Today is St. Patrick's Day and, since the parades have been canceled, we can take the time to learn about St. Patrick. Here's an informative video for all ages. Also, the Irish band Rend Collective has a new album coming out on March 27! One song I'm enjoying is "Sing It from the Shackles," a grunge ballad with a dash of Celtic instrumentation and black Gospel vocals. The lyrics below are applicable both to the life of St. Patrick and our lives in the current pandemic.
Sing it from the shackles Sing it from the chains Sing it from the trenches Sing it through the pain There's a song rising up Can you hear the freedom sound Sing it from the shackles We're gonna sing it loud, loud, loud
You're my deliverer You tear down the prison walls When my heart needs a miracle You will come through You're my deliverer My anthem throughout it all When my strength and my fight is gone I know You will come through
You're breaking off rejection You're breaking off the shame You're breaking off addictions, yeah In the power of Your name There's a song rising up Can you hear that freedom sound Sing it from the shackles We're gonna sing it loud, loud, loud
Let the darkness Hear our praises From these ashes We'll see victory Chains are worthless They can't hold us From these shackles Show Your glory ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Enjoy our song ideas and reading our blog?
