music

I am more convinced than ever that the human being is not distinct parts body, spirit, emotion, intellect. As much as those things are aspects of our persons, the lines are blurred. They intersect in ways that all are affected by each other.

Music has been very powerful for me in the last few weeks. It moves me emotionally and spiritually. It challenges me mentally. And I participate physically, through playing, singing, clapping, dancing, and other forms of motion which may or may not be rhythmic.

The lament last posted has transformed. It's pretty epic now. New words are as follows:

Instrumental

Verse 1

Streets run red with righteous blood

O Daughter of Jerusalem

The Lord became your enemy

Made your walls and gates lament

Instrumental

Verse 2

Woe to me for I have sinned

All that I had hoped is gone

I have been deprived of peace

The Lord has turned his face from me

Transition

Let us test our ways

Let us turn to God

Let us left our hearts

Repent and wait in silence

Pre-Chorus

Da-da-da dat-da-da-da

Dat-da-da-da

Da-da-da dat-da-da-da

Dat-da-da-da

Chorus 1 (x2)

God came down became a man

Would not leave us to die

But he took the wrath upon himself

Now we are alive

Bridge 1 (x4)

Gates rebuit

Hope restored

Pre-Chorus

Chorus 2 (x2)

Jesus rose up from the dead

Conquered Death and sin

The Spirit gives abundant life

Until he's back again

Bridge 2 (x4)

Jesus

Is coming back again

Hallelujah (x4)
