Songs of Solace & Hope
The challenge for April, behind closed doors during the Covid-19 epidemic, we’re encouraging you to write songs that address today's concerns, both by speaking to fear and despair and by fixing our eyes on a greater truth.
Suggestions:
Don’t minimise the reality of the situation, at the same time hold on to the truth of God now and yet to come.
Ask yourself: what is my hope?
Write about what we wait for, but don’t yet have.
Write about the resurrection of the body and the hope of the world to come.
Write a song addressing fear Write a song about the security found in knowing God’s character
Write a song as if in God’s voice
Write about displacement or unusual circumstances (eg Psalm 137)
Write a song that is designed for online gathered worship
Look for Biblical passages or words of either solace or hope (or both!)
Featured Song: Oh Sisters And Brothers by Joel Payne
