I’m thirsty, hungry, desperate and only God can quench my desire. This sums up me and this song

Onward Christian Soldiers
This is a revision of the old hymn Onward Christian Soldiers. We were asked to lead worship at Kids Camp and the camp was about being in God’s army. Simon thought it would be great to use this song, but rework it so the kids could relate to it. It worked really well for the… Continue reading Onward Christian Soldiers
Mercy
I was playing around on electric and came up with this riff. This is the stripped down acoustic version though. Bits of Psalm 145 fitted nicely into the expression of my heart cry. May do this electric at the next rumours night.
Scooping fun
Well, this is the first song of Ian’s on the site…… they don’t let me out much. Sometimes I find a quiet moment and this song is the kind of thing that can happen. So, we were away in Auckland and I had our little mac and Garage band and my Godin and some time… Continue reading Scooping fun
You alone – studio version
This is the studio version of You Alone. Ian is on electric and acoustic guitar, Simon on bass and Tanya (me) on keys, vocals and drums (I always wanted to be a drummer and play in time), compliments of Garage Band. I started recording it some time back and just needed the guits and bass… Continue reading You alone – studio version
You Alone
This a song I wrote a while ago and finally got to do a live recording at a worship session at a family camp. It was quite a different setup to what we initially thought but nevertheless the band was involved and that was the first public airing of this particular song. The band playing… Continue reading You Alone
Be Still And Know – studio version
An original song recorded on Ian’s Mac in his lounge. We had fun with the weird effects. Simon is singing and playing acoustic. No overdubs just playing to a loop. Simon couldn’t play to the metronome
Jesus You are Love
Listening to a Santana riff one day, I started to write about my obsession, “Jesus”. The rest is history…… Bob is on bass. Ian is on guitar playing lead. Simon is vocals and autowah rhythm. Tanya is BGV’s. Hey wait for the ebow at the end. Again Ian the legend is on to it!
The Pursuit
This song was written by Simon Atherfold, Gareth Morton and Bob Morton several years ago while worshiping together. Gareth had this weird Em Dm thing happening and that’s how it began. It was recorded at our “Rumours of worship” in August 2010. Tanya plays keys on it and sings backup – the rest is Simon.… Continue reading The Pursuit
Psalm 27
Simon felt that we should sing Psalm 27 during this time of worship, so he had prepped Cheryl to be ready to read it at some stage. When the moment came, he gave her the nod and then worked on some chords. Once he had a groove going, he asked her to start reading and… Continue reading Psalm 27
