Stuck in the house this week (yes, Covid has finally caught up with me; thankfully it seems mild so far), I’ve been so blessed by this new song from Brooke Ligertwood.

Not sure I’ve enjoyed a new Christmas song so much since I first heard that Wesley boy bashing out Hark the Herald on his portable pipe organ. Only joking, not that old really!

Great new song from Hillsong Young and Free, written by Matt Crocker, Aodhan King, and Ben Tan. Despite not being all that young, I love this! It is Jesus-centred, Holy Spirit-inspired, and ends with a heartfelt cry for God to send revival. It confidently exalts Jesus as “my everything”, reminds… Continue Reading Lord Send Revival
