This song was written some time back, but I never had the chance to do it with more than just Ian and I. When we had the opportunity to do it at the Variety Bash on the Taupo Domain, we decided to throw in some original songs with the covers we were doing. So….finally a… Continue reading Faith like a Child (Faith, hope and love) – at the Variety Bash

This song was written for Bethany and was sung only for the second time in public at this event (the Variety Bash). Ian and I had performed it the week before at an arts event at the theatre the week before.

I started meandering along with this piece back in 2010. I laid down the main structure of the song all in one sitting pretty much. I hadn’t intended to even write a song as I recall, but it is amazing what comes out of a person when you sit down and pour out your heart.… Continue reading Running Free

The piece starts off with Cheryl praying a pray about us being committed to God and his ways. We end up digging… Continue reading Holy Jam
At this stage we called our gathering The Audience of One.

We loved the idea and wanted to be a part of something like that at some… Continue reading Rumours of Worship – 6 October 2007

Below are the ideas that people put onto the whiteboard during the evening’s worship. We ended up playing: Holy, holy, Did you feel, You will remain, How great… Continue reading Rumours of Worship – 14 August 2010
This evening seemed to us to be about freedom for our sons and daughters. Below are the ideas that people put onto the whiteboard during the evening’s worship.

We were really impacted at the Intimacy in Worship Conference in Te Aroha in April of this year. We had a sense of the importance of worshiping over the nation and interceding on New Zealand’s behalf. Some of the songs we ended up doing were: Hosanna, Blessed be your name, Mercy saves me, Above all… Continue reading Rumours of Worship – 29 May 2010
