Hey, all. The following link is to a YouTube song written and produced by a GLA'er. It's a lamentation and a praise song. Very targeted to the LC audience. Hope you'll check it out.

And one more thing: go easy on the critiquing. The singer makes no claims of being a professional (and he's quite sensitive). :)

Powerful (even if its not most condusive to rousing congregational chorus).

And I ain't got nothing bad to say about the musicality or the voice - in fact, I loved it (which is what you get from a Tom Waits, Nina Simone and any-singer-with-grit-and-honesty fan...)

"Now we look into the rearview mirror
And wonder what to do"

Bingo! That says it for me.

Thanks, PD. I think our experience in the LC is ripe for poetry, songwriting, comedy, literature even. Hey, maybe someone should write a film script about "these forty years."

The other day, after listening to this song, I was inspired to write a little verse. My poem is not worthy of a place on Youtube, but I thought maybe I could share it here.

Through the fire
The precious stones are shining

Through the fire
The Refiner's hand is on the gold

Through the fire
A story's told in dancing color

Through the fire
New growth emerges from the old.

Great song, heartfelt and genuine. Singing all those "Oh-o-oh, Oh-oh"s, it sounded like you were speaking to me, calling my name "O-hi-o." Anyways, it's a song I need to learn. Focusing on the bad, doesn't help the future. Stealing another's tag, "only in Christ Jesus is there hope for us all."

SC,

Thanks for this. Brought tears to my eyes! I appreciated very much the concluding verse: "After all these years Lord You have loved us,,,,,, and we still love You". Is it not His mercy that we can still say such words. The bottom line for our times I think. We still love Him, because He still loves us!

I hope we can heed the Apostle John and not deceive ourselves; that we still can say we love God, and we do not hate our brothers. It may be such a time in history for us to realize John's ministry more than ever before.

Thanks brother.
