Twice recently (here and here) I have blogged about "Psalm 20," the song by Eternity on their Light of the World album. What I have not made public is that I have been personally connected to the director/founder of the group, Joe, my whole life. My parents were members of Eternity in their newlywed days and I myself was a member for a short time. Light of the World came out when I was a kid. I've known those songs for a very long time. We had it on vinyl at my house, and dad made a cassette tape to take in the car. Both of those technologies are long since past their relevance, so I had not heard that music at all in the last 10 years, at least.
About 2 years ago I got the mp3 files from the director/founder of the group who is someone I still know and see. I loaded them onto my computer, but I hadn't really listened to them much until a few months ago. Now I'm being blessed by it more than I ever thought possible.
Tonight I saw Joe. I had to tell him about how God has used that music that he produced all those years ago is currently touching my heart. I couldn't tell him about it without crying, and now "Psalm 20" is in my head again. It's not the music that gets me. It's the complex vocals and the TEXT! It's glorious! And it's in 6/8 meter, which is my all-time favorite. So catchy.

I love your passion for music, Karen! And I love to hear God working in your life! Awesome!
You know, the more I think about it, and experience it in my life, I know for a fact that God has used music as His link to my heart. It's supernatural, and I can't separate myself from music, nor God from music. It's like the glue that keeps me stuck to Him. Praise the Lord!
