Story behind the song
For years this has been my favourite of all the songs I've written. I initially wrote it 8 years ago, and in one of its past remixes we took it to a service we did in Lambeth Palace and had bishops singing the plainchant parts (yes really!) But it was due for a remix, and this version has etherial vocals from my old choir, and some of our church office staff doing the monk-like plainchant. It was a bit of a nightmare to mix-down due to the complexity of the synth parts, but worth it in the end!
Lyrics
Adoramus te (we adore You) Glorificamus te (we glorify you) Everyday I feel You holding on to me And I see Your Spirit moving in creation. And the forests they are dancing in Your breeze And the mountains they are reaching for Your Heavens Everyday I feel Your Breath of Life in me. And I see our planet crying for redemption And I know the very stones would call Your name. If our minds and hearts stop beating adoration. Jesus, my God, my Truth, my Hope, my Passion. Jesus, Creation's waiting for your time. We know You're coming, and Jerusalem is soon, Is here, is now, Is coming, growing, moving in this town.
