Song of the Week - Song of Hope (Heave Come Down)

I've always loved this song, but this Monday I sang it with just my guitar during Monday night worship, not to be confused with Monday Night Football, and it just became something else for me.  The transparency and rawness of the song, being with just an acoustic guitar and in a beautiful Boston apartment, transformed it into something else.  Hearing the group of people singing along to the song during the bridge was truly divine. 

Robbie Seay wrote a great song this time around.  Huge hit.  Finally a worship song with some tastefully used falsetto.. and who doesn't love that great beat driven by those hi-hats?  This is the new Happy Day, Friend of God, etc.. but better. 

fyi...

The parenthesis are used because the artist most likely originally named the track Song of Hope, but the record label recognized that people would recognize the song better if it was called Heaven Come Down.  So, entitling the track Song of Hope (Heaven Come Down) is essentially a compromise.  I agree.

see ya next week!
