fripodding and easter: “lord i lift your name on high” – donnie mcclurkin

I wasn’t going to do a friPod post today, due to it being a holiday/holiday weekend and all. But then I figured, why not? Make it holiday themed!

Although I have a few songs related to Jesus rising on Sunday morning, I chose the song my choir will actually be singing this Sunday. However the version here, isn’t like what we’ll be singing. If I had my recorder that night at rehearsal, I would’ve gladly recorded it and streamed it here for all to hear. We got a much more up-tempo version with a bit of a Caribbean flair to it. That is if I’m thinking of the current song we rehearsed. Anyway, the words and meaning are still the same. And although “Easter” was a pagan holiday once upon a time, what Christians celebrate is what’s repeated “You came from Heaven to Earth to show us the way / From the Earth to the cross / My debts you paid / From the cross to the grave / From the grave to sky / Lord I lift your name on high.” And here’s Donnie McClurkin singing “Lord I Lift Your Name on High.”

Have a great Good Friday and Happy Easter, Indoobians.
