I Love Sojourn Music

Here’s a sneak peek at Sojourn Church’s upcoming new album. By the way, if you haven’t bought the previous 97 albums, go do that now.

Sojourn musicians work on “Refuge”

Listening 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, redeemed

With 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.

Stream of Consciousness

Posted in: Church Planting, Harmony Church, Greenville, Music

Here’s a few thoughts from my head. Beware.

The first Harmony wedding is on the books! It went pretty smoothly yesterday….
Except I made everyone stand the whole time. I never let them sit down. Whoops!
Had a bit of spiritual warfare this morning. Not sure if it was me alone, or within the body, but it was definitely there. Started with worship and continued through the service. God still did His work and pierced hearts and minds.
It was awesome having Chris and Trish in service. Can’t wait till they come back to Greenville for good .
Dan and Jen are married! Hope they’re having a great time in Myrtle Beach!
Looking forward to Echo Group tonight.
Stoked that the Cowboys lost today. The NFC East is anyone’s game still, even with the 5-1 Giants.
Looking forward to a couple of meetings this week.
What’s your role in rebuilding Greenville?
I am feeling People in Planes. Really feeling them. They’re coming to Carrboro soon for a concert. I will be there.
