On the weekend I made a simple computer recording of "There is a Thin Place" - a song I wrote with David MacGregor last year. It is meant to be in the style of Taize, a simple melody with the option to add vocal harmonies and instrumental parts as the song evolves. The wonderful Amelia Koh-Butler provided the vocal. Please have a listen. The song is in my book "Deeper Water", including the vocal and instrumental arrangements. Right-click or Control-click to download the mp3 file. Two lyric videos.
There is a thin place
where heaven touches earth
and promises find birth
Be this our place today
There is a thin place
where all Creation sings
and hearts with longing ring
Be this our place today
There is a thin place
where someone lost is found
and futures are unbound
Be this our place today
There is a thin place
where grieving is released
and sorrowers find peace
Be this our place today
There is a thin place
where we are touched by fire
revived by God’s desire
Be this our place today
There is a thin place
where people gather round
we stand on holy ground
Be this our place today
