Prayer

Ground. Way. Breath.
I’ve been sitting for a while with the idea that faith is something made as much as it is believed—shaped by hands, time, weather, and patience. This hymn grew out of that sense of slow, faithful craft. It’s written with stone in mind: quarries and chisels, walls raised and repaired, the quiet devotion of people Continue reading

Threads. Loom. Beauty.
Some hymns arrive not just as words but as sensations—colours, textures, patterns that settle into the body before they ever reach the intellect. The hymn I’m sharing today is one of those pieces.

Music in worship isn’t just decoration—it is prayer in sound, a living, breathing offering that moves Continue reading

Faith. Truth. Welcome.

Andrew. Richard. Niamh.
Home woven in three strands: partner, creatures, grace Some prayers begin in silence. Others begin in the small, ordinary movements of a home—the click of the kettle, the soft thump of paws on the stairs, the familiar presence of the person who shares your days. This new hymn grew out of that kind of holiness: Continue reading

Rooted. Gathered. Blessed.
NeuroDivine has always been about recognising the sacred woven through our whole selves—our minds, our bodies, our ways of sensing and moving through the world. It’s a space where difference becomes a doorway, where the textures of neurodivergent experience are met with gentleness, dignity, and grace. This hymn grew from the ancient devotion of Tantum Continue reading
