My dear brothers and sisters, this is the 4th. Week of Lent and the song for this podcast is, ‘Keep Watch With Me’. When I first wrote this song it didn’t end with, ‘Keep Watch With Me’, but it continued with a short talk and then right into the Last Words of Jesus, in the song, ‘Father, Forgive Them’. It was written actually as a meditative piece, a prayer in music form, for Holy Week. And even though it was copyright, it was not complete because this piece was never recorded, until now. Only now it will be a two part prayer in music form, this week, ‘Keep Watch With Me’, and next week when it continues into, ‘Father, Forgive Them’. Holy Week for me was always a haunting deep in my soul longing to come alive in me. These two songs came alive through my meditation during Lenten season one year. Again it was during the weekly Holy Spirit Breakfast with Father Bill and Sister Bernadette, who’s teachings on the Holy Bible truly were powerful and deeply heartfelt. If I haven’t shared my feelings of them before, I’m sharing it right now, these two Holy people of God, are Saints who walked among us, and brought those of us who were there at the Holy Spirit Breakfast and are still here on earth, to Jesus. My sisters and my brothers, ‘Keep Watch with Me’ is a deep soul searching prayer. Imagine yourself knowing that you will be going through torture, but, you’re nearly to the point of extreme physical and or mental fatigue. A condition that I can’t even begin to comprehend, this is a heart heart wrenching condition.
