Worship
This morning Kathryn and I were talking about the sound of the music in the Balkan region--about how there seems to be a desperation, anger, and urgency in the voices and instruments. And in the worship here, there is a tremendous sound of lamentation.
Matt Redman prays at the end of a song he wrote titled Can A Nation Be Changed, "Hear the cry of the desperate, Lord!" That is the essence of music here--cries of the desperate. That is why I often cry during worship--I'm not just playing notes on the cello and Neno is not just strumming chords on his guitar--our instruments and our voices are revealing the groanings of the Father for this land that are too deep for words.
