Recently, I bought a CD through the recommendation of one of my spiritual brothers, titled "CompassionART". It was an amazing and heart-touching worship CD because it gathered 15 wonderful songs inspired by 12 famous artists such as Tim Hughes, Joel Houston, Micheal W.Smith and many more. What touches my heart is not only about how great the songs were but the journey on the production of this CD.
It all started with Martin from the band Delirious? to gather 12 wonderful song writers over the world to have a retreat in scotland where this retreat is not the usual type of retreat in which we always enjoy. It was a retreat where God's people gathered and by faith to be used by God in their area of talent to come out with 15 worship songs to cry out for the justice for the poor and needy in the world.
I was extremely encouraged by how each and everyone of them threw aside their agenda and came together with one vision to work for the impossible and humble themselves down to seek the lord on composing songs that are going to help the poorest of the poor.
One of their tag line, " It's impossible to call ourselves worshippers and not be moved in the area of justice" had showed how much they were willing to be used as a vessel for God. There are many great worshippers in the world today and I had no doubt on how God had moved uniquely and impact each of their life but how many could actually stand up like these 12 worshippers to sing for justice and shake the nation. I was greatly inspired by them even as I meditate on the lyrics of their song. It touches my heart deeply.
I have never being to any of the poor countries and could not personally witness the suffering of the poors in those countries but through the documentry that they film had really broken my heart especially when one of the artists said, "The parents among those poors don't even name their child cos they don't even know how long they can survive". Its so so sad to hear that. Can you imagine a parent bringing the joy of a new life into the world but couldn't afford to feed them and have to watch them die from starvation and diseases because of poor sanitary in their countries. I thanks God and felt so fortunate in where I am now... having more than enough of food for my daily three meals, new clothes to wear and even school to attend. What about them? I prayed that indeed more open doors will be opened up to let people aware of the situation in these poor countries so that justice can be cry out for them, opening up doors for more volunteers to go and bless them in their needs. I too pray that I can have the opportunity one day to go and bless these poors in the world. Although, I don't have the ability right now to visit or help them, but what I can do is to pray for them in every of my prayer and grace before food.
I encouraged you all to purchase this compassionART CD as a form of support for their this project to carry on, touching the heart of people in the world to help the poorest of the poor.
