“Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, or His son’s name? Surely you know!” This was the tantalising, prophetic musing of a man called Agur (Proverbs 30:4). … More YHWH and Yeshua
Following the release of the song story video for ‘Holy Overshadowing’ a couple of days ago, Make Way Music have just released the full performance I gave with Graham Kendrick, Mark Prentice and Terl Bryant. It was lots of fun going to film it. Credit for the arrangement goes to those guys – when I … More New Song Video – Holy Overshadowing
