This is a song I wrote to help our family understand, celebrate and learn more about the Feasts of First Fruits.
The thing I have loved so much about working with Heiko and Lori on this album is that I had a collection of quite primitive songs that I thought were a good encouragement to my family.
They have taken these basic songs and helped to bring out a depth in them that I had never seen without having to change any of the lyrics.
We look forward to singing this song each year at First Fruits as we go and watch the sunrise. You can read about our celebrations of First Fruits on my blog HERE (2012), HERE (2011) and HERE (2010).
I just love seeing how Yeshua fulfills these feasts!
It's so rich a faith journey.
I thought I would include the references too that correspond to the lyrics in the verses.
Notes: Aleph and Tav are respectively, the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. This corresponds to the Alpha and Omega in the Greek alphabet.
