The 20th Year Reunion Concert (We've No Less Days...)

Those passing through here may have noticed the various Narrow Road albums, concerts and videos posted on the right sidebar.  Some may have also noticed the newest installment at the top:  The band's 20th Year Reunion concert - in its entirety - from 2012 (also posted below for a better view).




As of this note, it's hard to believe four years have passed since the reunion, much less twenty-four years since the band originated.  Many talented musicians performed in Narrow Road over the years, and many wonderful friends were made along the way.

As I contemplate the video: watching friends performing on stage, remembering our musical journey together and recalling friends in the audience that night, I'm also reminded of a lyric from the old hymn, "Amazing Grace":

"When we've been there ten-thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we've first begun."

Time sure does fly quickly by.  A verse of scripture also comes to mind: "But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." 
- 2 Peter 3:8 

No matter how much we cherish something or someone, nothing in this world is everlasting.  I'm thankful that this realm is not the end; I'm thankful Jesus my Redeemer is returning one day to take me home (John 14: 2 & 3), where life is everlasting.

Till that day, may we store up our heart's treasures in heaven (Matthew 6: 19 - 21), where "we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we've first begun."

As iron sharpens iron,
