This post brings to a conclusion a mini-series I’ve done since last night on different versions of this one song. I’ve been through the beginning with the version I’m most used to. Then I posted an entry with a life-changing encounter with a version that got me thinking seriously about the lyrical content. All the […]
Read More Love So Amazing, So Divine …Following yesterday’s first version of WISTWC it’s fair to say that at the time I didn’t pay too much attention to the song itself. As age has had a habit of doing for a while it was as I grew that the weightiness of the lyrical content began to hit home. I remember back whilst […]
Read More When I Survey The Wondrous Cross – Kathryn ScottThere are three versions of this song and although I don’t usually do the music thing at this time, I’m happy to make an exception for a song that means so much to me. The lyrics provide the reason why I am profoundly moved by it. In line with the focus of the next 24 […]
Read More When I Survey The Wondrous Cross – My First VersionMy gospel music upbringing was predominantly around choirs and groups with a smattering of male solo acts and a very limited number of female solo artists. So if you were to ask me to name ten quality female gospel solo artists I’d struggle where I wouldn’t struggle to name twenty male ones. Deniece Williams as […]
Read More My Soul Desire – Deniece WilliamsAs I said, it’s all in the timing which can be reached by building momentum. I said it and I meant it, I can see life through that prism and it works for me. Developing on that, though, I came across the familiar passage of scripture that preoccupied my thoughts for the majority of last […]
Read More A Bit To The Left, A Bit To The Right – About PositioningI close my eyes sometimes and just think, meditate, contemplate and imagine. Worship is about opening the mouth and expressing what the heart says, for me it is equally about that build up inside so that what comes out is the outlet of what has been bubbling up inside. Songs like this take me to […]
Read More There Is None Like You – Alvin SlaughterIt’s all in the timing. Timing is important. Timing is very, very important. I love the jokes and good jokers and timing is crucial. Oh really get the timing right and it’s like fireworks and celebrations. Getting the timing just slightly out and the way it goes flat is worse than ginger beer going flat. […]
Read More Building and Maintaining Life MomentumI love the music of Andrae Crouch. My mother introduced him to me at an early age and I’ve stuck by it ever since, and this is one of the standards that have made him so great. He’s great because he allows himself to be used as a channel of giving glory to God and […]
Read More CD Songs – Andrae Crouch – Through It AllSo I’ve talked before about hard work being lazy – do you know what effort goes into doing your best to do little or nothing? Not saying that I’m lazy, but I’ve been accused of it, and now I work with more people who accused of the same and in reality there’s a great deal […]
Read More Hard Work This Resting GigAssurance. People are so anxious about yesterday, today and tomorrow, the state of the world, the state of their city, the state of their children, the state of their parents, the state of the state! Yet putting confidence in One who controls it all and offers His presence at every opportunity leaves one with that […]
