If you’re a fan of what we do, would you consider supporting us with a one-off or regular gift?
Resound Worship is a ministry of the Song and Hymn Writers Foundation, a charity dedicated to publishing quality worship songs as well as training, resourcing and influencing worship songwriters from the grass roots to published composers. We’d really value your support.

1.Come you thankful people come,
to praise the one true God;
come as many, come as one,
to praise the one true God.
We've travelled here down many ways,
to praise the one true God,
and all of us have parts to play,
to praise the one true God.
So we sing:

Father, Spirit, Son,
you are God, one true God.
We praise you here as one,
you are God,
one true God.

2.Bring your laughter, raise your voice,
to praise the one true God;
we will make a joyful noise,
to praise the one true God.
Come in sadness, come in pain,
to praise the one true God;
be yourself with us today,
to praise the one true God.
So we sing:

3.Many shapes and sizes come,
to praise the one true God;
we join together old and young,
to praise the one true God.
So bring your gifts and I'll bring mine,
to praise the one true God;
through our differences we'll shine,
to praise the one true God.
So we sing:

This was written specifically to help people of all ages, backgrounds and emotional states feel welcomed into worship. Its simple repeated refrain is something even the youngest children can pick up on, and it intentionally includes those who are coming to worship in sadness or pain. It also picks up on the trinitarian theme, that just as God is both three and one, so we come as many but also as one. We have started many services with it and it always seems to raise voices and smiles! It has been checked and endorsed by childrens/All Age worship experts BIG Ministries.
