I just noticed that I wrote this song almost exactly one year ago. We write, and it comes back to us.
“Just wrote this, from the gut and as a personal prayer, here in Kelowna, BC on a late night.
It was born as a personal prayer in what is a challenging season, for hearing a Voice beyond ourselves, and being awake to the next moment of choice.
In many ways, it feels like a song about the Church in an emerging world (I’d change it to “we” language), and our quest to follow in the midst of the tumult. Could we indeed dream again in the midst of such radical cultural challenges the Church is facing?
In the last lyric, the “vision” can be two-fold – the personal whispers of God to you about your life and vocation, or the vision of the New Creation to come to compels us to continue forward as followers of Christ.
Below the vid is the chart and lyrics, and feel free to use it can serve your journey with God as well.”
