I have been singing again…

In the studio today working alongside Chris Rosser, producer and musician extraordinaire.  It was so good to see him.

Tracey Schmidt, poet and photographer, had asked me to do some vocals on her first poetry album; I was honoured.  Honoured to meet this gentle spirit, honoured to be a part of her project.

And here we are, in the studio, recording again….

Tracey speaks of the relationship between pain and joy, suffering and restoration.  She uses the words reconciliation.   My heart is beginning to understand this language.

I have been in the midst of pain and joy, all intertwined together.  I have been living this.  And I know many, many others who live in this strange place of grief and elation, agony and freedom on a much deeper level than I ever will… My pain can never compare to the intensity of their daily suffering…

I try to communicate that in what I sing today.  Tracey asks me to sing Dle Yaman.  I am moved that she wants to use this song on her album.

Tracey mentions the word Home.

I love that word.

One day we will be Home.

We end our session on a joyful note… during the last song of the afternoon, I feel like I am swelling, overflowing, outpouring with joy… I imagine myself flying, climbing up, up, up and then floating fearlessly, joyously, bursting with delight…  dancing at the feet of my Saviour.

Tears wiped away, pain healed, Jehovah Rapha is here.

Reconciled. Restored.

Home.
