A prayer/a song/whatever

12 September 2010 2 Comments

The i pod has been a godsend!

Something locally has been brewing for years and is beginning to explode/unravel. This has been at it’s height this week. Normally I do not suffer from this, but some nights sleep has been hard to come by or I’ve been waking up too early. Occasionally my back muscles have been knotting. This is not good.

I’ve got into the habit of listening to this song a lot. In fact I’m using it today in worship.

I may have posted this song before. I love it and it has become a kind of creed for me. Hearing it, the tears begin to form (and this is from someone who does not ‘get’ Christian music). I once met Paul Field and had a chat with him: fantastic man- not squeaky clean, but real. I can’t link the music as I do not have the software- treat yourself on i-tunes- you know you want to.

Go peaceful, in gentleness, through the violence of these days,

Give freely, show tenderness in all your ways.

Through darkness in troubled times, let holiness be your aim,

Seek wisdom, let faithfulness burn like a flame

 

God speed you, God lead you, and keep you wrapped around his heart,

May you be known by love.

 

Be righteous, speak truthfully, in a world of greed and lies,

Show kindness, see everyone through heavens eyes.

 

God hold you, enfold you and keep you wrapped around his heart,

May you be known by love.

 

God speed you, God lead you, and keep you wrapped around his heart,

May you be known by love.

 

…. may you be known by love….

    Paul Field’s “God of the Moon and Stars” is challenging too, but I find it energising. One church I used it in said I should not have used it as he talks about pimps and peadophiles..o .. and prostitutes! But then didn’t Jesus talk with prostitutes?
