Some of you may remember the song, "Listen To Him" from Acappella's Rescue album.  As with many songs I have written, a favored approach has been to write Scripturally-based songs.  Some are word-per-word while others follow the narrative.  The song "Listen To Him" recounts the Biblical account of the transfiguration of Jesus - and what an amazing story it is!

It's encouraging to hear people tell us how our songs have helped them to learn Scripture, and that while reading the Bible, they come across passages that they have been "singing" and hearing for years through our albums.

I can't help but smile as I remember this humorous experience from well over fifteen years ago. I don't remember the year that Acappella was singing for a special event in St. Louis when a new Christian spoke to me about her delightful discovery.  She was so excited, and very surprised when she came across the transfiguration account in the New Testament.  She knew of the song, "Listen To Him" and only after a period of time, came to the realization that, "Hey, that's in the Bible!"

What an imagination that would have been required for me to make up such a story.
