We have a wee songs of praise for Lent coming up a week on Sunday and instead of me choosing the hymns, it's pay-back time and I open the invitation to you all. There are other people who have been asked as well and my only control is to choose what we sing from that selection. I won't be there, personally so when the minister's away the church mice shall play or even pray and possibly sing too all the hymns I'll never choose.
So what about some lenten hymns. The choice is handed over to you, along with an explanation if you could (to give context to the hymn in this season). I hear hymns differently in Lent because the context is so different: wilderness, thinner place, leaner time, the light more fragile...
What would you like to choose?
If we can't fit them all in then we'll use then during other weeks too. But together, as a community, what songs must we gather round and be heard singing that speaks into the world (especially as we are going extinct according to today's news headlines - more on that another day)?
