Thank God
This is a raw live recording of a song we wrote earlier this year, here is the mp3 and the chart… Enjoy!
Ode 11
This song is from the ancient Odes of Solomon. Let it inspire you with it’s beauty like it inspired and is inspiring me.
1 My heart was cloven and its flower appeared; and grace sprang up in it: and it brought forth fruit to the Lord, 2 For the Most High clave my heart by His Holy Spirit and searched my affection towards Him: and filled me with His love. 3 And His opening of me became my salvation; and I ran in His way in His peace even in the way of truth: 4 from the beginning and even to the end I acquired His knowledge: 5 And I was established upon the rock of truth, where He had set me up: 6 And speaking waters touched my lips from the fountain of the Lord plenteously: 7 And I drank and was inebriated with the living water that doth not die; 8 And my inebriation was not one without knowledge, but I forsook vanity and turned to the Most High my God, 9 And I was enriched by His bounty, and I forsook the folly which is diffused over the earth; and I stripped it off and cast it from me: 10 And the Lord renewed me in His raiment, and possessed me by His light, and from above He gave me rest in incorruption; 11 And I became like the land which blossoms and rejoices in its fruits: 12 And the Lord was like the sun shining on the face of the land; 13 He lightened my eyes and my face received the dew; the pleasant odour of the Lord; 14 And He carried me to His Paradise; where is the abundance of the pleasure, of the Lord; 15 And I worshipped the Lord on account of His glory; and I said, Blessed, O Lord, are they who are planted in thy land and those who have a place in thy Paradise; 16 And they grow by the fruits of the trees. And they have changed from darkness to light. 17 Behold! all thy servants are fair, who do good works, and turn away from wickedness to the pleasantness that is thine: 18 And they have turned back the bitterness of the trees from them, when they were planted in thy land; 19 And everything became like a relic of thyself, and memorial for ever of thy faithful works. 20 For there is abundant room in thy Paradise, and nothing is useless therein; 21 But everything is filled with fruit; glory be to thee, O God, the delight of Paradise for ever. Hallelujah.
U2, No Line On The Horizon
After anticipating therelease for over a year now, the new U2 album, No Line On The Horizon, is finally here. This is definitely an album worth owning. It is one of those where you don’t even care what song comes on because they are all so enjoyable to listen to. As i listened to one of the songs, ‘Moment Of Surrender’ instantly it became more than just a casual listen but rather an experience. A line from the song has constantly been playing in my head like a broken record says:
At the moment of surrender,of vision over visibility, i did not notice the passers by, and they did not notice me.

Impending Poem
Impending defined is, about to happen. Our video is a poem of words and images. We felt very limited in our personal ability to accurately give convincing evidence to anyone, even slightly critical, that we could actually and permanently change the world. We opted to look back on history and observe how others have changed the world. We saw multiple situations where people have made a major difference in the world but by first changing themselves. This is something that is very obvious and fundamental. However, because we live in an age where we are bombarded with millions of factors of influence, we came to the conclusion that personal transformation is the ONLY thing that will enable us as Christians to invoke anything deeper than mere emotional influence or persuasion. We are called to make disciples and lead others to conformity to Christ therefore we must be conformed to Christ. This project has challenged us to examine ourselves, and what we really believe about our callings. The pattern given to us in the Bible always begins by introspection, and only then can we evolve into an exponential revolution. We wanted this video to be attractive to inquiring minds. We want it to invoke curiosity and not necessarily provide people with the same, cliché’ answers they have always heard. We wanted it to provoke people to discover their own answers. This is a video that must be watched multiple times to be understood, however, the video is merely a catalyst, the impending poem is our life song. Amen.
