Rend Collective - Rescuer (Good News)

주의 성령이 내게 임하셨으니 이는 가난한 자에게 복음을 전하게 하시려고 내게 기름을 부으시고 나를 보내사 포로 된 자에게 자유를, 눈 먼 자에게 다시 보게 함을 전파하며 눌린 자를 자유롭게 하고 ;  주의 은혜의 해를 전파하게 하려 하심이라 하였더라 'The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed ; to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." (누가복음 4:18~19)

때가 찼고 하나님의 나라가 가까이 왔으니 회개하고 복음을 믿으라 하시더라 proclaiming the good news of God. "The time has come," he said. ; "The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!" (마가복음 Mark 1:15)

하나님이 세상을 이처럼 사랑하사 독생자를 주셨으니 이는 그를 믿는 자마다 멸망하지 않고 영생을 얻게 하려 하심이라 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (요한복음 John 3:16)

Rend Collective ▶북 아일랜드의 포크락 밴드로 Organic [유기농의], Homemade [집에서 작업하는] 워십 밴드로 불리기도 하는데요, 이들의 팀 이름은 다음 성경 말씀에서 착안했다고 하는 군요. 

※ 너희는 옷을 찢지 말고 마음을 찢고 너희 하나님 여호와께로 돌아올지어다 그는 은혜로우시며 자비로우시며 노하기를 더디하시며 인애가 크시사 뜻을 돌이켜 재앙을 내리지 아니하시나니 Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. (요엘 Joel 2:13)

Gareth Gilkeson (band leader, percussion, flute), Chris Llewellyn (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, ukelele), Ali Gilkeson (keyboards, female lead/backing vocals, auxiliary percussion), Patrick Thompson (electric guitar, banjo, various strings, backing vocals), Stephen Mitchell (bass guitar) 멤버들의 악기 구성만 보더라도 매우 다채롭고 풍성한 느낌이 드는데요, 이들의 첫 밴드 이름은 ' Rend Collective Experiment' ~ 공동체로서 꾸밈없는 실험적인 느낌의 음악들을 보여 주곤 합니다. 

2018년 새 앨범에서 들어 보는 첫 싱글 ~♬

There is good news for the captive Good news for the shamed There is good news for the one who walked away ; There is good news for the doubter The one religion failed For the Good Lord has come to seek and save

He's our rescuer He's our rescuer We are free from sin forevermore ; Oh how sweet the sound Oh how grace abounds We will praise the Lord our rescuer

He is beauty for the blind man Riches for the poor He is friendship for the one the world ignores ; He is pasture for the weary Rest for those who strive For the Good Lord is the way, the truth, the life ; Yes the Good Lord is the way, the truth, the life

He's our rescuer He's our rescuer We are free from sin forevermore ; Oh how sweet the sound Oh how grace abounds We will praise the Lord our rescuer ; We will praise the Lord our rescuer We will praise the Lord our rescuer

So come and be chainless Come and be fearless Come to the foot of Calvary ; There is redemption For every affliction Here at the foot of Calvary ; So come and be chainless Come and be fearless Come to the foot of Calvary ; There is redemption For every affliction Here at the foot of Calvary

He's our rescuer He's our rescuer We are free from sin forevermore

Oh how sweet the sound ; Oh how grace abounds We will praise the Lord our rescuer We will praise the Lord our rescuer
