On-Repeat

What a mystery That You notice me And in a crowd of ten thousand You don’t miss a thing You Don’t Miss A Thing, from the Bethel Music album We Will Not Be Shaken

– Currently on repeat, Simplicity, from the Album The Art of Celebration I come with my broken song / To You the Perfect One / To worship You / In spirit and truth

Every trouble that you ever walk through Peace, my child, I am, I am fighting for you Lyrics from the Tenth Avenue North Song ‘ Fighting For You’, from the 2016 album Followers. Apt, for a returning Prodigal of sorts…

It feels like the sort of thing that one knows intuitively; that music and memory are inextricably linked. Finding out that there is a whole slew of science (Google search) that supports this is intensely gratifying, in the same way I imagine that someone who stumbles on a hastily put together recipe for quick delicious food must feel if that recipe ends up being celebrated by what I suppose is the more discerning palate of a Gordon Ramsey or a Jamie Oliver. Time and time again when I reflect on a song from yesteryear, I find that the where, who, what and when are indistinguishable from the song of the time, particularly where it was a song that I had on repeat for what feels in retrospect like days on end. ...

Finally pre-ordered the Let There Be Light album from which one of my favourite songs from this year’s Hillsong Conference comes. Ace!

Hold On, Be Strong… God’s got the final say #OnRepeat

Have had this on repeat for most of the week… #EarWorm

--- Healer of my brokenness My weary soul will find its rest You are my strength, the lifter of my head You’re greater than my yesterdays You hold me close today You’re the Lord of my tomorrows Mercy, from the Casting Crowns Album Until The Whole World Hears (2009)
