For #MusicMonday, heres Chris Tomlins Shepherd Boy, which RoG will be introducing this Youth Sunday. Chris Tomlin gives a bit of a backstory to this moving song: The song was written with Martin Smith (Delirious?), Chris shares. When he came to me with those lyrics, it was everything I wanted to say. I’m no hero of the faith/I’m not as strong as I once thought I was/Just a shepherd boy singing to a choir of burning lights. I think people might think I have a special connection to God. I’m no hero. Obviously King David was out watching over his sheep, singing and pouring out to God long before he’s given a platform. And even when you have [a platform], you’re still just a shepherd boy, singing a song to God. To the people reading this, you are the burning lights. I’m hoping to sing over the people a song that will lift them up. There’s something special about music. (Citation below) RoG hopes the image of the shepherd boy will stir in you all the picture of the shepherds who were tending their flock on that night when the angels appeared with glad tidings of the Lord Jesus birth. All people -- even the shepherds in ancient Israel -- are called to great things for the Lord, and to glorify His Name! https://youtube/watch?v=t9kJAaGmyjc (To read the full article about Chris Tomlins album Burning Lights and the song Shepherd Boy, please see todayschristianmusic/artists/chris-tomlin/features/ccm-magazine-chris-tomlin-he-s-no-hero/)
