Rumours of Worship – 2 October 2010

The sense of the night was of the need to be planted by the streams of living water so that we would be unmovable and unshakable. Below are the ideas that people put onto the whiteboard during the evening’s worship. The songs of the night were: Refuge in you, History maker, Revelation song, Wide, Salvation… Continue reading Rumours of Worship – 2 October 2010

Rumours of Worship – 18 December 2010

The evening seemed to be about God’s faithfulness to us as well as the shaking that is going on in the land. We had sense of God’s justice and mercy. It seemed to be about the younger generation standing (several of our young people played significant roles in this session). Towards the end of our… Continue reading Rumours of Worship – 18 December 2010

Amazing Love

This is a rewrite of a song that Simon wrote in Waihi some time back. It was recorded at our November 2010 Rumours of Worship. It was a hard time of worship – it felt like we were fighting for a breakthrough for the nation. We had Simon’s dad and his wife Jenny join us… Continue reading Amazing Love

More Of You

This song written in Waihi, still expresses the greater part of why I live. To taste and see that He is good is what life is all about.  Recorded at a Rumours session where no one but I knew that song. Mark on Bass, Dan the Man on drums, Ian on guitar and Andrew B… Continue reading More Of You

Praise Awaits

This is from our “Rumours of worship” time in August 2010. It’s a song that Simon felt we should sing after “How great is our God” and before “Dwell” – both not original – so we are not putting them on the site (yet). The “Psalm” that Simon and Cheryl did was a bit later… Continue reading Praise Awaits

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

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
