A review of KDMusic’s Trinitarian worship song, as featured on The Berean Test

The Grace is a congregational worship song written to help churches sing the benediction found in 2 Corinthians 13:14:

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”

It has recently been reviewed by The Berean Test, who awarded it a 10/10 for scriptural faithfulness and congregational suitability.

“The Grace oozes with Scriptural depth & agreement. I highly recommend it…

By KDMusic

‘Sometimes the most important moment of a worship service is the last one’.
 

A clear, shared sending — where the church blesses one another in Christ — shapes how people leave and live out their faith. The Grace is a simple congregational benediction song designed to help churches end services with unity, peace, and shared blessing, rather than just a dismissal.

Choosing songs for worship is a pastoral act. The songs we sing shape how our church understands God, prayer, grace, lament, joy, mission, and hope. Worship leaders tend to ask the same core questions each time they select music for Sunday.

This simple framework gives clarity, confidence, and direction in choosing songs that serve the congregation well.

That last blog was pretty intense, so let’s lighten the tone a bit! There are 5 things that have defined my life. My Christian faith, music, the woman who married me (the greatest blessing God has sent my way), my 3 kids, & being part of a great church family at Orangefield in Belfast. So many good friends. So many opportunities to serve. It is without doubt my extended family, which is what it’s meant to be. A family, a body. We’ve had our moments, some wobbles and…

Orangefield, Belfast | N.Ireland

Probably the most fun part of my church life has been doing youth work. I love kids’ work, but youth work was my primary degree & first paid job. So, when I stepped away from that to look after family interests, I got a real kick out of being a youth leader, and eventually ended of keeping an eye on all the youth work for our church in East Belfast. 

There’s a lot going on. I think we estimated we were dealing with 550 children & teens on an average week, or maybe that was…
