Here is another piece that I wrote in 2017, but have only published years later. It is another exploration in G, but this time it is expressed on my Yamaha nylon string Silent Guitar (SLG11N). We have created a new category called “Somewhat Undercooked” for pieces like this; they needed a little more work, but are going to be put out there a little underdone. It’s okay, lots of life it like that. I like to do things well, but sometimes you have to give your offering away “as is”, and this is such a piece.
Jesus said that if we follow him the burdens of life would be light. He claimed that we can pull the heavy loads in life easily – with him alongside. Sadly, many (most?) of us Christians find that the travelling is hard and heavy – somehow we haven’t travelled in this “light” way. This song is one that points to the hope of Resting in the journey, of finding the “unforced rhythms of grace”. Perhaps as you listen, you may hear a whisper … “peace dear heart …come apart and rest awhile”.
