Ben Gillespie, Original Song "Road to Emmaus"

Lyrics: Walking down the road he showed me all the things in heaven and on earth were made in him/
Were made in them/Walking down the road he showed me all the things in heaven and on earth were made in him/Were made through him/
Praise Him/
Walking down the road he showed me all the things in heaven and on earth were made in him/Were made in them/Walking down the road he showed me all the things in heaven and on earth in them/Were made in him/
Praise Him/

"But also, you have to worship your way in./And Genesis Chapter One is better understood as a hymn of praise to the Creator./Which when we use it and worship God, like with a hymn, we enter into Gods heart./We begin to understand God./We engage with the living God, the creator of heaven and earth./And you get this absolutely fantastic vision of the creator God bringing things into being and maintaining them in order./And our hearts go out to him./And we find ourselves wanting to talk to him and share with him./We re going to sing our way Im not going to sing Genesis./That might have been a good way to start, but um you might not think so by the time Im finished./When you start a good book, I hope you look at the contents page./That will give you some sort of idea what youre going to find there./We re dealing with something which is the obvious introduction to the wonderful book of the Bible./You got a contents page./And that the days of creation are simply chapters that are revealing to us where were going./I want to suggest that just as everything else in the Bible is only meaningful in the face of Jesus Christ, he showed them the things concerning himself that in the beginning basically is referring us to Jesus./Jesus is the beginning and the end./In the beginning, in Christ, all things were created and all things hold together."/...
"So when God is going to do something he uses both hands./Thats what you say to your children isn t it?/ Dont pick up that crockery with one hand! You know?/He s working with the Son and the Spirit./And as the son holds everything in the glue of his cohering and the word of his power, then the spirit is going out with the word and is bringing everything into form and order."

I used clips of a talk by Roger Forster of Ichthus Christian Fellowship, London in this song ( http://www.ichthus.org.uk/Media/Player.aspx?media_id=14816&file_id=16769 ).
I played all the instruments and did the recording. I also made the video. All of the family video clips (except Jessigirl ((my Wife)) riding her bike were taken by Timery Gillespie (my sis).
