Luke and Rachel released their first EP 'Whisper’ in March this year with the song Whisper making it to number 11 in the UK Christian Music Charts. Their lockdown worship anthem ‘I will not fear’ was released in September. They have a passion for writing songs that lead people into the presence of God, that help people fix their eyes on Jesus and to experience afresh the healing power of the Holy Spirit.

I don't usually mention things like this, in general, but I really love this single's cover. But enough about the beauty of the artwork, let's talk about the song, which is a beautiful worship song. The song itself is an intimate, slow paced, worship song that isn't to be rushed. Melodically the song has a small hint of sounding like a hymn, or at least that it's been inspired by a hymn.

‘Glimpse’ is based on Psalm 34. Luke wrote the song with his friends Matt Caddick and Rachel Mason whilst reflecting on the Psalm. Luke says that David’s prayer in this Psalm has become his prayer at this time as we go into a second lockdown. David writes ‘I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles’.

After a few listens it clicked what this song reminded me of, and it is the Delirious track, the chorus for the song 'What A Friend I Found'. Both songs are all about simple but powerful lyrics about the Majesty of Jesus, and as a song, 'Glimpse' does that wonderfully. It's been great hearing the work of Luke Wareham and Rachel Mason over the last twelve months, and the song 'Glimpse' is another strong track to add to their already expanding repertoire of brilliant worship songs.
