“I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.” – John 10:10

Every day one of my goals is to communicate something of the wonder and the joy and the grace that is life. It is why I have this blog.

And by “the grace that is life” I mean the fullness, the completeness, the “more and better life” experience of abundance that Jesus talked about in John 10:10.

Mostly I do this by writing and by teaching. I also enjoy taking photographs and sharing them as an additional way to communicate my essential message.

Then, and very rarely, God will generously gift me with a song. A new song happened this week, and it honestly caught me by surprise.

Here it is, still a work in progress but I am pleased with the melody, with the chords and the harmonic structure for the guitar, as well as the way the words capture some of what I believe to be true about God. The text is pasted into this post below the video.

(Apologies for the unbuttoned shirt, but it was a practice run that went well, then I ran out of time to do it again!)

I love to sing about salvation
I love to talk about God's goodness above
To share the good news affirmation
The Jesus story of grace and love
It's why we live...

And Jesus is God's invitation
To join in with God's promise of love
Grace peace reconciliation 
Light and mercy from above
It's how we live...

It's all about the journey home
About God's reconciling love
With Jesus on the road to lead us
   It's what we do
   It's what we show by our song...
   It's what we sing as our song

I love to sing about salvation....
