One Reason – A Collaboration
Two musical projects are captured on this album in live and studio recordings. Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs (September 2018), is a collection of songs inspired by the call of Colossians 3:16 to let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly as we sing with gratitude in our hearts to God. HomeGrown (October 2018) is a collaborative project of original songs (Psalm 96:1) written by local Christians for the local church.
Both projects reflect on the overwhelming love of God for a lost humanity: coming to this hostile world; living the life we refuse to live; dying the death we deserve to die. In love he invites us to trust in Christ, so that we will not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). That is worth singing about!

[expand title=”1. ONE REASON – Words and Music by Roydon Frost, Bronwen Anderson and Steven de Longchamps. Arranged by Fuzz, 2018. Lead singer: Steven de Longchamps.”]
MOTIVATION BEHIND THE SONG…
Why did God become man? Why would he do that? This is the mystery that inspired this song. As far as I can tell, the Bible only gives one answer. The answer is Love. It’s not what we think of when we say love, the kind of love that is an emotional response to someone who meets my needs. The kind of love that responds to someone who is loveable. We are not loveable when God loves us. God’s love has everything to do with who God is, and nothing to do with who we are. God’s love is the One reason. – Roydon Frost
LYRICS
Verse 1
Why would you trouble to
walk on this street
For sweat on your brow
and dust on your feet
Why would you suffer
to enter so near?
Into the pain,
the chaos, the fear.
Verse 2
What could have moved
you to leave heaven’s light?
To wander the darkness,
wade into the night?
What could have moved you
to leave heaven’s court?
To pay with your blood –
What have you bought?
Chorus
One reason, one motive,
one cause to be found
One heartbeat to God’s great design
His love is the meaning,
His love the sure ground
In love I am His
By grace, I am His
Through the cross I am His
and He is mine
Verse 3
Who is so precious?
Who is the prize?
Who ever earned the
gaze of your eyes?
Why would you suffer
to enter so near?
Who is so precious?
Who is so dear?
Verse 4
How could our God
hang from a cross?
How could our gain
be born of His loss?
Where are we going,
and where does it end….?
To be near King Jesus,
Saviour and Friend.

One reason, one motive,

[expand title=”3. GOD OVERWHELMING – Words and Music by Gareth Maggs, Arranged by Fuzz and Bronwen Anderson, 2018. Lead Singer: Gareth Maggs.”]
MOTIVATION BEHIND THE SONG…
I pictured myself standing before Jesus as he’s dying on the cross. The God of all creation, just a few feet away from me, sacrificing himself for a small part of his creation; people. That thought alone made me speechless. However, knowing that I was one of those people who he loved so much that he would give his life, this left me with a flood of emotions. The only response I could have to a God of such grandeur and grace is to be overwhelmed and to say to that Lord, MY LORD, “Take every part of me; my lips, my feat, my eyes… may my life ever be to God Overwhelming” – Gareth Maggs
LYRICS
Verse 1
Here I stand at Your cross
And I’m overwhelmed.
The God of the world is paying my cost.
Author of nations
Rocks cry out his name
The Lord of creation
now nailed for my shame
Chorus
May my lips ever praise God overwhelming.
May my feet ever walk in His glorious ways.
May my eyes ever long, for His kingdom come.
May my life ever be to God Overwhelming
Verse 2
Alpha Omega, with thorns in his brow
Leader of angels,
at the hands of the crowds
Oh, what infinite mercy
displayed on that tree.
Despised and rejected,
By the ones he redeems
Verse 3
Lion of Judah
Now a lamb lying slain
A consuming Fire
Now a smouldering flame
Oh what love overwhelming
What unfathomable Grace
When Jesus my Saviour
Died in my place

[expand title=”4. STAND – Words by Roydon Frost, Music by Bronwen Anderson, Arranged by Fuzz, Steven de Longchamps and Chris Parker, 2018. Lead singers: Steven de Longchamps and Steven Hicks.”]
MOTIVATION BEHIND THE SONG…
The Bible is very real about life. Life is not easy. The Christian life is not easy. We face very real struggles. But God gives us everything we need to keep going. He gives us himself. In Jesus Christ we stand. – Roydon Frost
LYRICS
Verse 1
When corruption is my shadow
And sin my daily bread
When my days are drenched in sorrow
My nights in sinner’s dread
When despair is my companion
I will look to You instead
When despair is my companion
I will look to You instead
Verse 2
When the voices rage against me
Screaming “Christian take your seat!”
Or sing sweetly “Come and join us,
That way ends in sure defeat,”
When the world bears down upon me
I will stand and not retreat
When the world bears down upon me
I will stand and not retreat
Chorus
Though we stumble, though we fall
Though we falter at the call
We are steadied by Your Hand
And in Jesus Christ we stand!
Verse 3
When the powers are about me
Dark forms on every side
With snares set to enslave me
Dark schemes to steer my stride
When the evil one comes for me
To You I run and hide
When the evil one comes for me
To You I run and hide
Verse 4
And when death sits at my table
When it lingers at my door
When my days stretch out behind me
And my prospects are no more
When the grave decrees a silence
I will listen for Your call
When the grave decrees a silence
I will listen for Your call

MOTIVATION BEHIND THE SONG…
LYRICS
Verse 1
Chorus
Josh he fit the battle of Jericho
Josh he fit the battle of Jericho
Josh he fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls, oh the walls,
The walls came tumbling down
Verse 1
All these opinions in my head,
How many arguments do we have left?
Who do you believer when
Everybody’s tongue is,
Everybody’s tongue is loose?
And if you dare to refute
They say you’re straying from the truth.
Oh Lord, am I really sure
That I’m living for your good book?
And this doubt is worrying.
Revive my faith and
Help me sing like a child again.
Verse 2
You see, I hear different
people coming my way.
For some things I’m like “Nah,
you can hit the highway!’
One time, one particular Friday
We were not one; all believers.
Can I say, had a question,
Which one is the path?
All quoting scripture saying
You do the math
But then came a scientist
I admit I thought “Is it legit?”
Evolution, dinosaurs do I gotta take a pick?
Hey but think, pause, who is the source?
With true revelation
Truth no flaws in the mix
Christ gonna fix All the confusion all put to rest
All picturesque that cross
Nothing more is the reason we blessed
Yes
Everybody wants my heart to say
Black and white is the God I praise.
My problem is that God is real,
His heart still is full of zeal.
Ey! You don’t get it do you?
I’m tired of listening to you
Compromising conversations
Caught up in your world view.
Persona is kaleidoscope;
Horizon is a ray of hope.
I’m made in his image
Picture large that’s why you can’t cope.
Let me be me!
Reflective of the great He
The cross is the path I chose
And captain is the G-o-d
I’m done!
Bridge 2
I go, where you go, that’s what I call I faith (FAITH)
While you move, the mountains
Don’t stand in your way (WAY)
I bend my knees
Stretch my hands up to pray (PRAY)
Cause all that you told me
is trust and obey

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy praise.
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart.
Naught be all else to
me, save that Thou art.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
I need Thee every hour,
most gracious Lord.
No tender voice like
Thine can peace afford.
How… How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Saviour’s love!
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound!
That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost, but now I’m found,
was blind, but now…
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long!
I need thee, oh, I need
thee!
Every hour I need Thee!
Oh, bless me now, my
Saviour, I come to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love…
Here’s my heart, Lord, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above.

LYRICS
Verse 1
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
Verse 2
In Christ alone who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save,
Till on that cross, as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied,
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
Verse 3
There in the ground his body lay;
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me.
For I am His and He is mine,
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
Verse 4
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell,
no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand!
