So Sarah Kaye asked me this week if I had written any new songs lately. I said no. They seem to come in waves, I'm not really sure why. I was reading some verses in Luke though, specifically about the prodigal son, and I had some instant inspiration for a new tune. In my mind it was kind of a blend between being welcomed home by the Father and receiving the ring, the robe, and the shoes while at the same time being romanced by the one who knows me better than I know my self.   Hmm...the Christian story seems a little incestuous at times doesn't it? Yet the image of the Father's love and the image of a Husband's love are just mere glimpses into the depth of what his affections are for us, his relentless pursuit of us and his constant faithfulness to us.

 

Anyway, below is a video of a few of us at El Puente singing the new song, "Follow You Some More."   The improptu version was so much better, and funnier, but we still decided to reenact our musical antics for your viewing pleasure.

 

Clothe me with a robe of splendor / Place your ring on my finger / So all can see that I belong to you / My heart is at your door / Bring me to your house / Sweep me up and gently set me down / Before a meal like I have never known / Your love is now my home / Walk with me a while / Lead me down the paths I never found / When I was on my own / Now I'm yours / I'll follow you some more / And when I find I'm wandering away / I will look down remember how you placed upon my feet / Shoes that I may walk right back to you / And I'll follow you some more....
