then sings my soul: prayer through songs at the piano with Lan Davis Wilson

The Zeitcast with Jonathan Martin

I don't really have the words to name the electricity, joy and pain that we felt in the room at Gobin Church during this time of prayer through song with Rev. Lan Davis Wilson. I'd rather you feel it for yourself--feel it through your headphones, feel it through your car stereo, feel it through a tiny phone or a laptop. It is an absolute lightning bolt of Holy Ghost power, wrapping up all heartbreak, rage and stubborn hope into an hour that quite literally, left every single one of us sitting in stunned silence when it was over. There is so much room in these songs...room, for ALL OF IT.

If you are trying to figure out what role worship has in your life, in your work of faithful resistance; if you are sad or happy or completely ambiguous, if you need comfort or if you need fuel for the fire, if you have a pulse or breath at all...this is for you. Personally, I can tell you I wept through just about every moment of this. Drink it up, let the music nourish you, and if you feel so inclined, send it to somebody who needs this kind of soulful encouragement in their life right now. Warmly, Jonathan
