Worship Leader - Grace Church Chichester Evening Worship Leader Cathy Burton approaches song writing and performing like one of those unexpectedly brilliant street painters that seem to only ever appear in the biggest tourist hotspots. Just watching the process of creation is as rewarding an experience as savouring the finished thing. Cathy's lyrical currency has always been honesty. So when her latest album - Source of Every Hour - turns directly to the cross, offering up songs for the whole congregation to join in with, the results are fascinating to watch. Her time with Grace Church Chichester has been key in her development as a worship songwriter. Not only has Cathy been writing because of the church, but she has seen the relationship between sung worship and community in new ways. "I've
always led worshp," Cathy Recalls, "but I never wrote Worship
songs. There where just so many great writers already writing brilliant
songs. Why would I want to try to join in, and fail? It was only when
I went on a songwriter's course that I felt God Challenge me on this:why
was I so proud? Why did I think it was a competition? Why was I holding
back songs that spoke so |
