feels . That ’ s quite a bit different from many worship teams . What would you like to say about this ?
[ Brett ] We ’ re currently about to record another song that I wrote in 12 / 8 ! I wrote the song with my friend Emma Munns , who ’ s in the other room at the moment . We had done it on a writing day , and I think the brief that had come from Jessie-Rose was , we would love to write , let ’ s do at least the first session focused on praise . And so I think in my head I was asking , “ How can we maybe do something a little bit different that doesn ’ t feel like the typical kind of fast 4 / 4 praise song ? So yeah , I started picking through that progression in 12 / 8 with that kind of triplet feel with my friend Emma . And we opened up the Psalms . We just wanted something very declarative .

And then verse six I think , is , “ Come let us kneel before the Lord , our God , our maker ”.
And so we basically just started singing scripture . Emma ’ s very good at that . And so just lilting . And I think the 12 / 8 feel of the song provoked some really interesting timing throughout … some bouncy feeling , melodic timing in the verses . So that became the foundation for the verses . And then when it came to the chorus . I remember we just wanted something very simple and something very vertical . I had kind of an idea of something that feeds back into itself , that as soon as the end of the chorus line ends , that almost feels like the start of the chorus . Kind of feeling like that the angels and saints singing holy and holy forever in heaven and not getting tired . So yeah , that was that loop “ worthy of all praise , highest praise , highest praise . He is worthy of it ”. And admittedly , even in congregational times , sometimes it ’ s hard to get out of that loop because it gets a little tough … it just keeps feeding back into it . And then actually during that same trip to Nashville , Brad and Jesse and I hadn ’ t quite nailed down the bridge . And so
