After chatting to the editor of  The Transit Lounge for an interview after winning the ‘Songs That Unite’ competition she asked me if I’d like to write an article on worship to be published in their online e-zine.

I’ve always loved writing & hadn’t written anything in years so I thought I’d take up the challenge.  Here’s an excerpt below & you can read the rest of the article here:

A few days after I was asked to write this article I went to Switchfoot’s concert at the Forum in Sydney.  As I stood on the top level of the venue, with a bird’s eye view of the stage & the writhing pit of awed fans clamouring for a touch of John Foreman’s outstretched hand, it struck me again just how powerful music is.  Whether Christian or not the crowd was united in epic sing-a-longs that held all the passion of the church in full voice rising to worship her Creator.  I watched the looks of ecstasy on upturned faces as they mouthed lyrics like:

‘Hallelujah!
I’m caving in
Hallelujah!
I’m in love again
Hallelujah!
I’m a wretched man
Hallelujah!
Every breath is a second chance’ (Always)
