Sometimes a song is more than melody. Sometimes it can embody our best expressions, and our best emotions. A song that means something to you has the abilty to lift you higher, make colors more colorful, and make you glad for the moment.
This Feb 10 I will have beeen gone from our church of 14 years for 6 months. I know..I keep telling myself I'll write about it sometime.
Two of our band members, husband and wife guitar and keyboard, attend this church still. ONE ACCORD was a band before I attended "our" church, and has never been comprised soley of people who attended that church, although at one time as many as 4 out of 5 of us attended that same church. Now 3 of us don't, including 2 of us who used to. While ONE ACCORD was always a seperate entity, those of us who attended the same church also put our talents to use within the "church band". Our current drummer in the band left the church several years ago, and with my leaving this last August, I understand the "church band" is not what it used to be. There is a cohesiveness that comes from years of playing together, as well as talent, that is not easily replaced.
It is hard to leave a church where you have put so much time and effort into building something.
This week at band practice the two ONE ACCORD members who are still attending there were lamenting how much the church had changed, and how the music had changed with it. I looked at the drummer and said "lets play one for old times sake". We began playing a rendition of Psalm 3 that was a favorite at church, and the biggest smile broke out on our sister as she played keyboard, and I am certain she had tears in her eyes. It is a good song. A song I had not played in 6 months, and a song that felt good to play.
The enitire practice in fact was very good, and another songe we are very excited about is an original we have made available as a free download at our music store. The song is called "Trust and Believe", and all who read are welcome to it....FREE! Scroll down the list of original songs until you get to it, and if you have time listen to samples of the others.
In this time of seeking where the Lord would have our family become part of an assembly ONE ACCORD is a personal retreat that I thank God for.
"Trust and Believe" by ONE ACCORD is written by Gabriel Hoskins, and arranged by ONE ACCORD.
ONE ACCORD is a music ministry dedicated to the Gospel of Love and Peace -
the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
