A Series of Words Behind the Sounds
I wanted to write a few entries on the stories/words behind some of my songs.
Entry 1- Heaven
“This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”-Matthew 6:9-10
When heaven invaded earth, the real Jesus encountered a broken world in need of healing and became the ultimate offering in order to unleash the atmosphere of heaven to all of our flawed, vile, dark humanity.
This is the mystery of the gospel and the cross. It’s the wonder that is the miracle.
A king left his throne and wrapped himself in flesh and became one of us, to suffer the most agonizing death in order that He might unlock the power of the kingdom of heaven and make a way for us to have access to the unstoppable nature of who He is.
He is life and where He is life springs up out of dead places. He loves to make dead, hopeless things beautiful. He loves to revive and restore. He is Emmanuel, God with us.
We are sons and daughters of this heavenly kingdom. We have the authority to speak to the darkness and to make the darkness flee. Where there is light darkness has to die.
In heaven there is no sorrow, there is no pain, there is no suffering. There is only peace and joy. So may we be the bold couriers of this living gospel message. Wherever our feet tread may we spread these sounds of heaven. May we see our churches and cities encounter the real Jesus and with that encounter may we see heaven invade this planet and heal this broken world. I’m not looking for just another touch I’m just looking for the real Jesus. Be the hope.
Heaven fall down on me!
The Dreamers Collective
I have been a journey for some time now, trying to discover fresh ways to express what worship really is. I am enamored with art. Art is so powerful. It has shapes and changes history. I love even how in Revelations while John is mesmerized by this vision the way he explains things are through very vivid visuals.
Words are so powerful and prophetic, but some times we get so caught up in what is being said, that we miss the whole message. Sometimes it is a beautiful thing for us to shut up and to just be silent and to allow space for God to speak.
I wanted to release The Sounds-The Instrumentals as it’s own piece because I believe there is something so healing in music. There are certain composers that have been able to capture a story in their compositions that express hate, love, joy, and triumph all from their melodic tones with no words needing to be said. I believe there is unmistakable power in words, but I also believe there is undeniable beauty in the music we make. I wanted this to be a piece so that you could use it as a tool in your prayer time or quite time to allow the music to take you on a journey and to see healing flow.
I also wanted to start a visual conversation. We’re calling it the Dreamers Collective.
I am calling out all the dreamers. Painters, Graphic designers, dancers, poets, spoken word, videographers any expression of art. I would love for you to listen to the Instrumentals and to express yourself visually with your art in what you feel and see. I would love for us to compose our own visual worship collective and allow that to unlock our worship to the world.
Dream on!
