At the end of September, Steve, a regular commenter on this blog, sent me a link to a YouTube video he thought I would enjoy. How right he was! I don’t know how many times I’ve viewed this video since watching it for the first time — it’s a lot. I thought others might like to see it.
So here is Kevin Prosch, singing Harp In My Heart. It’s really quite beautiful. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
I am seriously out of touch with what is going on in the modern worship scene. So if people have any others to suggest I look at, I would be very grateful — Use the Contact Form, or leave a Comment, please. Spam filters will probably have a wobbly if you add more than a couple of links to a comment. I may well add a few more to the blog like this over time.
And set all your people free to praise you in Christ our Lord. It’s really heartbreaking to think of the huge numbers of people around the world who aren’t free to praise God. There are far too many people who risk their very lives by continuing to praise and worship God.
I am so fortunate, living, as I do, in the United Kingdom. For me, I have a real choice in whether I do praise and worship God, or not. The little misunderstanding, and mickey taking, I might face because of my Christian faith is nothing in comparison to the persecution some face. There are people who put their very lives on the line to attend a Church service. The classic line from Wayne’s World springs to mind when I think of those people, “we’re not worthy” — I am not worthy!
The Third Sunday of Epiphany
God of all mercy,
your Son proclaimed good news to the poor,
release to the captives,
and freedom to the oppressed:
anoint us with your Holy Spirit
and set all your people free
to praise you in Christ our Lord. Amen.
