You Bring Peace video and PowerPoint

by: Sam Hargreaves

This song by Sam has been re-recorded for the RESOUNDworship.org Christmas album. It focuses around the familliar Advent Bible passage from Isaiah 9, with echoes of some other scriptural texts about God's peace being evident in times of grief, trial and darkness. The opening line comes from John 14:27 - Jesus brings peace, but not as the world gives. We have made a video which can be downloaded for free from the link above (you will need to sign-up or sign-in to this site). Alternatively, we have created a PowerPoint with stills from the video which you could use if you were playing the song with a live band, or to accompany the mp3 in a simpler way.

The video inserts a suggestion to pray for a situation which needs God's peace, by clenching your fists and then releasing them. This could be used in any church service but we felt it might be particularly appropriate at a Christmas service where you want to pray for difficult situations in the world. It could also work very well during a UK 'Remembrance Day' service, or any sitation where you are thinking about war and peace.

The mp3 is available, as is the rest of the Christmas album, from the RESOUNDworship.org site, plus things like chord charts and piano scores so you could have a band play it live.

We have provided two video formats - .mov which is best for Macs and .mpg which is best for PCs.

Thank you Sam - we are putting together an Advent service around the centenary of the Christmas Truce of 1914 and it was missing something to enable reflection on the stories (see the letters on http://www.christmastruce.co.uk/ for some remarkable eye witness accounts) and to link to the prayers and affirmation of faith and hope. This is perfect! God provides (through talented servants, thank you) as always!

This is a beautiful song Sam, with a melody that really stays with you. I love the arrangement of it - we used it in a Remembrance Sunday reflection at our church yesterday and it got a lot of positive comments, it was brilliant to have the powerpoint as well.

This is so beautiful - it relaxes me in the midst of the chaos of making Christmas special for others. Thank you!

"He will be called . . " is our advent theme this year based on Isaiah 6:9, so this song/prayer is ideal. Many thanks for making your resources available, they are so appreciated.

Hi Sam. Love this resource. Have used it in a personal quiet time and will find a place to use it in church too. Thank you
