This time of lock-down has enabled me to finally record some songs that have been piling up, and today utilise the garden and beautiful weather to record a video. I’d love to hear what you’ve been able to do differently during this unique time. “Bless the Lord, O my soul and forget not all His Read More

God is our Refuge and our Strength – John Hayward & Sarah Begaj
God is our refuge and our strength. This song was written by a lovely brother in the Lord Pastor John Hayward and is based on Psalm 46. At a time when many things have slowed and even come to a stand- still we can be still and know that God is in control. I was Read More
Be still for the presence of the Lord
There’s so many things that could be said…but sometimes we just need to be still and find fullness of joy in His presence. I found myself singing this older worship song as I was washing up…Maybe in the solitude, in the silence God is removing the distractions and idols, getting our attention back where it Read More

Lamb of God

We need revival
On Sunday it was a blessing to be able to introduce a song I wrote called “Let the Spirit and the Bride say come” (just released with @hgwsongs )….My husband Ilir taught the Sunday school lesson that day on Acts chapter 10 about the Roman Centurion Cornelius whose prayers and alms had come up as Read More
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus All our sins and griefs to bear What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer Oh what peace we often forfeit Oh what needless pain we bear All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer This week I have needed to carry many Read More
Something Profound
15 years ago today my husband Ilir asked me if I would be his bride. At the time I was living as a missionary in Kosovo…. I was just thinking how profound it is that not only is my first release with Homegrown worship very Albanian sounding (which Ilir loves) but it is also about Read More
Singing away to my song…
I’ve just been singing away to my song “Let The Spirit and the Bride Say Come” which comes out with Homegrown Worship tomorrow 😄.. Some of you may know that I spent 6 years as a missionary in Kosovo where I gleaned much from their Albanian culture including their incredible hospitality and musical style. There Read More
