BREAKING NEWS!
Well I have some very exciting news……I have been offered and have signed an “exclusive songwriting contract” with Kingsway, Thankyou music – which now has collaborated with “Survivor Records” with the likes of Tim Hughes, Ben Cantelon, Matt Redman, Al Gordon and Chris Tomlin.)
The Contract is for three years where any songs I write will be be handled and published by them. This will open up opportunities to Co-write, develop my song writing, hopefully bless the wider body with fresh songs of worship and maybe even one day record an “Emerge” album.
It’s so exciting to see what God is doing, I am SO thankful to Him for this opportunity.
I desperately hope I can help develop the gift God has given to me so I can have the greatest honour of putting words of praise on the lips of God’s people on a wider scale.
I would really appreciate your prayers…
Thanks
Chris.
hey fella,
just wanted to say I’ve been catching some of your stuff on worship central and the people’s album and i just wanyted to encourage you that i think your songs are really fresh, powerful and accessible God’s clearly gifted you and it’s great to see that he’s opening up exciting doors for you (i know you posted this in Oct but I’m pretty slow!). I also really get a sense, just from your comments on worship central, of your humility and genuiness. Seeing someone emerge with great gifting and great character is really exciting.
Anyway, i’ll def plan to keep up to date with your stuff.
Blessings
Geoff
Hey Geoff,
Thanks so much for taking the time out to share the encouragement! Yeah it’s an exciting journey and one I genuinely hope honours and glorifies God, (even through all the worship central banter!! :)
So where abouts are you based?
Blessings, it’s great to hear from you.
Chris
can’t wait to hear your album chris!! big fan of great is the lord using it alot at my church! keep it up mate
Thanks Tim! :)
Hi Chris,
Those spam posts on Worship Central the other day actually did some use, otherwise I would have missed “God beyond all history” and the interesting post about the emerge album. Thought I’d look it up as it may have been in progress. Really love the song, the chorus has been stuck in my head for the past couple of days now. Even though it’s been over a year since it was first posted. I was wondering if you had any chord sheets for it? It would be great to try and introduce it to a few in my church. If not don’t worry :)Also any more news on an Album yet? That is all really. Keep up the good work. Be encouraged :)
Much love.
Sam.
Hi Sam.
Thanks for getting in touch! Ha, the ironic thing is I’ve scrapped ‘God beyond all history’! Maybe I should re-look at it!?
I am meeting with Adrian who is A&R manager for Kingsway in September to look at all my songs and see if there are enough good enough to release to the church.
Thanks again and God bless!
Chris
Hi again Chris,
No way, Ha, I suggest definitely keep the chorus stashed away somewhere. You never know when you may want to try it again some day, Hopefully ha. :) Been checking a few out and they are all very good useable songs so plenty to choose from anyway.
Good luck with Kingsway, whether it goes through or not I wish you all the best.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, Sam.
Will do!
I have some more songs on the go that are getting there. I may post some little snippets of where I am at with songs if people would find that helpful and would contribute their honest thoughts so I can strengthen them.
Take care and hope to speak soon
Chris
