The past two weeks have been hard in our community. In the midst of chaos, violence, and uncertainty Lissette and I offered Embrace a song of hope. In their song, "Free," Gungor expresses our mix of emotions and feeling--painful grief coupled with strange hope.
"There's a world at war
Caught in suffering
Silent casualties
Oh, God, grant us peace
In these sleepless nights
I can hardly breathe
Despite brutality
I know that we'll be free
I know that we'll be free."
I am proud of Lissette. These words are all-too-personal for her. Through her struggle and pain she's holding on to hope. Please watch the recording from Monday night's service at Embrace.
