I love how a figurative door can open and I suddenly realize there was a room on the other side I didn't know existed until that moment. That's what happened last week when I was asked to blog for the Presbyterian Record's online presence. The website has been renovated and now, under the "Blogs" tab on the main page, you will find a sub-heading "Affiliated blogs". That's where you will find my pieces as well as those of other affiliated bloggers. I am grateful for this opportunity that has come my way! I haven't quite figured out the best way to post. Should I write one post for both places? Maybe it would be better to write separate entries for here and there. Whatever way I work it out you can be sure that I will continue to invite (and welcome!) your comments in either place. I will continue to express opinions on music - worship music most of the time - and hopefully relate life to faith and music.
So what song has been going through my head today? The song it seemed I dreamt all last night: By faith we see the hand of God, a new hymn (2009) by Stuart Townend, Keith Getty and Kristyn Getty. If I had to summarize it, I'd say the text was Hebrews chapter 11 set to a very singable tune which is exactly what I've come to expect from this writing team. You can read the text and download the music by going here. Better yet, you can hear it at Gettymusic.

I just noticed today that the story behind the hymn is in a right hand side bar on the Gettymusic site. They indicate in the write up that the hymn IS based on Hebrews 11. I think it's a testament to their text writing that I recognized that before reading the history!
I love their hymns! As you said, AuntE, they are very singable but also their words are always so full of the truth of God's Word. We sing them often at our church.
Also sending you a hearty congratulations on a new open door!
Thank you Dorothy!
