I am The Great Sun - Joanne Hogg

The words of this poem are profound and its meaning true to the core. The music is hauntingly soul searching with an air of sober sorrow. The Celtic flavor is like the icing on the cake! It's just all over wonderful! Enjoy :)

Lord, forgive me where I have not seen you, not let you warm me, turned away from you, not let you have free reign in my life, not obeyed you, not stayed awhile with you, left you, sinned against you by not praying to you, not heard you through negligence or ignorance or deliberate fault, betrayed you and not loved you, not cheered you, blamed you and not named you. Forgive me for the times when I have slain your holy dove. Cleanse me in my thinking, cleanse me from my sin, deep within; forgive me all that is past, and grant that I may serve you in newness of life to the glory of your name. Amen.

One of the most beautiful voices I have had the pleasure of listening to !

I am the Great Sun From a Normandy crucifix of 1632 I am the great sun, but you do not see me, I am your husband, but you turn away. I am the captive, but you do not free me, I am the captain but you will not obey. I am the truth, but you will not believe me, I am the city where you will not stay. I am your wife, your child, but you will leave me, I am that God to whom you will not pray. I am your counsel, but you will not hear me, I am your lover whom you will betray. I am the victor, but you do not cheer me, I am the holy dove whom you will slay. I am your life, but if you will not name me, Seal up your soul with tears, and never blame me.

Beautiful song and music, and a hunting mesmerising voice. Ps. Some very odd bits in the video, including the cactus and baboon in the snow … what a hash 🤦‍♂️ Mental …

I find it funny when people say: "I love God" but hate me. Hypocrites.

[@westsidewarrior1972]

cut out the music at the end. it really is annoying after such a beautiful song.

[@ianmcnamara4994]

a friend sang this to me the other day which made me try and find a recorded version. I have to say it's a fantastic song and I really like it a lot.
