I Love Sojourn Music
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Stoked
Monday, October 27th, 2008We had a great day yesterday at Harmony. We had new visitors on Sunday morning…and different visitors on Sunday evening! Here’s some thoughts:
- Shannon came to Echo Group. He’s awesome. Former drug-dealer in LA, blew lots of money, met Jesus at Angelus Temple. Awesome story. He’s stoked to get involved with Harmony, and is bubbling with excitement over changing this city from the inside-out…particularly the gang culture. So awesome.
- We had a great Echo Group last night. The prayer of Paul at the end of Ephesians 3 grabbed a hold of us in a real way, as Clay led us in praying for one another as Paul prayed for his brothers and sisters.
- Sunday morning was sweet as we talked about regeneration in John 3. Kevin Davis, a friend of the band, led worship, and it was awesome. The first song, Likeness of Jesus, was pretty much the theme-setter for our day yesterday.
- I’m still thinking about how I can have the heart, mind, hands, and feet of Jesus. I’m praying that He would work in me, and everyone else involved with Harmony (even remotely…this means you reading this) would also become more and more like Jesus.
- So stoked about the work that Jesus has prepared for us in this city!
Dearly We’re Bought
Friday, October 24th, 2008Listening to Red Mountain Music’s album, The Gadsby Project (2005). It’s awesome, Gospel-centered music from the Alabama worship cohort. You can find it on iTunes. Here’s the lyrics from one of my favorite songs right now, the first track from the album, Dearly We’re Bought:
Come raise your thankful voice,
Ye souls redeemed with blood;
Leave earth and all its toys
and mix no more with mud.Dearly we’re bought, highly esteemed
Redeemed with Jesus’ blood, redeemed
Dearly we’re bought, highly esteemed
Redeemed with Jesus’ blood, redeemedWith heart, and soul and mind,
Exalt redeeming love;
Leave worldly cares behind,
And set your minds above.Lift up your ravished eyes,
And view the glory given;
All lower things despised,
Ye citizens of heaven.Be to this world as dead,
Alive to that to come;
Our life in Christ is hid,
Who soon shall call us home.
Dwell on that for a while.
