This song is a bit of a co-write with friend of mine Ryan Baker-Barnes. We both grew up in Zimbabwe, Africa which is where we met. We continued to keep in touch once we had both moved to the UK and have co-written quite a few songs together.
This one started off as Ryan’s idea and I came along and added a few bits and pieces here and there. Julian Kindred then took what we had written and also made some changes which has resulted in the song as it now stands.
The song itself is a celebration of salvation and an exuberant shout of joy in worship!

Drawn into destiny
The day You rescued me, The day You set me free
Found hope – eternally
The day You gave Your all, to be my everything
You are the pulse within these veins, My heart beats to give You praise
Now my life is for Your glory
CHORUS:
Iʼm alive in love, Iʼm alive in You, Your love has rescued me
Iʼm alive to give, all my life to You, Your love has set me free
Forever Iʼm alive
Fear lost its grip on me
The day You rescued me, The day You set me free
A future You won for me
The day You gave Your all, to be my everything
BRIDGE:
The same power, the same freedom
The same life that raised Christ from the dead
Is alive in me
