Joy to the Earth, The Savior Reigns, let men, their songs employ... While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains repeat..."Peat" and repeat, said Grandma Ruth, in her humorless candor {that was her theme to the old people to watch what they said in front of the children. After that statement, we would usually be banished from the room, so they could talk more openly}. I see that we use our songs, employ our songs for building up or for tearing down. This is very important to note, with the further proliferation of them through media.
How do we weave our songs into good activity for the world around us, is the Savior reigning over us. We "peat" as it were and they repeat. The cycle is alot faster than when I was a child.
What will they have done with our songs when we are 70 as Paul Simon bid me to think in my youth? Or when I am 64 will my songs still be relevent and meaningful to the youth, says the Beatles? We've inherited their train of thinking, somewhat.There is nowhere you could be in NY and not have been touched by the trends of the 60's and 70's. Those currents were a driving force of motion and emotion. Where will we go with what is left to us? Will we employ our songs for the Savior's Reign and see the earth follow suit?
