My newly released Blu-ray edition of War Of The Worlds arrived today.

Of course, the way 2020 is unfolding the Martians would be all sort of “We can see you’ve got this under control yourselves, we’ll just drop by later when you’re done…” while slowly backing away.

“We’re all struggling with the world on fire…”
St. Peter’s Autograph by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit.

Sometimes it’s nothing but the way you’re wired
And that’s not your fault
We’re all struggling with the world on fire
And the fear we’re taught

Now you’ve lost another friend
Who couldn’t stay to see the end
He had somewhere else to be
Cut him down and burn the tree

There’s no shelter from the rain
And I can’t comprehend your pain
But I got arms and I got ears
And I will always be right here

One of our family mottos is “You Can’t Let The Day Get Away From You”.

Here are ten church songs and the percentage increase of their usage by reporting churches during March and April 2020, the initial months of the COVID-19 shutdowns.

It Is Well with My Soul 68%
Great Is Thy Faithfulness 64%
No Longer Slaves 23%
Raise a Hallelujah 15%
See A Victory 30%
The Solid Rock 49%
You Never Let Go 102%
Yes I Will 21%
Cornerstone 11%
He Will Hold Me Fast 46%

The themes of these songs, as different as they are in other respects, commonly express trust in God’s faithfulness and promises.
We’ve used some of them in our MGPC recordings, along with others.
