Jesus Messiah is Coming

Luke 19:38-42 "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!" 
     "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"
     Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!" 
     "I tell you," he replied, "If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace--but now it is hidden from your eyes . . . "


About the Song

I wrote this song while studying through the book of Luke. I wanted to include it on this album to continue to stress who Jesus is, and how he came to redeem us. It was very important to me to choose songs that taught these girls important, simple truths.

The song is almost word for word from this passage in the book of Luke so it speaks for itself. I pray that all who hear this are stirred to consider if they truly believe Jesus is who He said He was, and who He says He is. He is alive, He is our Messiah, our Redeemer. Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!

About a Girl

In addition to raising funds for the hostel, Disha Foundation sponsors radio programs that share biblical truths meant to empower women and girls, with a focus on discouraging the dangerous procedure of abortion through education. Vinita Shaw has written two books of short stories about many of her radio listeners in India who have called in to the show for prayer and counsel. They have shared their stories about how God has changed them and given them hope. Here is one story of how the name of Jesus can pierce to the heart and redeem someone's life from the pit. This excerpt is taken from the book Unshackled, which is available for purchase on Amazon.com:

Aloka was an escapist by nature.  She left her village as a young teenager with the first boy who made a pass at her. Her father had died and her mother wanted to marry her to an old man in exchange for some money. She had overheard it all when her maternal uncle had come to visit her recently widowed mother. They both thought she was asleep in the small corner of their dark and dingy hut. She had been asleep but the sound of hushed conversation accompanied by the sound of big raindrops falling noisily to the ground had woken her up. She had been very tired. The heat and humidity typical of the little village close to the Bay of Bengal was awful. The rain was a welcome sign and she changed side on her untidy little floor bed and kept her eyes closed and quietly overheard their conversation. Click to continue reading . . .

What Can You Do?

I hope your hearts have been encouraged by the music and stories, but also softened and opened to the plight of these girls. I hope that the Lord is stirring in your hearts to do something to help this dire situation. Here are some ways you can help. Pray. Most of all, we need to intercede for these girls, the staff, and the workers at Disha Foundation. Pray for the Shaw family as they work hard to lead and make wise decisions as they care for so many. They need prayers for strength, courage, and endurance as they run a difficult race. Make a purchase. Buy a song, album or a book. If you already have them, gift them to others. This way you are being blessed by the songs and stories, and money from the sales is going right back to these girls in need. Also share the links to the album on iTunes, to this blog, and to the books on Amazon with your friends. Give. Give a donation to Disha Foundation to help fund the hostel or support the older girls trying to make it on their own. Go....

Teri Sundarta (Your Beauty)

Teri Sundarta (Your Beauty) Psalm 27:4 One thing I ask from the Lord,      this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord      all the days of my life,  to gaze on the beauty of the Lord      and to seek him in his temple.  About the Song I wrote this simple praise song about the beauty of God sometime before moving to India. It has always been a favorite of mine, and one that many others have enjoyed listening to and singing. It has a simple melody, a timeless message, and lyrics not too difficult to translate. I am thankful for dear Indian friends who worked hard making the best translation to preserve the meaning as well as the melody. This can be very difficult! It was important to include some Hindi language songs so that the girls could sing in their heart language. They do know some English, but it is generally basic or very beginner level for the younger ones, especially. I loved hearing th...

The Beginning

Image
During the fall of 2012, the Lord was working on my heart and bringing things together in my mind in preparation for this project. I shared the vision with Vinita Shaw of Disha Foundation , and she gave me her blessing to move forward. I committed the month of January 2013 to the Lord for prayer and planning for this project as well as for my general music ministry. I know the Lord has used music in my life and to bless others in the past, so it makes sense that there would be spiritual warfare in the form of distractions or disruptions in my life. However, I was not expecting what happened on January 1, 2013. I had a sudden, unexplained back injury that landed me in bed for the month. Doctors were unable to diagnose the exact problem. After that month, I could only handle being out of bed for about an hour at a time. I very slowly worked back up to a normal routine as my back healed. During that time, I realized that all the Lord had called me to do that month (in addition to nor...
