“Then Sings My Soul –
Finding Sacred Hope in Secular Music”
Poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning famously said, “Earth's crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God, but only one who sees takes off their shoes…”
Many have long attempted to separate their faith or religion from the rest of their life. One woman came right out and said it: “I have my church friends and my non-church friends, and I intend to keep it that way.”
Faith, however, is intended to be an integrated part of our being, not compartmentalized to an hour on Sunday morning or once in a while when we read a Bible verse on a bumper sticker. Faith, while often touted as a trust in something unseen, also comes with a vision that sees the presence of God everywhere.
“I once was blind, but now I see!” we sing with gusto! As we find our mid-summer stride at Broadway with great cause for uncertainty in the world around us, we long to hone our spiritual eyes (and ears!) to see and hear God all around us. For when we see… when we hear… our souls can’t help but sing in response to the goodness of God’s presence.
Join us for a nine-week summer series carefully crafted from more than 70 song submissions of Broadway worshippers, who offered a title of a secular song with theological implications for our seeing, our hearing, and our living as an integrated soul experiencing the presence of God at each and every turn.
