Everyone Gets to Play
The great lake seem to inspire themes of Gods’s unending Love and faithfulness. One day coming out of the full immersion of that lake, I felt inspired with these words and melody. Who played what etc: This was recorded at a Rumours of Worship session on the 18 December 2010. Simon sang and played his… Continue reading Faithful
This is the live version of Calling. The song expresses the thought of Jesus calling us to Himself. The other thought expressed is one of falling into Jesus. When we let go of everything we hold onto, that we think makes us who we are, then we will find ourselves in the arms of Jesus… Continue reading Calling – live version
I wrote this song some time ago but had never really finished writing it. As we started doing the rumours events, I thought I would finish it off and use it in our worship, which happened during the November rumours event. It is a simple song about God’s faithfulness, grace and love which He gives… Continue reading Time and time again
a more laid back version of this song. I enjoyed worshipping in this setting. Just facing the wall and seeking His face.
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

This songs about the most important choice we make every day, even when there are aspects of life that can’t be chosen we can ‘choose life itself’. Cheryl and I went to see someone… Continue reading Choose Life
So…. what does ‘you’re my everything mean’? Different things to different people for sure, this songs about ‘everything’ being ‘wholehearted’, its a live track in a camp setting with some tricky technical & equipment challenges, we went for it anyway in the spirit of wholeheartedness. The whole bands in on this one, Ian, Tanya, Carl,… Continue reading You’re My Everything
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
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
