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

Slow Down (Acoustic)

One Day is a song about waiting for Christ’s return and the longing for eternity that I believe is in every human heart. As Philippians 3 says: “our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the Lord Jesus Christ”. This is a song for those eagerly awaiting.

One Day

Always Will Be

Living Water

Be Like You

Be Like You (feat. Darla Baltazar)

Lord You are patient and kind
Like winter then summer in time
Thorns that were intertwined
Soon whither and unwind

Merciful, tender and wild
You help me remain like a child
Innocent, open-eyed
In wonder mystified

And I
Hold on to you
Magnificent one
Faithful and true

Father you dance like the wind
Untethered you sing and you spin
Yours is a lofty love
A banner over us

Lord you are patient & kind
A friend to the shamed and despised
Yours is a lowly love
To make your home with us

Patient & Kind

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

What A Friend I've Found

A song I wrote from Psalm 139. Also the first track I used my new electric guitar on! Having a lot of fun taking that for a spin.

You See

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

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

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 chilled beat for working / studying / daydreaming to. A lo-fi piano-based hip hop track based on Psalm 36:5.

Lyrics:
Your love reaches to the clouds above.

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

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
And your love flows
Like a fountain
Sweet as honey
Better than wine
I am yours and you are mine

[Bridge: Jonathan Ogden & Kindred Worship]
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

Love That Never Ends

[Verse 1]
I will carry my cross
For all of my days
I have counted the cost
Lord, lead me in your ways
I depend on your love
But sometimes I want to say
"Lord take this cup from me"

[Pre-Chorus]
Still I will praise you
Even if you don't
'Cause where I'm weak
My Father, you are strong

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's the pain that makes me lean on my beloved
Sometimes in the suffering we meet
Sometimes it's my brokenness that keeps me
Kneeling at the foot of the cross
Lord, you're still worthy

[Verse 2]
There is coming a day
When I'll leave this all behind
And we'll see face to face
As you wipe every tear from my eye
And at last I will say
It was worth it all this time
Just to be with you my God

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Still I will praise you
Even in the storm
'Cause where I'm weak
My Father, you are strong
Still I will praise you
Even in the storm
'Cause where I'm weak
My Father, you are strong

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's the pain that makes me lean on my beloved
Sometimes in the suffering we meet
Sometimes it's my brokenness that keeps me
Kneeling at the foot of the cross
Lord, you're still worthy

[Bridge]
Oh your grace is sufficient for me
And your power is made perfect in my weakness
Lord your grace is sufficient for me
And your power is made perfect in my weakness

Oh your grace is sufficient for me
And your power is made perfect in my weakness
Oh your grace is sufficient for me
And your power is made perfect in my weakness
Oh Lord

Sufficient For Me

[Verse]
Holy One
Your love is like a burning fire
So free and so wild
It purifies me

A love so strong
It chases down this heart of mine
No matter how far
I could run for miles and miles

[Chorus]
But there's nowhere to hide and no escape
No matter how far I run away
You still love me

And nothing in life can separate
No depth, no height can change the way
You still love me

[Verse 2]
So how can I respond to such a love divine?
So free and so wild
It cannot repay this love

Though I try
I still fall short a thousand times
But you call me your child
And you keep pouring out your love, oh

[Chorus]
'Cause there's nowhere to hide and no escape
No matter how far I run away
You still love me

And nothing in life can separate
No depth, no height can change the way
You still love me

[Bridge]
There is nowhere I would rather be
Than in your presence, in your presence
Can I just stay here? I never want to leave
When I'm in your presence, in your presence

Oh there is nowhere I would rather be
Than in your presence, in your presence
Can I just stay here? I never want to leave
When I'm in your presence, in your presence

Oh there is nowhere I would rather be
Than in your presence, in your presence
Can I just stay here? I never want to leave
When I'm in your presence, in your presence
When I'm in your presence, in your presence
When I'm in your presence, in your presence

Miles & Miles

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
You're my faithful friend
When I feel like I'm on my own
You remind my heart
It's darkest right before the dawn

[Chorus]
'Cause even in the dead of night
When darkness is on every side
You're telling me to lift my eyes
It's gonna be alright, alright
Suddenly a light will shine
As we're waiting for the morning light
As steady as a new sunrise
It's gonna be alright, alright

[Verse 2]
Yeah it's hard sometimes
But I know how the story ends
Although this night is long
On your faithfulness I can depend

[Chorus]
'Cause even in the dead of night
When darkness is on every side
You're telling me to lift my eyes
It's gonna be alright, alright
Suddenly a light will shine
As we're waiting for the morning light
As steady as a new sunrise
It's gonna be alright, alright

[Tag]
Arise and shine
Arise and shine

Alright
