

"My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance;in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them."

Psalm 139:15-16

Rivers & Robots is an indie worship project from Manchester, UK. Originally started as a solo project in 2010, Rivers & Robots has since expanded to a band in 2012. We love Jesus and we love to worship through song, music, creativity and art. We aim to create songs that express and declare who God is, both lyrically and through music and creativity. These usually come in the form of indie, folk and electronic songs.

We’re a small part of a global worship movement being raised up right now, singing a new song (Isaiah 42:10) and preparing the way (Isaiah 40:3-5) for the return of Jesus. Aiming to glorify Him and declare His glory (Psalm 96), and to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength (Luke 10:27). We’re also quite partial to a bit of tea and cake.

Rivers & Robots is Jonathan Ogden (vocals, keyboards, samples/loops), David Hailes (guitar, ukelele, vocals), Nathan Stirling (bass, guitar, percussion, vocals) and Kelani Koyejo (drums, vocals). We currently have two albums out, with a new one coming early 2014. If you’re interested in booking us, or just want to say hello, send us an email at riversandrobots@gmail.com and we’ll get back to you!

Shepherd Of My Soul

Voice That Stills The Raging Sea

09. Rivers & Robots - Shepherd Of My Soul (Mixed And Mastered By Dan Stirling)

"Wait For You" is the first single from our new album, The Eternal Son. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
"How long now, until You come
Until we see You, as the Eternal Son
Just like the evening for the morning sun
We wait for You

There will be a day when we are one
Together in a city made of pure gold
And we will be forever in Your love
I just want to be with You my God
I just want to be with You forever
In the glory and the beauty of Your love

I know God, You will surely come
You have promised, and You’re the faithful one
So hear the Spirit and the bride say “come”
We wait for You

Then when You come,
The Bridegroom and bride will be one
There’ll be no need for the sun
‘Cause You will be the light
Then when we meet
There’ll be the greatest of feasts
Your face I will finally see
As You wipe the tears from my eyes."

Wait For You

The title track from our 2016 album, The Eternal Son. Featuring our friend Dan White on saxophone, and group vocals from our friends and family!

Lyrics:
This life is just a fleeting shadow 
I realise that life is found in You alone 

Until my heart has found its home 
With all the saints before Your throne 
I’ll live my life for You alone 
‘Cause You call me Your own 

You shine brighter than the brightest sun 
Your light endures when all is said and done 

You’re the lion, You’re the lamb 
The first and last, The Great I Am 
The Son of God, the Son of Man 
With wounds in Your hands 

Forever, oh Lord, You will be the Eternal Son

The Eternal Son

Fountains

The Bridegroom

The King

The Judge

More Than Enough
