the songs

Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy. The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. Psalm 28: 6-7

I call Him Father

Arise

Of all the songs I have written this is by far my favourite and the most special. I wrote this song in 1995, eleven years after the death of my parents. It is a testimony of who God is and who He has become in my life. I promised God that whenever I have the opportunity I will always sing this song as a testimony to Him and I have sung this song many times and every time is special. It is a constant reminder of His grace and mercy to me. One of the most memorable was singing this song at a meeting in Finland before 6000 people. It felt like I was singing to one person and God's presence was so evident. It was truly remarkable.

This is my latest song and first for 2011. Again, didn't take long to write. In fact, I had this picture in my head with a pair of hands rising from the waters to touch the sun. To me this song is about: when we are in the midst of turmoil, destruction, despair or conflict - we need to raise our hands to touch the Sun, meaning Jesus and He will give us beauty for ashes and a garment of praise, and we will be lifted up again.

Set me free

Written in 2010. As with my other songs I didn't intend to write, in fact I haven't felt like nor had the time to write for a while. But this was another song that I wrote probably about 10 - 15 minutes and a couple of days to finalise. I have been writing a personal journal for my children - from the day I was born to the present. It has been a real revelation and I think inspired me to write this song.

Love will find the way

I haven't been writing as much as I used to, mainly due to having three young children in the house! I wrote this in April 2009 for an Easter service in a local secondary school. I didn't intend to write anything but on the Wednesday I wrote this song in about 15 minutes and sang it on the Friday. It usually doesn't take long for me to write but it will take a good few months to get to know and tweak the song.

His most precious gift

My husband and I wrote this song together. We wrote this especially for our wedding. It was written in July 1998 a year before our wedding; recorded at a studio in Dundee and it was played during the signing of the register. This song and "I call Him Father" were recorded in one take so not very polished; we had limited studio time!
