I don’t celebrate Easter, but I do celebrate the reality of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and I find this song as sung by Keith Green to be hugely inspirational in reminding me of that reality and I want to celebrate that today like never before, just as Paul said he wants […]
Read More Easter Song – Keith GreenSo last week I was happy to share some good memories about the impact of the beautiful voice of Deniece Williams. We have it on my word that she’s worth being considered as a gospel artist (as if that’s important). While reminiscing about My Soul Desires and pondering on the lyrical content I was reminded […]
Read More They Say – Deniece Williams with Phillip Bailey and Sandi PattyI was just informed by my sister recently that my Aunt Nalda has died. She was suffering for quite a while so in one sense it’s the end of the suffering, on the other hand though, more importantly, someone in the family has died. My mum’s sister has died. Life is for the living. Life […]
Read More For The Living – In Times Of ConsolationI’d love to be trustworthy – truly trustworthy. In my line of work I come across the odd CV or 2 (hundred) where punters want me to believe they are trustworthy. They mean well. I don’t dispute their heartfelt belief. I just know that being trustworthy is a lot more than just turning up. Also […]
Read More Standing On The PromisesNot going to be long with you at all just putting in a post thanking God for taking me through the first half of the year. It’s been a rollercoaster ride of a year – January – Finishing work in Stoke and getting used to life without Stoke-on-Trent February – Wilderness time out of work […]
Read More It’s A Year Of Two Halves – A Word Of Thanksgiving On The First HalfThis 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 VersionAs 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 […]
