Song for Good Friday

I was there when they took you
I was there in the garden on the hill
And I saw the blood drops falling on the ground
I was there when they struck you
I was there when they stripped you of your robe
And I saw the vicious thorns upon the crown

Amazing love, amazing grace
amazing suffering
so undeserved, my living word
my sacrificial king

I was there when they lashed you
I was there when they nailed you to the cross
And I saw your gaping wounds and tearing flesh
I was there as you shouted
Father God please forgive them of their sin
I saw you as you took your final breath

Amazing love, amazing grace
amazing suffering
so undeserved, my living word
my sacrificial king

I was there with your mother
I was there when they placed you in the tomb
And I saw the hand of death that sealed you in
I wait, I am waiting
as your spirit's descending into Hell
and I watch Messiah crush the serpent's head

Amazing love, amazing grace
amazing victory
my conqueror, the living word
my resurrected King
Amazing joy, amazing thruth
amazing victory
defeating all the power of hell
my resurrected King

I was there in the morning
I was there when you rose up from the grave

1500 years of praise

I came across this just the other day and absolutely loved it.   Not only is it very clever and incredibly well executed, but it says so much about the church I love and the power of music throughout the decades to connect man with his Maker.     Enjoy.   ( 8 minutes long) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SaBhN2idbM&list=RDhdwqrgH8dmA&index=11

Shaken

You always do the unexpected. Just when I think I know How you think, What you mean, Where you are, You shatter all my preconceptions. You shape-shift, slipping Through the fingers of my mind. Eye-cornered, I think I spy You, elusive yet there. And just as I settle You rattle my cage The dust flies And my card house falls I've been thinking about shaking.  And this poem was the result yesterday. It's interesting that in Haggai God says He will shake the heavens, then the earth, then the sea and then the land. Next He will shake the nations - all of them.  And then He will come. At the moment it feels as though the whole earth is being shaken by the virus, but actually I don't think it is.  Much of the world has been affected but not all of it.  This might well be more of a tremble than a shaking.  I think the shaking is yet to come. But this is most certainly something unexpected, unusual and unsettling.  We d...

He Is RIsen

Thank you so much for following the blog this Lent.  When I started writing I could not have anticipated things going quite the way they have gone.  But God has not changed over these past weeks.  If anything He has come more into focus in more peoples lives across the world than ever. Today, apparently, President Trump has asked for an Easter service to be broadcast across the whole of the States to over a billion people on Fox News.  Yesterday I was listening to question time on Radio 4.  Three of the four pannelists professed a faith in God and spoke up for the positive effects faith can have in a time of crisis.  The Queen has twice this week broadcast a message of hope, her Easter speech being a very direct exhortation for us all to look to the light of the world.  It seems to me that God's voice is getting a chance to be heard in these days like it hasn't been for many years.  Church services will be broadcast today over social media, giv...
