Mercy is the Name

Wed, 12 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Did some tracking on 'Mercy is the Name' tonight. I am very much looking forward to this song becoming. Creating something that has never been before is really a cool experience. We all do this multiple times a day, in almost everything we do. It seems we overlook the event unless we are focused on creating, like creating a song or painting. Even writing this journal is a creative work. This creativity and flowing in it is something deep within us. It comes from us like rivers. Question is, will our rivers pollute and cause sickness or will they be pure and nourishing?

Will keep you all posted on the development of "Mercy is the Name"

Blessings....

Well here is a plug for one of my favorite groups... The Lost Dogs. They'll be doing a concert at our church, Christ Community Church, in Camp Hill, PA, on May 18th at 7PM. It will be a really nice setting where you are close to the band. The atmosphere will be relaxed with lots of interaction with the band. The Lost Dogs are made up of Terry Taylor (Daniel Amos), Mike Rowe (The 77's), Derri Daughtery (The Choir) and Steve Hindalong (The Choir) who are some of the founders of contemporary Christian music.

Please don't forget Haiti

As the news reporters abandon Haiti and run to the latest world happening, please don't forget the people of Haiti. They are close neighbors, sisters and brothers. Please pray for them and give to organizations like Compassion and Samaritan's Purse who are working in the devastated areas. Compassion's website has some incredible stories on their blog from their relief workers and people who work at their project sites.

Day of new beginnings

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800

Well, here we are post-Christmas and post-New Year. It is a day of new beginning!

In November, at the Virginia Beach Power and Love conference, I met a little brother named Christopher. I promised his parents some healing music on the website. Sorry it is taking so long but this is the first installment of it! Hopefully, it is ok to share the song dedication with my little sister, Elena, too!

Last week or so, I started on a new song and while it is not settled yet, my understanding is getting stretched a bit by the concept. Central to the song is that Jesus' work reigns over anything and everything. Nothing about us can't be reconciled to God by Jesus' work. His work of the cross and His resurrection subjugate sin and death. Jesus is supreme over all - Col 1:15-23. My foundation in healing prayer is that Jesus is supreme over sickness and infirmity. They are subjugated to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. They are subjugated to the Christ in us.

With the second verse purposefully written in the present, this song also hints at the Paschal Mystery. As we remember and ponder the Passion of Christ, we take in the healing and resurrection. We take it into our own bodies. The power of Christ's work in us, revealing the glory of God. From the moment we receive the Gospel, we are given new life - one that starts now and continues into eternity, forever, with God. Hallelujah, Jesus. Your blood reigns over us.

Here are the words, so far.... (will post recording soon!)

I was lost.
My body broken.
I knew no peace,
knew no peace.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Your blood reigns over me.

On the cross,
Your body's broken
From the grave,
You arise,
Arise as King

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Your blood reigns over me.
