Gather Round 05:33
Gather round, all you sons and daughters Gather round, children of the King Gather round, all you sons and daughters Gather here with Him Gather here with Him Come and rest, all who feel weary Come and rest, I’ll pick you up again Come and rest, your head upon my shoulder Lay your burdens down Lay your burdens down Lay your burdens Come and lay your burdens down Lay your burdens down I will carry You Written by Simon Shaw © 2014

Communion 03:55
Drawn into the Shepherd’s fold Inside the warmth, outside the cold A table laid, so fill me up Break the bread now, pass the cup An outstretched hand, an unveiled place I’m met with mercy, clothed with grace The Spirit’s breath, the Saviour’s smile The Fathers voice, “Come stay awhile” This is a place where lives are shared Of stories told, both young and old This is a place where dreams are made Of unwrapped hearts, and unpacked souls Of holy communion, holy communion Where I commune with You, I commune with You Written by Simon Shaw © 2014

Above Me 04:28
Above me hangs the silent sky; Around this city sleeps; These streets are all at rest, and I Am, Lord, alone with Thee. Go where I may, from all remote, Thou, Lord, art ever near: No secret thought,that You can’t know; No word, that You can’t hear. When all around are deep in sleep, Thy presence here I find; Through darkest night my soul you keep, And watch my troubled mind. In winds, through rain, and stormy sky; I see Thee present here; And, looking at myself, I cry, Am I still in Thy care? The sense of all I’ve been and done Would fill me with despair But to my Saviour’s arms I run, And find my refuge there. Lord, arm my soul with faith in Thee, And fill my heart again, And grant me here communion sweet With Thee, the sinner’s friend. And grant me here communion sweet With Thee, the sinner’s friend Original Hymn by Henry F Lyte (1793-1847) Rewritten by Rachel Meissner and Simon Shaw ©2014

Holy Spirit, light divine Shine upon this life of mine Chase the shade of night away Turn my darkness into day Holy Spirit, all divine Dwell within this heart of mine A pure temple, would I be I dedicate my all to thee Holy Spirit breathe Fill my life anew I’m longing to receive, more of You Let me see my Saviour’s face Oh to me his beauties trace Show those glorious truths to me Which are only known to thee Holy Spirit, Love divine “Abba, Father”, be my cry Heaven’s child I have become Welcomed to my Father’s home Original Hymn by Andrew Reed (1787-1862) Re-written by Simon Shaw ©2014

Hear the angels sing Crown Him Lord and King Lift your voice to Him Worthy, Worthy See the Holy throne Christ the Living One Worship Him alone Holy, Holy Joining with the angels song Gathered from each tribe and tongue Bow before Your ancient throne We cry Holy, Holy, Holy And we cast our crowns down Singing worthy is the Lamb, Worthy is the Lamb And we lay our lives down Singing worthy is the Lamb, Worthy is the Lamb Written by Simon Shaw, Andy and Wendy Green ©2014

Home 05:34
Jesus, You are welcome here Welcome in this heart of mine Jesus, I am drawing near Asking Your Spirit to find A place in my heart for Your throne A life that will serve You alone Make Your home in me Dwell in me anew I lay ambition down And set my sights on You To see Your kingdom come And Your will be done On earth as in heaven As you make Your home in me Written by Simon and Gaynor Shaw ©2014

Holy 04:27
I desire You my King To be here In Your Majesty To fall at Your feet and worship To be here in Your glory You are Holy Holy You are Holy Holy Here I am At Your feet I once was broken And now complete You know me more than I ever could You have put me together again I’m made Holy Holy I’m made Holy Holy Written by Rachel Meissner ©2014

Your eyes are on the sparrow And I know You’re watching over me Even in the darkest night Your mighty hands, they cradle me So, I’ll sing Your praise I’ll sing Your praise I’ll sing Your praise All of my days Hallelujah Hallelujah Written by Rachel Meissner and Ben May ©2014
9.
In the heat of the desert You’re refining my heart In the valley of dry bones I am coming alive I am coming alive In the midst of the rubble You’re reviving my soul From the ruins of burnt stones This temple will rise This temple will rise You are, God Sovereign Through it all, You are, Sovereign You are, our God, Sovereign Over all, You are Sovereign Whoah Whoah, these bones will live again Whoah, these stones will sing again Written by Simon Shaw, Rachel Meissner and Lydia Squires ©2014

Jesus, the Father’s glory The One the only Son of God Jesus, Your Spirit draws me I hear You calling at my door Far from Your fire, I grow cold Lord, I am here to buy gold Here I pause, turn, Fix my eyes on the King I return, to You, my first love Let Your passion burn in me For all the world to see We'll see your glory in the ordinary world Of our lives Written by Simon and Gaynor Shaw ©2014
11.
Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee; Take my moments and my days, Let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my hands, and let them move At the impulse of Thy love; Take my feet, and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee. Take my voice, and let me sing Always, only, for my King; Take my lips, and let them be Filled with messages from Thee Take my will, and make it Thine, It shall be no longer mine; Take my heart, it is Thine own, It shall be Thy royal throne. I give You all of me I give You all of me For I am yours, I am Yours Take my love, my Lord, I pour At Thy feet its treasure store; Take myself, and I will be, Ever, only, all for Thee. Original Hymn by Frances R Havergal (1836-1879) Re-written by Simon Shaw and Rachel Meissner ©2014

about

We are passionate about everyday worship! Here is a collection of
simple songs written and recorded among laughter and tears, sunshine and sorrow, celebration and solitude in the space we share together called home - if you listen carefully you might be able to hear our daily soundtrack of the dishwasher, children playing, buses and birdsong in the background!

These songs reflect both the holiness and homeliness of God, of us being welcomed into God's house among a holy community and of God's company touching us here on earth. We hope these simple songs can be used as prayers to accompany the highs and lows of everyday life and sung in the home with friends as extended family together.
