/ˈstre.pi.tus/, [ˈstrɛ.pɪ.tʊs] a great noise
This is the conclusion of our Tenebrae service where we attempted package the journey to the cross and its earth shattering implications inside our version of the Tenebrae "great noise". After the conclusion of this, everyone walked out in silence and darkness. What you see and hear was recorded live in our second service, most of the instrumentation is improvised but there's points where I feel some measure of Holy Spirit orchestration in how the words and music came together. The spoken word is written and performed by Wayne Wynter who is one of our elder's at Redemption Alhambra.
I cannot begin to tell you how blessed I and my family are by his words here. I've been mixing and watching this for a couple of months and I've yet to watch it and not cry. I told my wife that if I had 10 minutes to plead the gospel to someone, I'd just have them watch this video. I've broken down Wayne's words hear piece by piece with my children as devotionals to make sure they don't leave my care knowing the heart of the truth spoken here by Wayne.
I also want to thank everyone who is on the credits at the end of this video and call out that not a single person on stage, in the booth and in those credits is paid. Everyone has graciously donated their time (and a lot of it) for the benefit of the body and our community and I want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you. We as the band feel like this night is probably the greatest thing we'll ever be a part of and I'm so happy to share with those who couldn't make it.
We'll be releasing audio of this next week. Enjoy.
