The Scourging

A man...the Son of God...sacrifice...tortured...crucified...love poured out...for you and me.

...This is a visual art and music experience created by a group of artists from Madison Wisconsin.  I was invited to create a music piece on The Scourging of Christ.  The website is being finished.  In the meantime, you may click on the following link to listen to a two minute piece of  "The Scourging".

Tapestry

This song was inspired by two friends..one who said her life is but a weaving between God and her. Another wonders what her life has come to the older she gets...the disappointments loom. This picture of a tapestry came to mind to unfold stories in their hearts..in my heart as well. I believe God can use all things in our life including pain, suffering, heartache, mistakes...and use it for our good, the good of others and mostly for Him to be made known.  The artwork above is the song communicated on canvas board. 

Please click on the following link to listen to song...

Tapestry
From the backside of this tapestry you see tangled threads
Nothing but a mess
Knot upon knot you’re confused and lost
It’s not making sense
Wondering when you’ll get
to see the other side
of this tapestry, this tapestry, this tapestry

From the front side of this tapestry the colors tell a story
There’s movement forward
Stitch by stitch each one’s in place
The weaver knows what He is doing        
There is nothing to change
even from  the other side
of this tapestry, this tapestry, this tapestry of life

Bridge:
You don’t see
You don’t know
The big picture’s not always shown
but it’s making something beautiful
On the inside of your heart believes the best
There’s got to be a purpose
Knot upon knot you’re still confused and lost
What’s this story all about
Wondering when you’ll get to see other side
On this side of heaven

Oh this tapestry, this tapestry, this tapestry of life
