So Will put this together and then sent it out to the whole staff ... I was almost worried about worship and youth pitted against children, spiritual formation, and senior leadership ... almost ... but it's too funny to pass up. Cheers.
Jon did this piece at Crosswinds this past weekend, and I'd never heard it before. But it hit me hard, and I went home and bought it off of iTunes. I highly recommend you have a listen, it's quite a good piece. Lyrics are below.
Come close listen to the story About a love more faithful than the morning The Father gave His only Son just to save us
The earth was shaking in the dark All creation felt the Fathers Broken Heart Tears were filling Heaven's Eyes The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died When blood and water hit the ground Walls we couldn't move came crashing down We were free and made alive The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
Search your heart you know you can't deny it Come on, lose your life just so you can find it The Father gave His only Son just to save us
The Earth was shaking in the dark All creation felt The Fathers broken heart Tears were filling Heaven's Eyes The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com When blood and water hit the ground Walls we couldn't move came crashing down We were free and made alive The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
Now, Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive Jesus is alive Jesus is alive Jesus is alive Oh, He is alive He rose again
When blood and water hit the ground Walls we couldn't move came crashing down We were free and made alive The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
So my good friend Dan pointed out a way in which I could post an mp3 here on my blog. I've completed the audio demo that I've been working on. It's a song by Matt Redman called "Facedown." Enjoy!
Welcomed in to the courts of the King I've been ushered into your presence Lord I stand on your merciful ground Yet with every step tread with reverence
And I'll fall facedown As your glory shines around Yes I'll fall facedown As your glory shines around
Who is there in the heavens like you And upon the earth who's your equal You are far above you're the highest of heights We are bowing down to exalt you
And I'll fall facedown ...
So let your glory shine around! Let your glory shine around! King of glory here be found! King of glory!
Thanks to Dan for this amusing quiz. I suppose my results are moderately accurate, given that I've actually graduated and didn't die. I suppose the question remains, where is there a quiz to tell you your chances of getting a job AFTER seminary?
You're steady, organizes, and determined to achieve your dreams. You tend to play it conservative, going by the rules (at least the practical ones). You'll likely reach the top. And when you do, you'll be honorable and responsible. Focus on happiness. Don't let your goals distract you from fun! Don't be too set in your ways, and you'll be more of a success than you ever dreamed of.
You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.
You are definitely a gentleman. You're very considerate and you have excellent manners. Occasionally, you slip and do something foolish... but usually no one notices!
