Well, I mentioned in a previous post that something pretty big happened after hearing Mirror Of Souls, in particular the title track!
Let me just give you a little background on what happened leading up to that. Basically I became a Christian at the age of 18 and attended church and was pretty committed for a number of years but around 4 years ago my attendance at my church began to slip and slowly did my faith do pretty much the same. I realise now of course that I've been rather foolish!! I'm 30 now and I just know that despite my lack of faith in these last years, Christ has been faithful to me and I'm positive that Mirror Of Souls was the track used to make me realise this.
May sound far fetched to some but it just seems that way. When I heard the song properly for the first time just hearing the lyrics made me realise that if I were to see my soul reflected in the eyes of God then I can't even begin to imagine what I'd see, especially after some of the things I've said and done over the years. As the song drew to the climax it had me in tears and seems to move me every time I hear it.
Now I know what I need to do. My next step is to get my life recommitted to Christ. I want to say a huge thank you to Matt and Theocracy for this album. Not only is it the best album I've heard in years but it's had a massive impact on my life. I gather from reading the thanks list that you had almost given up on finishing the album Matt. Well, I for one am grateful you did, and I'm sure there will be more in the same boat there. So, thank you and of course praise God.
I do have a question following this. Now I know that probably the overwhelming majority of Christians attend a church regularly but for some reason it seemed to me back then that sometimes the close I got to church the further I felt from God. Is that just me? Was I going to the wrong church? I'd be grateful for any advice on where I should go from here.
Sorry this was a little long but I felt it was worth sharing and I just had to say a thank you to Theocracy for the masterpiece that is Mirror Of Souls.
Cheers for reading!
