Worship Sessions

Twenty Four

Sometimes when I pray or read the Bible I like to have some simple piano music on in the background. And sometimes playing feels like prayer. For this session I sat down with no plan other than to try and still myself before God and play whatever came to mind. I hope it helps you in your own prayer and devotional times! https://youtu.be/WSqXM0MeVsI

A quick acoustic cover of What A Friend I've Found by Martin Smith (Delirious).

What A Friend I've Found

A mashup of Rumble by Skrillex, Fred Again, Four Tet and Flowdan with the music of Animal Crossing. Because it was just necessary.

Be My Peace

Love Is Right Here

Stay With You

I will not fear
The arrows or the night
As thousands fall
To my left and to my right

I will abide, in the safety of your shadow
Under your wings, my heart will find its rest

The wicked fall
And with my eyes I see
But your faithfulness
Will be a shield to me

I have made, my dwelling place in You God
And I'm not afraid, cause I am held by You God

Here in your presence, I find my refuge oh Lord
Here in the secret, I hear you whisper to me
Here in your presence, I find my refuge oh Lord
Here in the secret, I hear you whisper to me

Psalm 91

The title track from my new EP released through bandcamp. Also available on iTunes, Spotify etc. Includes remasters of the songs I've been sharing via soundcloud this year.

By The Streams

A track recorded for The Verses Project, from Psalm 34:9-11.

"Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,
For those who fear him have no lack!
The young lions suffer want and hunger;
But those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
Come, O children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord."

Psalm 34:9-11

Wrote the words from this one from the perspective of the Woman of Samaria at the well in John chapter 4. Musically it's a bit of a jam with weird noises and synths.

I want real love
Something that will satisfy
I've been running
To these wells that just run dry
But You are freedom
You're the truth and You're the life
In all my searching
Only You can satisfy me Lord

I'm learning
I find life when I lay it down
I'm seeing
That real love really can be found

Real Love

Decided to write a Christmas song, based on John chapter 1.

Lyrics:
You were there in the beginning
You will be there in the end
In the dark, a light is s hining
Son of God and son of man

Since we turned and went our own way
It's been a dark, cold, night
But you came just like You promised
And we beheld Your light

When you came down
When you came down
In you my joy and hope is found
You heard my cry and You came down
Emmanuel

You became your own creation
Born that we may never die
And with the sound of angels singing
Glory to the Lord most high

With this plan of reconciliation
Heaven and earth collide
The perfect treasure of the nations
Found in a humble life

You Came Down (Emmanuel)

First single from 'Winter'. I'm aiming to write 4 EPs this year, one for each season.

Lyrics:
Father, You're the author of creation
You're the joy of every nation
There is none like You

Jesus, You display the Father's glory
You're the centre of the story
There is none like You

So I fall down at Your feet
Lost in wonder, worshipping
Praises to the most high king
I give you all of my affection Lord
You're my everything
Jesus, You're my everything
Take all the world just give me Jesus

Messiah, You're the stillness in the wrestling
You're the answer to my questions
I'm in awe of You

Saviour, You gave up your life to save us
Day by day you recreate us
I'm in awe of You

Winter

Lost In Wonder

Track one from my new EP, Winter. The first EP from the Seasons project. This song is called 'Friend'.

Lyrics:
Faithful, You are always faithful
Patient, You are always patient

I have found you in the stillness in the quiet
I have heard you in the fountain and the flood
There is nothing that could every separate me
You have paid for all my sin with your own blood

Holy one, your love is relentless
And your kindness, leads me to repentance

Oh your love is like an all consuming fire
It is passionate and will not be contained
The desire of my heart is just to know you
To behold your perfect beauty all my days

I know, I know
You'll never let me go
Spirit help me reach the end
When I fall, to start again

I know, I know
I'm never on my own
You're my saviour, You're my friend
You are faithful to the end

All my sins
You have covered
You have covered
For me

Oh Your love
Is Like no other
Like no other
Jesus

With You

Here's a track from my Spring EP, a collaboration with my good friend Montell Fish. The EP comes out 5/5/17. 

Lyrics:
Everlasting one
Nothing else compares
To knowing You
To knowing You

You're the living God
And my soul it longs
To be with You
To be with You

Oh Lord Your love is like a waterfall
Your love is like a flowing stream
And whenever I'm feeling dry
I come to the river, I come to the river of life

You are worthy Lord
Of every song that I could sing
That I could sing

And my heart cries out
God I need You more than anything
Than anything

As the deer pants for the water
So my soul longs after You

Waterfall (feat. Lucy Grimble)

Another track from my Summer EP.

