  • I DID NOT made this video I found this on web, and I thought that more people should see this amazing video. I believed it was an video by Colin Usher who made some Proclaimers' music videos, but I have been contacted and informed that the video was shot as part "Lyrical Journey", a serie by BBC Radio 4. The quality is excellent. Recorded in the beautiful Edinburgh.

    I will always remember that cemetary in Leith, where you rarely see dates of death on the gravestones, but instead dates of "Lost at Sea". Leith is a very special place with a very special athmosphere. Everybody who visits Edinburgh should go there for a day and just walk around. Even if you see not so nice spots, you can feel some sort of energy, and a sense of pride, if you talk to people there.

      @@ObePawnKenobi It reminds me of how God made me a brand new creation in ways I could never have imagined.
      He was the only one who knew my heart was broken and had been for a long time. I cried out to Him in sorrow for how I was living my life and I felt a sense of His justice for a few moments before being enveloped in His Love and forgiveness.
      And I felt a huge weight lift off me (later when I read the New Testament, I realized this was sin and hurt and trauma i.e my sin but also sins done to me).
      Now I have 24/7 peace no matter the circumstances.
      I don't know why this (how he heals and restores) isn't preached far and wide.
      Jesus is the redeemer, the rescuer, the restorer, the saviour.
      [That's what the name "Jesus" means in Hebrew].
      This song appeals to people's longing and that longing is spiritual and can ONLY be satisfied by being reconciled to God through His son Jesus (Romans 5:1, John 14:6).
      "Therefore if anyone is in Jesus Christ they are a new creation.
      Behold old things have passed away and all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17)
      "If anyone does not have the Holy Spirit of Christ in them, then they do not belong to God" (Romans 8:9, based on Jesus's words in John 14:16-17)
      "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering [patience], gentleness, goodness, faith,
      Meekness, temperance [self-control]" (Galatians 5:22-23)
