New songs for worship, rich in Christian theology. Contemporary hymns, psalms, songs of lament and praise written by members of the Louisville, KY-based Sojourn Community.
From “The Great Divorce” by C.S. Lewis:
“Every poet and musician and artist, but for Grace, is drawn away from love of the thing he tells, to love of the telling till, down in Deep Hell, they cannot be interested in God at all but only in what they say about Him. For it doesn’t stop at being interested in paint, you know. They sink lower—become interested in their own personalities and then in nothing but their own reputations.”
A sobering thought indeed. The spector of misplaced priorities looms large and, as in every other situation in life, the only thing for the Christian — artist or not — to do is to stay beneath the cross of Christ.
