Should I go with Christmas music?
I did that last year and my friend Amy is doing a real good job on her blog on that anyway.
Should I go with the current Top 40 hit that has a lot of backstory but also some depth when you consider its message?
Maybe another day.
Well, what about something related to my sermon, which was on prayer?
There's not a whole lot that comes to mind (at least my mind), at least currently.
Sidetrack - I find it very fascinating how some old-school artists often made prayer a topic.
Petra, Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman...probably not a statement against current artists, just interesting.
Anyway, instead of going all-in about those old-school artists of the 70's, 80's, and 90's, I came across the selection below from a classic Christian artist and I knew this was it.
To my chagrin, Keith Green hasn't been featured on this blog. Green was a force of nature in the early days as Christian music was becoming an industry. You can read his story here, but he was a prophetic voice who was passionate about waking up the church and calling people to Jesus. He was a talented artist with a litany of great songs despite having a short career.
Technically though, this song was written by his wife. And it is a beautiful song of dedication and prayer:
Keith Green was cut from a different cloth than what you'll find these days. A man who had a different perspective and who passionately was calling us all to something better.
