Remember Us

Another old track

No explicit Christian content. Although influenced by observing breakdown in a Christian marriage.

To Know You

This is a song I've written (wrote?) recently, inspired by a talk on how studying and reflecting on truth about God can move us.

Then it hit me and I started feeling a bit emotional that even before I knew zip about God, he knew me so well, and how he died for me before I was even ‘a twinkle’ in anyone’s eye. I was a twinkle in God’s eye. And that makes me want to know him even more!

Lyrics:
I was known to you
In the secret place
In my mother’s womb
I was held in your gaze

To know you is to love you

Faithful and Strong
Loving and True
Jesus my goal is to know you

Faithful and Strong
Loving and True
Jesus my heart is to know you God

Is to know you God

I was held by you
On the day of pain
When you hung on the cross
There you bore all my shame

To know you is to Love you

(chorus)

Hallelujah, Thankyou Jesus

Artist Stephen Wiltshire draws a spellbinding 18ft picture of New York from memory

This astonishing 18ft drawing of the world’s most famous skyline was created by autistic artist Stephen Wiltshire after he spent just 20 minutes in a helicopter gazing at the panorama.

Garageband demo of a new song-got a bit carried away with adding acoustic guitars!

I had been reading a famous book about the “historical figure of Jesus”-a historian’s point of view about what we can and can’t be certain about regarding the person of Jesus. I just wanted to lay my cards on the table about who Jesus was and is, and sing out nice and loud that he was real man who walked and talked, could be touched, seen, and heard, who could bleed, and who died for real, and rose again for real.

Before the earth’s foundation were laid,
You were the Son of God
Through you all creation has been made
You are the Living Word.
In You all things now hold together,
Sustainer of all life.
You are the heir of all things Jesus,
The first-born from the dead

I believe in One Lord Jesus Christ
I believe He walked the earth and died
To rise again, the promise of new life
Now He is high and lifted up

Eternal Word of God made flesh,
The Father’s love revealed.
You made Your dwelling here with us,
Our God Immanuel.
Emptied Yourself of ev’ry form of kingly majesty,
Humility and love perfected,
Our God the Servant King.

Then as a lamb led to the slaughter,
You bore our punishment.
Without a cry of protestation,
This cruel injustice stood.
Oppressed, afflicted, bore our sorrows,
Our sickness and our grief,
All sin and judgment there exhausted,
Humanity redeemed.

Bridge:
All glory, all honour,
Majesty and praise,
Be unto the Lamb who was slain.
Let all earth, and heaven,
Magnify His name,
For our Lord Jesus lives again.

I directed this music promo about a year ago. I thought it was worth revisiting.

This Vid was a good collaborative effort…

Shot in the church hall amidst building work - the band were super patient as were the builders with playback for the vid happening for 16 plus hours.

Jesus You Are Everything To Me

From The Worship Album "Songs From The Journey"

A few months ago in the sleepy town of Sleaford 200 past, present and future Worship Academy (go to http://www.worship-academy.com/1.html for more details) students joined together for a big reunion celebrating the journey they had all gone on thus far. As part of that celebration a grass routes Live worship album was recorded featuring some very talented up and coming worship leaders. Backed by an amazing band this recording is being very well received through out the UK and beyond. All the money raised from this recording is being put stright back in to The Worship Academy world vision and supporting students in Romania to go through the program. To buy a copy go to www.bridgemusicstore.com.

I’ve had the amazing privilege to be apart of this vision and serve on the leadership team having input in to Academies all over the world. Go to the above web site and see just what God is doing among the nations of the world through Worship. Who knows maybe we could be welcoming you onto the next Worship Academy UK. They honoured me by allowing one of my songs to be featured on this album which is the one I’ve hopefully up loaded successfully. Be blessed Danny

“Hope of the world”/ Becky Green

Full length song

Hi ladies and gents. A Creative Arts Showcase - genius idea. Thanks for letting me being involved. Just wanted to share a track from my wife Becky’s album “All About Everything”. We’re both passionate about God and music… Don’t know how the compressed mp3 will turn out but hopefully you’ll get a taste of her sound. Being thinking about this quote recently:

“Each generation of the church in each setting has the responsibility of communicating the gospel in understandable terms, considering the language and thought-forms of that setting”
Francis Schaeffer

What is Real?

A video from a mini lounge-gig, of a song I wrote expressing some of my frustration about things in the world

The verses of this song I wrote on scraps of paper here and there over a few weeks, and didn’t actually match them up together, unti one day I wrote that chorus and then dug out those lyrics from the songwriting box next to my fridge, and realised they fitted together! I am a Christian and believe the God created this world beautifully, and intended that we live in it in freedom, with justice and equality. Sadly and awfully, sin entered the world and due to our sin and selfish thoughts and acts, I now look round and get so gutted about the way things are, across the world, down the street, and in my heart. My view is that we cannot and must not sit back. I do sometimes (actually if I’m honest, really often!) feel like i don’t know what we can do about it- as the chorus states- yet, I also am an absolute unbeliever in hopelessness. With Jesus, hopelessness is a fallacy and I know that He has the power and compassion to set us free- individuals and nations. I see transformation, in the office, in my heart, and I believe that one day we will have full restoration to the way things were intended to be. With this song I am hoping that it will resonate not just wih other followers of Jesus but also with non-belivers who feel similarly, and then that they will see the heart behind it and be directed to the Prince of Peace who rules.
