I love the pursuit of songwriting, and I've seen what songs can do in people's lives. Some of the stories that come back from songs flying around the globe are so encouraging.

The sense of being alone is a huge issue for so many people in this world. As a worshipper of Jesus, there's a very real sense that we are always seen, held and known.

We are to live in eager expectation of our heavenly inheritance.

I love the intensity of the Psalms. No-one ever sounds bored about God or about life in the Psalms.

Christian worship must contain both the cross and the crown. Sing of majesty, and sing of mercy.

I have the privilege of ministering in many different streams of the church. When you do that you're never going to subscribe to everything each other believe, but there's always so much common ground. The main and plain stuff you have in common, so you build upon that. I've never found a stream of the church I didn't learn something from. Every single time, even if I didn't personally agree with everything, there was something I took away, or learned, and felt like a stronger worshipper or worship leader.

In some of the best worship songs we bring our praises to God - yet at the same time also end up preaching to ourselves.
