Yesterday's worship set at New Hope included our version of "Nothing But the Blood" sung by our praise team with Juliet singing the verses and all of us singing the chorus.
During rehearsal, Bunny and Amy were in tears just thinking about the words to that old hymn. Bunny took some time to explain to the team (made up mostly of youth and kids) just what meaning the words have and should have for all of us regardless of age.
While we were singing the song, I was filling in on rhythm guitar and my son Sean was doing an amazing job with an innovative and emotional lead. He really is an amazingly talented guitarist who rarely gets a chance to show what he can do. It was so special to be sharing that moment with him.
I looked out over the congregation, and they were caught up in the power of the song as well. Maybe, just maybe, we can navigate the troubled waters of worship music as a congregation and not just make it through - but grow closer to God and each other while doing it.
What a blessing.
