songs go around, come around
When I opened my Inbox this morning I found three different messages (from three different people) with stories of how a song of mine has touched them or proven useful to their community.
An online devotional reflecting on the text of “You’re Not Alone,” and the experience of singing (and hearing/receiving) it in the company of many others… a pastor sharing a sermon structured around the refrain “When You Learn To Follow Jesus (You Will Act A Little Strange)… and another pastor looking forward to singing “New World Coming” with her congregation, as she prepares to preach an apocalyptic text…
All this, as I continue to ruminate on the sermon that I heard at yet another church last Sunday, which has sparked at least 2 or 3 new song ideas that I am looking forward to delving into…
Amazing how this works… reminds me of the “water cycle” (or “carbon cycle” or “nitrogen cycle”) depicted in my son’s science textbooks… what goes around comes around… maybe we can call it the “inspiration cycle”…
