One of our songs called ‘Lord, there’s none like you’ has just been chosen as the song of the week by Kingsway. They have a feature on their homepage for the next week, so visit www.kingsway.co.uk and you can download the sheet music for free as well as one of the tracks from our new EP.

The recording they have used is from our EP called Heaven Sings which is a beautiful version of the song with Jennie singing all the vocals and Ben Trigg playing keys. There are some viola sounds from Amy Hosken too which really add to the track.

I have been asked by many people about our new EP, wanting to find out the heart behind the recording and the reason we chose the arrangements that are on it. The simple truth is that this EP is primarily about the lyrics. Sometimes we record worship songs with huge or predictable arrangements, but we wanted something that held back musically and allowed the words of the songs to breathe. This meant that when we did open up and allow the music to build it really meant something and felt like it had a purpose.

Carey Willetts, (from Athlete and Boxes) did an amazing job and was a complete joy to work with. He not only understood what we were trying to achieve musically, but is a real worshipper and so knew how to record worship music in a fresh way. Will look forward to working with him again in the future!

Thanks to all of you who have emailed to let us know how the Lord has used the EP in your life. It’s such a privilege to hear the encouragements!

Kingsway recently released their brand new songs of fellowship book containing many of the latest songs from worship song writers around the world. I’m delighted that they included 6 of our songs in the book, and hope they get some use from churches who purchase the book.

On the way to Crewkerne last weekend for the worship weekend there was a beautiful sunset, so I stopped at Stonehenge and took some pictures. Here’s one of my favourites:

Skyline

Amazing skyline in the dim light. Using a 30 second exposure really opens up some interesting photo opportunities.

Night light

Have been enjoying some night photography, trying to capture the effects of faded light in dark countryside spaces. This picture really spoke to me with the tree shrouded in a dim light of the distant city.

Heading away from the Ichthus prayer day and am now travelling down to Somerset to share with a worship team in Crewkerne. I love these evenings as it gives the chance to fellowship and impart something to the team on a more informal basis, before ministering at their church on Sunday morning.

At Ichthus we’ve just finished the third week of the new Prayer Community and it’s been an amazing three weeks. Hours of worship and prayer each week can already be felt when we meet for other meetings. It feels like its getting easier to enter the presence of God, or at least become aware of it. It’s the great benefit of long periods of worship as even though at the time you don’t always find it easy to keep, there’s a deeper sense of Jesus in everything else thereafter. Hard to explain unless you give it a go….definitely recommend long worship sessions!

We’re now mixing the new EP. Here’s a short clip of the Behold the Lamb mix…hope to get this all finished in a few weeks and have the CD out this year…
