Body of Christ Hold your tongue and your Mule

Re: Sinéad O'Connor interview

 

Sinéad O'Connors' music stands before a Sovereign God. The Music will be judged by God alone. Her music in not a gift to the church. Her Music is gift to God. Her music will be a "living sacrifice" acceptable unto God when God says so. Sinéad O'Connors' music, life and comments stand before a sovereign God. perhaps, her music, comments, and life will be tempered by her ecclesiastic uplink and plurality of such men and women of good report in the Body of Christ. Sinéad O'Connors' music may not be ready for "prime time" praise and worship. Consider,  is your music ready for prime time praise and worship without God....

 

 

 

 Matthew 7:2 (The Message) 1-5 "Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults— unless, of course, you want the same treatment. That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging. It's easy to see a smudge on your neighbor's face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, 'Let me wash your face for you,' when your own face is distorted by contempt? It's this whole traveling road-show mentality all over again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face, and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.

 

Sinéad O'Connors' music, comments and life may not be ready for public prime time ecclesiastical discourse. Her comments qualify Sinéad O'Connors for Gods love, our sensitivity, discernment and Leviticus 19:18.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Her comments and music qualify her as a music neighbor in the global music village. "you shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Leviticus 19:18 RSV) ..."Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?" "He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise." (Luke 10:25-37 RSV)

 

 

 

SEARCH ME, O GOD (Orr) Words: J. Ed­win Orr, 1936.

Search me, O God,
And know my heart today;
Try me, O Savior,
Know my thoughts, I pray.
See if there be
Some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin
And set me free.

I praise Thee, Lord,
For cleansing me from sin;
Fulfill Thy Word,
And make me pure within.
Fill me with fire
Where once I burned with shame;
Grant my desire
To magnify Thy Name.

Lord, take my life,
And make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart
With Thy great love divine.
Take all my will,
My passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord
In me abide.

O Holy Ghost,
Revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival,
Start the work in me.
Thy Word declares
Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now,
O Lord, I humbly plead.

Sinead O’Connor Releasing Bible-Based CD By

The Irish singer made infamous for ripping apart a picture of Pope John Paul II on “Saturday Night Live” is returning to the music scene with a surprising CD based heavily off Scripture.

 

Sinead O'Connor is releasing her ninth album 'Theology' internationally from June 22-26. All of the newly composed songs are based off Old Testament writings.

Sinead O’Connor will be releasing her ninth album titled Theology internationally from June 22 to June 26 and includes lyrics that are solely founded on Old Testament writings.

According to the songwriter, the project is a self-described personal response to the state of the world following Sept. 11, 2001.

"Theology is my attempt to create a place of peace in a time of war," explained the soloist in a message on the advance copy of the album.

The two disc set will feature eight new composed songs as well as three covers of past tunes. Four of the compositions are titled after Psalms (33, 91, 130, 137) and the three redone renditions include Curtis Mayfield's "We People Who Are Darker Than Blue," Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's "I Don't Know How to Love Him" and the traditional "By the Rivers of Babylon."

The two discs have the exact same songs recorded on both of them except that the first disc is exclusively acoustic while the second CD has full band pop arrangements, recorded in Dublin and London, respectively.

“How awesome is it being God?” wrote Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone magazine. “Not only do you get Sinead to praise you in her reggae hymn ‘The Glory of Jah,’ you get a bonus acoustic version! [Dang], Jah – that's a heck of a lot of glory!”

Promoters plan on pushing the project strongly into the Christian market because of the album’s message. O’Connor hopes that it can reach people who do not yet know God and to help others experience the God who can give humans peace and calm.

The 40-year-old Irish is also planning on touring Europe in July and August, followed by some North American performances in September and October.

O’Connor will release Theology under KOCH Records for the first time and has included songs also specifically based on the books of Jeremiah, Isaiah, Job, Samuel, and Song of Songs
