Happy Friday everyone! First off, the big news…my family welcomed our third child and first son, Angus, to the world this week! He came out happy and healthy, and mama is recovering well. Song of the Week: “All Hail”While I was searching my archives for a song to share with you this week (it wasn’t exactly easy to write a tune in the maternity ward!), I found this beautiful gem from 2019. It caught my attention for a few reasons. One, you can hear our eldest daughter as an infant squeaking quite prominently throughout the recording, which of course made me quite sentimental, given how she’s grown up to be such a mature big sister! But sometimes when you find an old tune, it’s like running into an old friend. Parts of yourself that you forgot about return in a rush; feelings and thoughts that used to be regular and habitual remind you that you’ve been elsewhere for quite some time. With this tune, which sits somewhere between hymn and secular song, I was clearly wrestling with some questions about how the story of God’s people unfolds in history; where it started, where it is, where it’s going; all the many solutions attempted and aborted by mankind, always repetitively vain in spite of the best intentions and illusion of novelty; and through all this, God is with us in His grace, making lemonade from lemons.
