1/4/2022 Look up and live ...This year started with a sermon series at our church featuring this sign placed below overhead power lines on construction sites. The words LOOK UP AND LIVE are emblazoned on the torso. The sign is warning of a threat that is often out of view when the operator's eyes are focused on the task in front of them. How many of us don't remember to look to God in our everyday life because our focus is only on the everyday events which are in front of us? 19/1/2022 At the Foot of the CrossI'm slowly working my way through previous songs to create a vocal demo for them. Here is one from 2019 and I'll probably be working backwards in time. This song came from a meditation on the cross as a member of the crowd. Jesus's blood drops falling to the ground drew parallels for me with Abel's blood on the ground in Genesis 4. Cain feels driven from God's presence yet he is protected from those who might quite understandably want vengeance. The blood of Jesus allows us to enter God's presence and we are protected from the eternal consequences of our sin. 17/1/2022 Forever YoursHowever dark our situation, whether it be the realisation of our utter fallenness or a feeling of being overwhelmed by our circumstances, we have a hope and assurance in Christ that we will prevail over [our enemy] in the morning (Ps 49:14). That hope lights the dawn for both our continued earthly life and ultimately our everlasting life. Nothing, however bad it seems to us or anyone else, can assail our security when we are 'in Christ' – we are forever His (Romans 8:35-39 and Luke 23:32-43). 17/1/2022 ImmanuelInspired by the early hymn quoted in Philippians 2, this song considers the incarnation as an event fulfilled over an extended period of human time and announced in advance. It links Advent to Easter and the hope of the complete fulfilment of Advent when Jesus, the first to rise, returns in his glory. 31/12/2020 Some new songs addedAltar of Praise, To live is Christ and You are our Comfort uploaded, all with vocal demos.
