February 25, 2009

OK, many of you have got a hold of the big guitar driven, full band,
anthem-ic version of Be Thou My Vision from Mercy Tracks Me Down – but
what do you do if you only have an acoustic guitar?

Well, here’s what I do

    I am a handbell director and also teach social ballroom dancing. I have been asked to create a Liturgical Dance Team. I am excited to use this rendition of “Be Thou My Vision” in our worship. Thanks, Andy!

    Hi Andy,

    I am learning to play Be Thou My Vision on the harp. I didn’t have the words and how they fit with the tune, until I saw your site. Thank you for sharing so helpfully. I am hoping to play it at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, here in Corydon Indiana, during Sacrament meeting. Your help is a blessing.

    Hi Andy,
    Thanks for sharing your gift with others and may the Lord use your worship to lift up Jesus, that many my be drawn to Him.

    Also Dear Marie Brennan,
    I would like to share with you that I was raised in the Mormon Church and am a descendant of Brigham Young but after I began to read and study the Bible carefully and prayerfully, I realized that mormonism teaches another gospel and another Jesus than what is taught in the Bible. In Galations 1:9 Paul gives the following exhortation; If we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. I encourage you to study, rightly dividing the Word of truth. Unlike the Bible which is inspired by the Holy Spirit, the Book of Mormon teaches many doctrines that are false for example that God is an exalted man and that we too can become Gods. If you test the Book of Mormon historically, archeologically, prophetically, and theologically you will find it does not line up with the Holy Bible. This may be shocking as it was for me over 20 years ago but renouncing Mormonism and embracing the Lord Jesus Christ of the Bible was the most important decision I have ever made. I share all of this because I care and pray that you will examine these things and that the Lord will lead you out of darkness into His marvelous light found in the Holy Bible alone. God bless you!

    Andy,
    Thanks for your shareing of your gifts, it is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich, & He adds no sorrow to it. May He be glorified.
    On a side note, I was watching one of your vids where you play in a bar or brothel – I know we need to reach the lost, but watching you play to the Lord while a girl is “suggestively danceing” in front of the stage can be a stumbling block for some.
    Please keep pressing on with the gospel for His Word does not return void,but dont cast your pearls before swine.
    In the love of the Lamb,
    Jim

    Thanks for your comments.

    I understand your concern, there’s always risk in going ‘into all the world’.

    We don’t have control over how others react yet we still need to be obedient even if it gets messy!

    Cheers – Andy

    Hello Andy. Thanks very much for sharing your inspirational version of ” Be Thou My Vision”. It is beautiful. The Lord bless and keep you.
    Maybe somehow I could share a song God gave me called ” King of My Heart”?
    Praise be to Him forever!
    Nancy.

What Others Are Saying…

Kathryn Scott'I've known Andy for 18 years - both as a worship leader in the church I attended as a teenager, and then as a friend and co-leader as we grew a little older together.

He is one of the most servant-hearted people I know. Few understand, and live out true worship like Andy - and I feel honored to serve with him because of it!

If you ever get the chance to have him come and lead at your church - or to listen to the songs that he has been writing - or to input as he explores the whole idea of writing as an online community (OpenSourceSongs.com) - I cannot more highly recommend that you jump at it. Andy really is one in a million - he's the real deal.' - Kathryn Scott
