Sometimes God can surprise us with His presence. We read in the bible that He is always present with us – it’s just that we often forget this (or prefer to ignore this truth!) On the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-31) the disciples didn’t even realize it was the risen Jesus who they conversed with, until he broke bread with them.
On one particularly stressful day, I had a moment waiting in the car for my son to come out of school. I just found myself saying “God, thank you for your goodness to me”, over and over again, so much so that I was overwhelmed by the presence of God. Gradually the cloud of anxiety and fear lifted, and I knew in my inner being that I could relax and know that “all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well”
(Julian of Norwich ca.1342- 1416. Christ is said to have uttered these words to Julian in a near death apparition)
It was in this moment that I sang the first line of “Dwell”. I knew that what I needed to do with the rest of the song was to somehow recreate this peace that I had experienced. I hope that as you listen to the track you will encounter this rest for your soul. But before you do so, I want invite you to get somewhere were you won’t be disturbed for five minutes, switch your mobile off, invite God to speak to you, and then press play:-
This track is the title song from our new prayerscapes album “Dwell”, out now on iTunes, and downloadable from our site here.
The chords, lyrics and full piano score (in E minor) are also available on this page.
Just sat quietly and so blessed by ‘Dwell’. God’s Spirit flows to and through you. Thanks so much.
Thank you for your encouraging words Brenda!

This is Divine synergy. Music (sound) Words (sound & thoughts) merging in a revelatory effort as light is shed on a key path to the revelation of God’s wisdom. . There can be no revelation without an intimacy with the word of God.
