We decided that we would record a song I had written called Identity. However by the end of the day we made some changes and the song is now called Your the God who Comforts. (I will post further about the story behind the song later) It was fantastic to have some space and review the song in a new light and to have some great input and advice looking at how the song connects and engages people to look again to there God who comforts them and who brings them peace.
It’s funny though I’ve had real mixed feelings about the song since we came out of the studio. I love the changes and love the sound, but I have felt abit sad about losing some of the lyrics.
I’ve been writing worship songs now for the last year and a half I wouldn’t claim to be the worlds best but I just have a real strong belief it is what I feel God has called me to do and I want to be faithful to that and in the gifts he has given me to use to lead people into worship. The day with Brian in the studio taught me loads and reminded me once again I still have loads to learn. I really feel the changes have strengthened the song but also has helped me too – as I start out on this journey to ask how precious am I about what i write? Am I open to learn to receive input and honest positive criticisim of my art form. I think I can positively now say yes! I have benefited so much from the day with Brian would like to thank him, Adam, Josh and Mike for all the input, encouragement and support it has been greatly beneficial and blessed me immensely! Thank you
Peace out

Hey if Sunday is anything to go by the time with Brian did you no harm at all!! Don’t rush what God is doing with you and the band. You’re amazing and that’s what yout Heavenly father thinks too :0)
Hey – looking forward to hearing all – love that song! It’s truth
Colin, this blog is cracking. I’m really enjoying reading all about your experience and to hear about how things are coming together is great! The song sounds good too, Brian must be really good