Lyrics:
Sovereign Lord 
You're rich in love 
And slow to anger 
When the storm is raging Lord 
You are the anchor 
Even in my weakness God 
You will sustain me 
You are always faithful 

Lord I know you're never gonna leave me 
Even in the valley you are with me 
Forever I will follow where you lead me 
You are always faithful 

You are everything I want 
Everything I want is found in you 
You are everything I want 
Everything I want, Lord 

Saving one 
You know my heart 
You know my weakness 
Still you gave it all for me 
Your love is endless 
There is not another one 
So kind and gracious 
You are always faithful

Everything I Want

Autumn is out! Currently on bandcamp, coming to more digital stores VERY soon. https://jonathanogden.bandcamp.com/album/autumn

Lyrics:
Hear me Oh Lord when I cry aloud 
Be gracious and answer 
You have said 'seek my face' 
And my heart responds 
'Your face I will seek 
Your face I will seek' 

O Lord You are the one thing I desire 
One thing that I long for God, to be with You 
And Lord, You are my light and my salvation 
No reason to be afraid, when I'm with You 

He will hide me in His shelter 
In the day of trouble 
He will lift me high upon a rock 

My head shall be lifted up 
Over my enemies 

And I believe I will see 
The goodness of the Lord 
In the land of the living 

(Wait for the Lord)

Psalm 27

14:00 Shinjuku

Here's a song about patience. I'm not always good with patience. Even the month-long wait from having finished this song to releasing it was a challenge for me! But I'm learning more and more to slow down. I'm usually thinking far in advance and trying to plan out the future, but God's word reminds us to take things day by day. To trust and depend on God, and be ok with not being in control. I remember doing a study last year, looking at 1 Corinthians 13 - "Love is patient, love is kind..." and realising that God IS love, and therefore everything that's true about love is true about God Himself. He is patient, He is kind. And I started to relate that to the way He loves us as individuals. God is patient with me. This truth really hit me.

I think somewhere deep down I felt that God had big plans for my life, and who I was created to be, and that I wasn't measuring up to that. That somehow I'm lagging behind or not fully walking in all that I was made for, and that God was disappointed or frustrated with me. Maybe you've felt the same way. But I came to realise that's a lie. God is patient with us. God is kind to us. He's ok with things taking a long time. He's ok with us not seeing the complete picture yet. He's ok with mistakes and set backs. And in many ways I think God is more concerned with the process than the finished result. We learn in the process. It's the place we draw close to God and learn to depend on Him. The process is where relationship develops. And so, I'm learning to slow down.

Lyrics:
I quiet my soul, cause you're teaching me how to slow down
Surrender it all, let You take control and slow down
I know You're not far away from me, You are so close now
I'm waiting in the stillness, I need to hear Your voice now

And You're telling me:
Quiet, you don't have to be so frightened
About what tomorrow brings
Just keep taking it slow
I will always be close
And I'm never gonna leave you
Promise I'll never forsake you
So don't even worry now
You've just gotta let go of trying to be in control
And slow down
(Slow down)

Love is patient, love is kind
Good things sometimes take some time

And You're telling me:
Quiet, you don't have to be so frightened
About what tomorrow brings
Just keep taking it slow
I will always be close
And I'm never gonna leave you
Promise I'll never forsake you
So don't even worry now
You've just gotta let go of trying to be in control
And slow down
(Slow down)

Slow Down

[Chorus]
Jesus my beloved
I am yours and you are mine
And your love flows
Like a fountain
Sweet as honey
Better than wine

[Verse 1]
In the night
In the darkness
Keep me burning
Keep me burning

In the quiet
In the waiting
Keep me burning
Keep me burning

[Pre-Chorus]
Help me remember all you've done
You're still the one that my heart wants

[Chorus]
Jesus my beloved
I am yours and you are mine
And your love flows
Like a fountain
Sweet as honey
Better than wine

[Verse 2: Kindred Worship]
In the fight
In the kneeling
Keep me burning
Keep me burning

In the doubt
In the questions
Keep me burning
Keep me burning

[Pre-Chorus: Kindred Worship]
Help me to see that you're not done
You're still the one that my heart wants

[Chorus: Jonathan Ogden & Kindred Worship]
Jesus my beloved
I am yours and you are mine

Sweet as honey
Better than wine
I am yours and you are mine

Keep me faithful, keep me true
Bind my heart to only you
Keep me faithful, keep me true
Bind my heart to only you
Keep me faithful, keep me true
Bind my heart to only you
Keep me faithful, keep me true
Bind my heart to only you

Jesus My Beloved (feat. Kindred Worship)

[Verse 1]
When I call
God you hear my cry
And I can walk before you
In the light of life

You don't forget
Every tear I've cried
You remember every prayer I've prayed
Through darkest nights

[Chorus]
You tell me not to worry
You help me understand
My life is held together
Within the Maker's hand

You keep my feet from falling
You save my soul from death
Now I can walk forever
In love that never ends

[Verse 2]
When I'm afraid
I will trust in you
The one who's name is Faithful
And is always true

No one else gives me hope like you
'Cause when you're fighting on my side
How can I ever lose?

[Chorus]
You tell me not to worry
You help me understand
My life is held forever
Within the Saviour's hand

You keep my feet from falling
You save my soul from death
Now I can walk forever
In love that never ends

[Bridge]
No one ever loved me like You do
No one ever loved me like You do

[Chorus]
You tell me not to worry
You help me understand
My life is held forever
Within the Saviour's hand

You keep my feet from falling
You save my soul from death
Now I can walk forever
In love that never ends
