Singing Hope
written at Thursday, April 30, 2009
He came singing love
And he lived singing love
He died singing love
He arose in silence
For the love to go on
We must make it our song
You and I be the singers
This is a song that I came across after last nights session on "worship" with Dr Simon Chan.
Through the resurrection and the ascension into heaven, Christ passed his song of love and hope on to us. We must sing it loudly and clearly, especially in the most difficult times. We must blossom the brightest when heat, oppression and fear abound. That is the message of Christ. That is the song of Christ. Then we become like a tree planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. We are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Our leaves stay green, and they go right on producing delicious fruit.

Knowing
What matters supremely, therefore, is not
in the last analysis, the fact that I know God,
but the larger fact which underlies it --
the fact that He knows me.
J. I. Packer
