INTO YOUR DEATH
Into your death we go
into your life we grow
Feed us with your body and blood
so we grow to be like Jesus, be like you
1. I know the night is dark
I know the way is long
Fill us with your Spirit of light
so we keep on shining, Jesus, shining in you
2. You know that we are small
you know that we are weak
Fill us with your Spirit of hope
so we keep on hoping, Jesus, hoping in you
3. So many live in pain;
others are trapped by fear.
Fill us with your Spirit of love
so we keep on loving, Jesus, loving in you

1985. The paradox of Christianity again: we get life by going into death, following Jesus. Over and over we try to sweeten the message, make it more palatable, don't talk about death or blood. But this is the only way. The opening melody of the chorus is pinched, almost intentionally, from the great Cold Chisel song "Saturday Night". (and so I like to do it at a similar speed to that song, relaxed. But many like to do it faster — that works OK too) |

Back from a Break
During September, Dorothy and I travelled
to Norway and the UK.
After long flights
- Adelaide to Melbourne,
Melb to Dubai (14 hrs),
Dubai to Oslo (7 hrs) -
we did Norway in a nutshell
from Oslo to Bergen, then
the Hurtigruten Cruise
up the west coast of Norway
and back again.
Then an 8 day Trafalgar tour
and 4 days in London,
before taking the direct flight
(16 3/4 hrs)
from Heathrow to Perth.
We're a bit tired (!) but we'll still be a part
of the LWA convention and the
General Convention .
See some of you there.
