On Songs of Hope this morning local musician Sally Turner introduced us to spontaneous worship of God through music. Here is a podcast of the segment. Her new worship piece for this week is called “Awaken the dawn” and is based on Psalm 108:

‘My heart, O God, is steadfast;
I will sing and make music with all my soul.
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn’ (Ps 108:1-2)

Sally has committed to creating one new spontaneous worship song each week for one year. Here is our radio first today. In the next 3 weeks we will play another three original pieces from Sally Turner. Sally’s website is here.

Listen again to the new song from Nick Flynn. Words are by Ellen Carr. The song is based on two verses from the Bible, Philippians 4 v 6 and 7 which read:

6 Do not be anxious about anything,
but in every situation,
by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

7 And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Here is a version without commentary:
