pastorally gentle for grieving families.

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

Still Only One Way — A Worship Song Rooted in John 14 

Still Only One Way

Helps us worship with conviction, clarity, and faith because it's anchored in the words of Christ from the upper room.   It reflects Jesus’ words in John 14: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” — spoken to assure & comfort confused, anxious disciples. It invites us to restate our hope in Him with steadfastness and resolve, even when cultural voices around us disagree.

The Grace — A Sending Song for Any Sunday 

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.

We Will See ~ Sunshine for Rainy Days  

Dugort, Achill Island  |  Ireland

I’ve always thought of misty, shadowy West of Ireland weather as gloomy or mysterious. It wasn’t until I read CS Lewis on the difference between half light (Nordic) & full light (Mediterranean) beauty that I broadened my perspective. He compares a northern landscape & light to water colours, bright southern light to oil paintings. One vivid & exuberant, the other subtle & nuanced. Ambivalent.

Still Only One Way ~ Sunshine for Rainy days  

Track 2: ‘Sunshine for Rainy Days’, Our debut album cover,
from an anonymous encourager on a Glasgow street wall.

Life is great, BUT, there are a few things about the cultural momentum in ‘The West’ that irritate me, one or two that scare me, and several that fill me with bottled rage. I think this says more about me gaining perspective as I get older, than this snapshot in time being particularly worse.

It's just another fashion honest!

For instance, fashion was really bad in the 70’s when I was a kid. My…
