As someone embedded locally in, and theologically invested in, a Vineyard Church, I&#8217;m particularly encouraged when I see or hear things from that stable that point people to Jesus and speak truth in a creative way. Today, I want to share two songs that I&#8217;ve\u00a0<em>really<\/em> appreciated in recent times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_l6M3B47dkg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The first is from Vineyard Music Aotearoa NZ (The New Zealand\/Australian branch of the Vineyard movement), and is called &#8216;Sit at Your Feet&#8217;. In some ways, this is a difficult song to listen to &#8211; and as a non-musician, it is probably a difficult song to do &#8211; but I think there is beauty in it. Lyrically simple, musically haunting, and fundamentally directed to Jesus, I think this is a beautiful song.<\/p>\n<p>The second song is a bit different.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/foedee85CDk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I love the lyrics that open this song:<\/p>\n<p><em>In this world we will have trouble <\/em><br \/>\n<em>And our hearts will cry for home <\/em><br \/>\n<em>Jesus, how we long to see <\/em><br \/>\n<em>You See You seated on Your throne<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This is a song about hopeful waiting.<\/p>\n<p>This is a worship song that invites people even in the worst of times, into hope.<\/p>\n<p>The theology of the Kingdom of God is a beautiful thing &#8211; and part of the Kingdom of God, as understood and inaugurated by Jesus, is the real and sure and certain hope that\u00a0<em>the Kingdom is coming<\/em>. In tension with that, as we look around in this present age, we see that\u00a0<em>the Kingdom is not yet come<\/em>. This song, I think, aims to explore and inhabit the tension of these two positions.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of what I think &#8211; here are two good songs.<\/p>\n<p>Love to know your thoughts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From time to time I like to celebrate good examples of musical\/other worship, from different parts of the body of Christ.
