I am trying to write songs for churches aiming at a contemporary style, looking for biblical theology that is relevant to newcomers as well as regular churchgoers, but with an emphasis on discipleship. The underlying message is that we as the body of Christ carry on the mission of Jesus, participating in the reconciliation of all things and that as individuals we are saved into God’s plan for our lives (Ephesians 2: 10).
Some are finished and others are works in progress. I would be rapt if anyone wanted to use these in churches or groups – but please let me know. I would love to hear how they go.
If you are interested in other songs I have written, have a look at my Songs Archive.

Citizens of Heaven
Citizens of Heaven is a worship song with groove.
