How They Fit In:
There are many ways to think about the significance of songs and the way they fit together–-this is simply one way you can look at these songs in light of this week’s theme.
Wandering: We sang this song to proclaim God’s faithfulness to us despite our unreliable faithfulness to God.
Eternal Anchor: This song is about God making all things new.
Waking Life: This song is about God’s reality breaking through our own and reframing the way we experience the world.
For All That I Don’t Know: This song is about clinging to faith when clinging to faith doesn’t seem like a viable option.
Inbreaking: We sang this song to look over our shoulder at last week’s songs. This is what we said about Inbreaking then: This song is a plea for the Slaughtered Lamb to enter again into our suffering and make all things new.
Doxology: We close our time together each week with this proclamation that God is worthy of praise from every inch of the cosmos.

Songs:
Crown Him With Many Crowns by ubcmusic (adapted from M. Bridges)
Future/Past by John Mark McMillan
Waking Life by Jameson McGregor
Wideness by ubcmusic (adapted from F. Faber)
How They Fit In:
There are many ways to think about the significance of songs and the way they fit together–-this is simply one way you can look at these songs in light of this week’s theme.
How Great Thou Art: We sang this song to begin our time together focusing on attention on the God who is greater than our words can capture, who spun the cosmos, entered into our suffering, and is making all things new.
Crown Him With Many Crowns: This song invites us to give voice to the reign of Christ above every so-called authority, whose Kingdom is and is to come, and flips the script on our ideas of power and grandeur.
Future/Past: We sang this song to remember that the love of God comes to us across an impossible gap between what it is to be God and what it is to be human, and this love swallows up the whole of our numbered days.
Waking Life: This song is about God breaking into the systems we make with our brain to organize the world around us. This in-breaking calls into question the ways we reduce our neighbors to empty phrases, and the way we let ourselves off the hook for dehumanizing our enemies.
Wideness: We sang this song to look over our shoulder at last week’s songs. This is what we said about Wideness then: This song proclaims that God’s mercy is more complete than our minds can handle, and offers a word of repentance for the ways in which we represent God as less merciful than God is.
Doxology: We close our time together each week with this proclamation that God is worthy of praise from every inch of the cosmos.
