The Good Purpose

History

For Sandi and me, music is interwoven through all our life together – especially through our marriage and our Christian discipleship. And just as we sometimes flub notes and sing sharp or flat, we’re far from perfect in everything else. We’re just hanging in there doing our best with God’s help. But it’s important to us that we never take for granted our ability to make music in honor of the Lord Jesus Christ. It’s an amazing privilege.

Lyrics

Me and you, you and me chasing the dream 

Given a song to sing

Follow’g the Author of dreams and of music and life

We won’t pretend that we know

We’re just making it up as we go

Carried along on the wind of the Spirit of truth and of love

(chorus) Working out our salvation with fear, trembling and music

And like the stars in the heavens we’ll shine 

For we know the good purpose is divine

Hearts full to bursting with joy and with tune, bodies minds come along to play

The muse leaves too soon and we always have so much to say

Labor’g with voice and with strings

Till revealed is the fruit hard work brings

Taking the word like communion upon humble tongues, we dare to praise

(chorus)

Oo oo oo

La la la

Working out our salvation with fear, trembling and music

Spinning around on the Great Potter’s wheel

Hoping to take His shape

Yielding our clay ‘neath the hand of the Artist’s embrace

Uncomfortable in our own sin

We long for a change deep within

Lifting our song like a prayer like a plea for a touch, a touch of grace

(chorus)
