Eoghan Heaslip

I'm not one for plugging a lot of contemporary worship music only because I think that most of it sounds the same anymore. For me, going into the local christian bookstore music section is kinda like going to Baskin Robins: pick your flavour... but the flavour only lasts a while then we come back for something else. I mean, how many times can we listen to the same 15 worship songs produced 15,000 different ways? So that said, I'm extreamly "picky" when it comes to whom I will listen to in the worship music realm.
This might sound a little strange but I've had a song running through my head like crazy the past few weeks and I can't seem to get it out of there. I haven't even heard it or played it for 2 years now...odd. Ever had that happen? Well needless to say, I started to hum out the lyrics of the tune and found them to be very encouraging. The song is by Irish based worship leader/song writer Eoghan Heaslip (pronounced Owen Heslip). I first came across his music a few years back - he got some great writing and creativity. Like I said, the lyrics to "Gathering Song" have been marching through my mind contstantly... check them out - I hope they encourage you today:

As we gather, here together in Your presence
As Your people, we acknowledge and remember
The works of Your hands, Your purpose and plan
Your Word through the ages
Like an anchor for all times, as one we sing:

He who has promised will be faithful
He who has promised will be true
He who has begun a good work will complete it
Oh Lord, all our hope is found in You
