It was a full weekend, it was a full day! Yet, at 10p last night, I sat down with coffee at the ready and put mouse to computer as I dug into Gregory’s suggestions...
I was drawn especially to two parts of his email. First, was a quote from the great hymn writer Isaac Watts. It reads as follows:
“The Great God values not the service of men, if the heart be not in it: The Lord sees and judges the heart; he has no regard to outward forms of worship, if there be no inward adoration, if no devout affection be employed therein. It is therefore a matter of infinite importance, to have the whole heart engaged steadfastly for God.”
The second part that caught my attention was a synopsis of a series of emails he had been receiving from his Grandma Judy describing her work in the apartment complex in which she lives.
The track begins with a heartbeat pattern, which continues through the whole track until is again the only sound. Glitches and noise swirl up and try to take our attention away from the heartbeat. I utilized a favorite loop of a two-chord change, along with bass and drum elements. All these elements come in, play for a bit and leave, but the heartbeat remains.
The main idea was this: no matter what comes, the sacred heart of Christ continues to beat for His people.
May our hearts ever beat for Him…
