Life Divine

This is a song... I'm not sure how congregational in nature it is - I have been in a 7 year dry-spell in regards to songwriting and I figured that starting somewhere is better than allowing the dry-spell to continue.

Partly based on Psalm 19 this song contains Truths that have captured my soul and spirit and the EB course has only deepened the sense of awe that surrounds God's revelation of who He is and what He's done through Jesus Christ.

The idea that creation calls out in praise and adoration with no voice and that we as an image bearers can give voice and understanding to those calls as well as our own is absolutely mind blowing! Further still, the hope found in Jesus Christ and the coming of His Kingdom to Earth in the now and the not yet sets my heart leaping.

In alignment with the "we-ness" and relationship found in worship discussed in EB- this song is a collaboration with a few of my dearest "peeps". The chord progression is from the creative spillings of my sweet friend Jackie Anthony and my wonderful husband Paulo (he's also playing the piano in the recording). The lyrics are my own and the melody a co-labor of my husband and I.

These lyrics could be set to melody as I have tried to do but could also be used as a declaration of praise spoken individually and/or as a group. If anything it has served to tap into my creativity and my hope is that in some way it could be used to captivate someone else's heart as well.
