Firm in the Faith

I’m looking at John Burland‘s 2019 album, All Are Welcome Here. This one is based on 1 Cor 16:13 and was co-written with Gary Pinto.

The sheet music is available at his website. I see it more in schools and masses for young people than general use.

Burland’s version is guitar pop, but for some reason I have gone synth-pop. I did these backings a while ago, so the backings are often a surprise to me too.

Verse 1
We walk by Faith
Surrounded by your grace.
Your light it guides our way,
The hope that we’re embraced
…Jesus.

Chorus
Planted firm in the Faith.
Built up we won’t be shaken.
Jesus we are yours today.
We walk side by side,
Together our lives entwined Lord
Jesus, be with us today.

Verse 2
You’re my Saviour,
Your Cross it bears my name.
Your Kingdom now shall reign
And everyone proclaim…your name Jesus.

Chorus
Bridge
Built on the rock and firm in Jesus Christ
We proclaim your Word throughout the world

Chorus x2 (Key change)
