Day 433: Blessed Assurance

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born in His spirit, washed in His blood

This is my story
This is my song
Praising my Savior
All the day long

Perfect submission, perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love

This is my story
This is my song
Praising my Savior
All the day long

Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love

Beautiful words, hey? This is one of the songs the band I'm part of will be performing. The challenge is to take a song and rearrange the music in the style of a completely different styled artist. In this case, it's a hymn done in the style of an artist named Jonsi, who is the lead singer of an Icelandic band called Sigur Ros. I can't really describe what this sounds like, but I can tell you that it's sounding excellent. The creative meeting was great too; we pretty much have the month of April scheduled, so it's going to be awesome. Wednesdays are one of the fuller days, but when it's this good I don't mind it at all.

God bless,
Steven
