Sam & Grandad’s Song
- 9 April 2013
Last week my grandson, Sam Cardnell, and I were listening to this Anastasia song: Journey to the Past. He’d already watched me working on a new song. We together agreed it was a great tune & so I set about re-working it as a Christian song. Having just finished reading through Hebrews I had been struck by the famous 11th chapter. These words emerged over the next 48 hrs. Then I worked on producing a simple score. Finally, after I’d spent a happy evening sequencing a backing track using Cubase, we were finally ready to record. The photo below shows Sam during the rehearsal of one difficult part. I hope you like the result. Sam is just 7 years old! He recently asked to be baptised & happily his church family agreed that he could/should be. May the Lord strengthen this young man & put within him a spirit of courage, wisdom and humility. We’re very proud of you Sam, but let’s never forget who is the source of all this talent! (see James 1:17)
You can listen to Sam’s performance here: Hebrews 11 – (Sam & Grandad). Enjoy!
