It
has seemed to me
that, after Easter, the churches I’ve attended moved directly to Paul
and the Acts of the Apostles. As a result, the events from after Jesus’
Crucification to His Ascension into Heaven have been somewhat dim in my
mind. I Googled a timeline of that period and tried to write songs
about it in sequential order. I skipped the soldiers reporting to the
priests, and the Holy Women meeting Jesus on the way back from the
tomb. During the nearly two years that I
worked on this, I found myself imagining what it must have been like to
see the risen Jesus, hear Him speak, to touch Him, and to sit down and
eat with Him. Once again my wavering faith was reinforced. I pray that
yours to
will be by hearing, playing, and singing this music.
