A song I've been sitting on for over a year. Just a quick acoustic recording on my phone - enjoy!

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Into the darkness you came
A planet full of sin and shame
The world you made had gone and lost its way
Sending the light of your Son
Who walked the earth, through his death he won
A victory to set us free that will not fade away

Chorus
This is how we know what love is
Jesus you laid down your life for us, upon that cross
Now we stand upon the rock and
We set our lives on your unfailing love
Oh the joy!
We have been saved by you

Verse 2
Standing before the throne
In righteousness through your grace alone
Only you are strong enough to save
In the Spirit’s power we run
To tell the world of all you’ve done
We have a hope that will endure, will go beyond the grave

Bridge
Separated from my shame
Liberated from my chains
I was an orphan, now an heir

All I need I find in Christ
I am His and He is mine
Jesus, you’ve won me by your love

Saved By You

A song I wrote one morning inspired by Peter's stepping in to walking with Jesus from the boat and based upon the feelings we all have in our walks with God, where we've got so far and there's more to go. But what if something goes wrong?

Stepping In

Surely I should be further ahead in my walk with God? And not still making similar mistakes? This is what I said to God and this song is based upon a word gave me in response when I felt frustrated in my current circumstances.

Little Sapling

A song I wrote after a really dark time where I had slipped into depression and kind of inspired by the famous poem Footprints. The first two verses reflected where I was at when it was at its worst and the chorus was the truth I clung to from Psalm 23. The final verses and bridge were written as I was coming out of it, reflecting the renewed faith you feel when God pulls you through!

You carried me home

You Carried Me Home

A song I started writing years ago. Dusted it off and had another crack at it. It's inspired by Sam Smith's Money on my Mind but the lyrics reflect the journey to finding ourselves in the arms of the Father.

Arms of Love

Arms Of Love

Full lyrics:

My God is good to me x3
It's well within my soul
My God is good to me x3
His love has won my soul

Great is my joy in all you've done for me
I once was dead in sin, now I'm alive in you
I cannot stay silent; I cannot be reserved
In you my soul is well now and forevermore

The favour of the Lord knows no end
And his love will run on and on and on and on

In you I'm not afraid, your mercy's new each day
'How good is my God!' is all that I can say

My God is good to me

I wrote the lyrics when I was 15/16. I updated them when I was 18. Today aged 20, I put it to music when I stumbled across them again. It's a very, very simple song but it echoes what I've prayed many times at different points since I was 15.

Lead me

Inspired by Psalm 71.

Verse 1:
In you Lord I’ve taken refuge
For you are strong, and you endure
You inclined and heard my cry
You rescued and restored my life

Pre-Chorus 1:
And you call me son,
And you call me friend
All you say is true
I trust in you

Chorus:
You are my refuge
You are my rock and my defence
Your faithfulness reaches the skies
You’re my salvation
You are my hope in the storm
All my days, I will sing
You’re faithful, God

Verse 2:
In every passing age you remain
You never change, you never fade
Your love for me never runs dry
It overflows for all of time

Pre-Chorus 2:
You are good
You are so kind
Your promises
Always prove true
