Lyrics of Faith

About Lyrics of Faith

Lyrics of Faith is a podcast that explores the theology behind the songs we sing. Each episode takes one worship song and reflects on it through a series of gentle, accessible theological lenses — Who is God? Who are we? What does the song reveal about God’s saving and sustaining work? How does it fit within the big story of Scripture, from creation to new creation? What does it say about our relationship with Jesus? And how might these truths shape the way we live? Rather than focusing on the history of the song or the songwriter’s intention, Lyrics of Faith invites listeners to sit with the lyrics themselves — discovering the biblical themes, spiritual depth, and everyday discipleship that our worship points us toward. It’s an opportunity to slow down, pay attention, and let the songs of the church form us in faith, hope, and love. About Me My name is Alanna Sorrensen. I’ve walked with Christ for over 40 years and am deeply involved in my local church. In my role as RTO Manager with the SU Institute of Training — part of SU Australia Ministries — I have the joy of equipping future chaplains and youth workers. Here on Lyrics of Faith, I explore the biblical themes and theological richness woven into the worship songs we sing, encouraging thoughtful reflection and deeper engagement with the truths they proclaim. If you’ve enjoyed listening, reflecting, or journeying along with these ideas, I’ve created a simple way for you to support the work behind it. There’s no expectation at all — but every bit of encouragement helps make it possible to keep creating. https://buymeacoffee.com/alanna.sorrensen (https://buymeacoffee.com/alanna.sorrensen)

   103. 'God Of Wonders' a reflection

   Questions for Reflection/Discussions: 1. When did you last allow something in creation to lead you deliberately into worship? 2. How does the incarnation change the way you think about the greatness of the God who created the universe? 3. Has familiarity caused you to stop noticing some of the ordinary wonders through which you could practise gratitude and awe?

   102. 'Great Is Thy Faithfulness' a reflection

   Questions for Discussion/Reflection 1. Do you tend to measure God's faithfulness by whether he gives you the outcome you hoped for? 2. Looking back, where can you now recognise God's provision or sustaining grace in a season that was difficult at the time? 3. What would it look like to begin each day by deliberately remembering that God's compassion is new every morning?

   101. 'Make Room' a reflection

   Questions for Reflection/Discussion What plan, expectation or outcome do you currently find hardest to hold with open hands before God? Are there traditions or assumptions in your faith that you have never really examined in the light of Scripture? What might “making room” for God require you to release rather than add?
