    New Song: San Fernando

    Just wanted to share one of the latest songs I have written.  This particular song was written in response to the 4 day trip I took with my summer team to the very rural towns of Santo Corazon and San Fernando.  The music player is located at the bottom of this entry.  Enjoy!

    There's a town
    Green and brown
    With a shack
    In the back
    And in it
    My spirit
    Takes flight
    To new heights

    In this place
    I finally see the face
    Of one who isn't overcome
    By dues and debts, and their sum.

    The people
    Are simple
    Generous
    ----------
    And so is
    The warm breeze
    Brown sand and
    Helping hand

    In this place
    I finally see the face
    Of one who isn't caught behind
    The safety net of soul and mind.

    When the sun
    Stops his run
    We gather
    Together
    With candles
    And Bibles
    In the shack
    In the back.

    And in this place
    I finally see the face
    Of one who knows the meaning of
    Life is found in who you love.
