Death. Life. Were You There?

The balance of death and life will always be one of great exploration for me as a human, as an artist, and as a follower of Christ. We serve a God who chose death, to give us life, and the human world has never been the same. I heard the hymn, “Were You There” on Good Friday this past year and immediately fell in love. Little did I know that it was most likely written by African American slaves in the 19th century. This gives the song so much more weight to my heart than was already there. So, was I there when they crucified my Lord? Perhaps not, but my sin was and that makes it all the same. I was there, and this fact makes me tremble.
