St Aldates Worship is the worship and creative team of St Aldates Church in Oxford, UK. Led by Jamie Thomson and Lauren Harris (New Wine Worship), the creative community has attracted new songwriters such as Tom Read (formerly The Vine, Hong Kong and Worship Central) and penned songs that faithfully serve the local church but demonstrate a deep marrying of theology, poetry and accessibility- including modern classics "You Restore My Soul" and "Until You Do."
Hold On, written by Lauren Harris (New Wine Worship), Tom Read and Jamie Thomson is another release that continues to validate St Aldates Worship have a unique ability to write songs that allow the articulation of lament while harnessing the power of hope. "Hold On" is a raw and tender, yet hopeful song that articulates the pain that many have felt throughout this past year while pointing us ultimately to the hope in Christ who "holds all things together."
