This collection of songs is for use in collective worship. Some have audio, lead sheets, chord charts and scores. 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.
Mary’s Song (known as the Magnificat) is from Luke 1: 46-55. For Advent and Christmas.

It has been used in a Pop Up Choir in the community during Advent alongside more traditional carols and has been well received.
The Way by Grace
This is a reflection on Ephesians 2:8-9 and Ephesians 2:10 which is, too often, overlooked. Verse 10 reminds us that we are saved by grace into a God-given life of good works. Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; […]
