God of grace

Lord, hear my prayer; here this prayer
I come before your throne
I come upon my knees in my time of need
I've sinned; failed again
Grieved Your heart grieved Your Spirit too
Doing the very thing I didn't want to do

But You're the God;
The God of grace
Who is love
Who sent his Son
Who through the cross
Has become
My righteousness
And peace with You

Your word clearly says that if come and confess my sin
You're faithful and You're just and you will forgive me:
Just as if I never sinned
And as if I've always done what's right
Justified in You, cleansed from all unrighteousness

You're the God;
The God of grace
Who is love
Who sent his Son
Who through the cross
Has become
My righteousness
And peace with You

Based on the words in 1 John 1: 8-9. God is a God forgives. It is part of his nature. He is faithful and just to forgive becuase of the cross. This song is sung by Louise Mott.

Songs from a broken heart are songs that I've written and I want to share with you. They are contemporary Christian songs that seek to communicate the heart of being a Christian - sorrow for sin, repentance, a love for the Lord Jesus and a deep desire to live for Him in every area of life.

I wrote most of these songs when I was living out in Turkey for a while. Returning to the UK in 2001 I got together with a few friends from Enfield Evangelical Free Church, the church where I became a Christian in 1994, to develop them further. This group included: Dave Brady, Dan and Rachel Went, Tom Reeves, Richard Maclannan and Neil Arrowsmith.

It was on my heart to be able to share these songs with others and so wanted to record them. I finally got round to recording in prestigious venues such as our front room in Enfield and the old EEFC church vestry! Those involved in recording on the CD were, Neil Arrowsmith (Guitars), Dave Brady (Drums and Percussion), Dan Went (Drums), Richard Maclannan (Keyboards/Piano), Andy Downe (Piano) and Jonty Allcock (Sax). I sung main vocals, played guitar and bass. My sister, Louise Mott, also sung main vocals on god of grace, as well as backing vocals on most tracks with a little help from my wife Tamsyn.
