After 10 years we are still discovering new ways of writing together as a group and writing 'Bringer of the Kingdom' was no exception. Jo shared her verse and chorus ideas with us and it quickly became apparent that the chorus, with its poignant melodic and harmonic ideas, was strong enough as a standalone song.
Now all we needed to do was to find lyrics to express the magnificent and profound characteristics of the Holy Spirit in a four line melody (!) but we thank God for how the song came together remarkably quickly in one group writing session as we explored truth found in Romans, Corinthians, Luke and of course Acts.
We pray that these sung petitions and declarations capture our longing for the transforming power of the Holy Spirit to make the Kingdom of God even more evident in and through our lives.
Have your say here and join the conversation.
