Invocation
For those whose eyes would see / Render them in faith to thee / For all those seeking peace / In thine arms all strife shall cease.
If we seek we'll find; if we want peace we'll find it in the arms of Jesus.
Easy to say of course, difficult to dogmatically assert said promise in the face of conflicting testimonial evidence.
I had a hard time explaining this song when someone asked me about it awhile ago. Sort of miffed me, that I couldn't articulate better.

Who asked you?
Tom
I love that song. Hey, I wish ya'll would sell a music book with the sheet music to your songs in it. I spent a LONG time one evening on the piano trying to re-create the music to 'Missed the Mark'. Finally I gave up, I couldn't figure out all 4 parts at the same time!!! I know full well I could NEVER figure out 'Invocation...' :( Lauren
All you have to do is ask, I may be able to help you out.
Tom
Dear Tom, bless you. You do my heart good.
Merry
Hey Tom, if I ask will you help me out too?
Ag
Just send me an email people.
Tom
Carrie asked me. I'm not real good with being put on the spot sometimes. If I can prepare for being put on the spot, I tend to handle it more gracefully.
Tell her to ask you again.
Tom
"Prepare for being put on the spot"? Now doesn't that make sense. How do you prepare? Yoga?

I love the haunting beauty of that song, and its peaceful resolution. Guess I never pondered the words too much, but then I generally pick up on words to a song last. I often can hear the music to a song, and the words will not even register with me. I just know that musically I like that song probably at least as well as "Sweet Fellowship"--and you AHQ members probably are aware of how much I like that song! Thanks for including them both on your latest album. Beautiful, that Invocation! And by the way, I wish sometimes I were more like those of you who immediately get "into" the words of a song... Anyway, sing on, boys, whenever you have the opportunity. I miss hearing you guys.

Oh, Tom!! I'm asking, I'm asking!!!! PLEASE??? I will be SO gratefull for music to some of your songs... Hmm. You said to email. I'll do that, too!!! Lauren
Well, Tom, I gotta give it to you. You know how to get the women to ask.
Ag
Hoots, me lady, thy tongue hath wit and to spare.
Merry
Took me years to figure out.
Tom
keep working on it, tom... it'll come to you. :)
Ooh, Tom, your friends are jealous.
Ag
Call that a woman's intuition.
Ag
Actually just call it too much free time one afternoon.
