The Simple Way
A couple of weeks ago, Paul (one of our preachers) asked if iโd like to share a song thatโs on my heart before his sermon (which was yesterday). Itโs not a full band song, but one where i accompany a single singer, a prayerful and reflective song. My first thoughts were โOh yeah iโd love to go up to the front and terrify myself while i share some words and try to play a songโ. So i said โYes iโd love tooโ. He said โGreat, the theme is unityโ.ย
As i went away i said โWow, thank you Lordโ as for nearly 2 months now iโve been doing a personal daily expositional bible study on Ephesians 4 & 5, which is all about unity. Verses suddenly flooded my mind about unity in the Spirit through the bond of peace, unity in the faith, unity in the body and on and on they came. I started getting excited and thought instead of sharing a song, iโd share all of the things iโd been learning for about 6 hours instead! lol. ๐
Then the more sobering verses and thoughts came along…
โIf we are without Hope and without God (Ephesians 2:12), and if we are not growing in the knowledge and understanding of Christ, if Jesus isnโt the head, and if He is not leading the way, then unity is IMPOSSIBLE!โ Jesus who is The Way, The Truth and The Life, simply said “FOLLOW ME!โ.ย
โ Song “The Simple Wayโ by Sara Sargent
I then went to ask my loving sister in Christ Sara if she would bless us with her beautiful voice while i accompany her on acoustic guitar, and to maybe show me some of the songs she had written but kept quiet. So last week Sara came and showed me โThe Simple Wayโ, wow! ๐
This is a short section of the song which i recorded on my iPhone as i was learning the guitar chords. The quality isnโt brilliant, but i hope you too are blessed by Saraโs beautiful voice.ย
