Higher View
Higher View is a worship song I wrote for my church's 2020 fall series, "That's A Great Question"*, exploring tough questions, including "Why does God allow so much suffering?".
In the midst of this pandemic, we bring our questions and confusion to God, and we find that He is worthy to be trusted with all the things we don’t understand.
Bible verses referenced: Isaiah 55:8-10, Romans 11:33-34, 1 Corinthians 13:12

All I Need I Have In Christ (May the Mind of Christ)
This is a modern hymn based on the hymn "May the Mind of Christ My Saviour" by Kate Wilkinson (1925). The original hymn lyrics are used in the verses with a new melody, and I have added a new original chorus.
Themes: abiding in Christ, riches of Christ, word of God, vine and branches, renewing of mind
