Psalms 60 and 108 [Gird Up]

These two psalms overlap with a number of common verses, so I combined them into one track. The unique verses in Psalm 108 seemed to require a fresh and distinct musical section, hence the reggae (with photos of friends from my Jamaican chapter), after which the shared verses from Psalm 60 warranted a return to the previous setting, but a new tempo to set it apart from the first iteration. I hope you like it. Right now this is the leading candidate for the opening track on the forthcoming Revenant Psalms, Vol. IV.

A good reminder after any election, whatever the result

Another new track and video are in the pipe, but this 30+ year-old offspring came to mind this morning. It debuted through the Late Late Service (in something called the rolling magazine tent, if memory serves) at the Greenbelt Festival in 1993. I'm still so very grateful for the use of Andy Thornton's Jump Studio and his patient mixing and his generous addition of the ethereal speech tracks. We are made in the image of God, and the referent for that, we now know, is the Word of God. Among many other things, we are speech creatures or language animals as Charles Taylor puts it. Enjoy.
