One of the most powerful songs the Lord has given Linda emerged out of a tongue she sang as a small group of us prayed in the New Year well over thirty years ago. It came in the form of an exquisitely beautiful tongue. Many months later the Lord gave the words. They refer to many stirring episodes: from the angel of the Lord finding Hagar in the desert after she was chased from her home right through the birth of Jesus (and the danger that followed that) to the certain plans of God for Israel despite their chequered past and many wanderings. It is a truly anointed offering from the Lord. I played this piece during an intercession time in Jersey as an aid to draw us into praying for the tens of thousands of Iraqis and others displaced by IS who are literally fleeing for their lives in ways so reminiscent of Hagar and other tragic episodes in the history of the region. May its power and beauty draw you close to the Lord, and perhaps inspire you to find creative ways to draw others close too.
