We are excited to release this brand new modern hymn from writers Matt Papa and Stuart Townend, “Forever Jesus.” Stuart Townend, co-author of "Forever Jesus", writes: Little did we know, when we were crafting the last verse of this new hymn, how relevant the lyric would be to the times we are living in: “My final breath shall be forever Jesus When shadows lengthen before my eyes; My Lord and Friend, companion through the valley When dearest ones are left behind, His hand will lead me to the light.” Not only are so many of us facing the prospect of battling this awful virus that has claimed so many lives already. But loved ones, relatives and friends are literally having to "be left behind" as the ill are taken into hospital, because of the dangers of passing on the virus. How important, then, to be reminded that Christ is there to "lead us to the light" - whether that is the light of eventual recovery, or (and this is the reality) the light of His eternal presence. Perhaps we are not keen to be reminded of the awfulness of the times in which we live in a song! But to know that we are completely held in His loving arms, and guided by His all-powerful hand, is so vital for every single one of us right now.

What does Jesus tell us about himself in John chapter 10? Who is the shepherd? Who is the door/gate? I am the good shepherd. I am the door. What about the sheep? Who are the sheep? Mark Jasper, Pastor of Campbeltown Community Church, continues in this series in the gospel of John. Music intro ‘And can it be’ by Charles Wesley.

Although their line-up reflects most modern bands, with guitars, vocals, bass, drums and keyboards - their musical roots extend down to the great hymn writers of Scotland’s past.The lyrics are poetic, hopeful, and unapologetically Christian, invoking former ages in church music, when songs were used to teach as well as challenge and inspire Lyrics - You're the shepherd, we're the sheep You won't slumber, though we sleep Oh what love our saviour shows To the little ones he knows We are guilty, You are good We fell short, but You withstood For Your father's holy name You endured and overcame We were helpless in our sin You forgave and took us in Though our hearts still turn from You Yet with patience You pursue You're the teacher, we are taught By Your precious blood we're bought You're the healer we are healed By Your cross our hope is sealed We're forgiven by Your blood Orphans called as sons of God Brought from darkness into light Washed in red and clothed in white Yours the triumph, Yours the throne Praise and glory, Yours alone Tongues of angels, songs of men Let the heav'ns resound again 2012 Greg De Blieck CCLI - 6467931 Performed by Steph Macleod and Ellyn Oliver Words & Music: Greg de Blieck Piano: Robin MacLelland Accordion: Gary Innes Guitar: Steph Macleod
