Hey Nick, I think this a song with potential so definitely keep going with this. Something that immediately stood out to me was the metre of the words in the first part of the verse. In my opinion it seems a little complicated for a congregational song if I'm honest, and it's accentuated by not having any drums in there too. I think it's great and I really like it, it's just whether a congregation would be able to pick it up or not is what I'm wondering. Potentially being a bit picky, but I'm just wondering if there is any other word or phrase you could use to avoid saying 'thus ring out'. I'm in no way anti old-school words (in fact I have championed them before on this forum) but in this case it just doesn't quite sit right with me. And one other small thought I had was the opening line 'praise awaits...' Now I know that just because Redman, Hughes, Tomlin etc. write a line, it shouldn't mean that that line is then void and unusable for any other songwriter of any "status". However, it does use the same function as Redman's song to 'open up the song' if you see what I mean. Completely my thoughts off the top of my head, and I know frustrating it is when you come across something that is good or works, and someone else has already done it, so feel free to disagree with any of it mate! :-) So yeah, everything else is great and as I say, definitely keep going with it. Sim p.s. also, i was checking out what you guys have done with your new worship website down at Crookes. Really like it, well laid out, and must be a very helpful resource for the church and all it's worship teams - good work!
