‘Let’s remind each other how the world was won,
not with mighty army nor with soldier’s gun,
his unlikely palace – Mother Mary’s womb.
Operation Jesus, from a borrowed room.’
As these words from the title song suggest, this is not a ‘religious’ CD, if religion is about nice things, holy words & pious scenes.
That’s not how God changes the world’s history.
It happens when Jesus takes the ‘low way’ to Jerusalem, when the ‘sightless Pharisees condemned as heresies the wide-eyed working of the Lord.’
When ‘the hunters … gather for the kill’, the ‘palms lay where they fell’, Jesus was taken prisoner by the religious authorities & ‘condemned to carry a cross’.
‘Death cannot hold you, death is not that clever,
God lives forever!’
This new CD is not for entertainment = amusement, distraction, excitement.
The intention of these songs is to tell in various ways how God chooses to fix things. Hopefully, some of that intention is realised.
‘Lose your life & save it,
give it up and get it back.’
