Ruach Breath Of Life

With all that is going on in the world - quite apart from whatever we may be going through in our own lives - there are plenty of reasons for heads to hang low. I wrote this piece of music for just such times, to encourage us to lift our eyes toward the coming King. I was inspired by John’s vision of ‘a door standing open in Heaven’ at the beginning of Revelation 4, which is when he heard a voice calling to him to ‘Come up here,’ and was privileged to see and experience the glories of the Heavenly Kingdom, as well as to glimpse the far-reaching events that were soon to take place on Earth. For us too, there is a call to come up higher to see and know such things as the Lord desires to show and lead us into – things that are sure to transform our understanding and our prayers. So much changes when we share God’s perspective! A big thank you to Nicola Gerrard (flute), Cathie Muncie (viola) Thomas and Julia Herzog, (Oboe and recorder) Heather Bradley (violin) and Sally Prittie (piano) for their beautiful play
