Faith to Work

This song was a collaborative effort by Budd Goodyear (lyrics) and Andrea Sandefur (music). Andrea writes: "Budd wrote this poem, entitled “Faith to Work,” when he was meditating on his “role with Christ,” within the passages found in James 2:14-26. “How do I spread the Word?” was a question that came to mind. After the poem was down on paper, it served as a “kick in the pants.” He felt compelled to DO something. The Holy Spirit put My House, a local outreach ministry, in mind. Seeking to reach hearts, he started a small Bible study there. That simple act of obedience has had a beautiful impact. Setting Budd’s words to music has been a privilege and a joy. The melancholy, pleading tone seems fitting."

This recording features Andrea Sandefur on vocals and piano, Naomi Stamoolis on oboe, Joel Stamoolis on cello, and Lauryn Pealatere on djembe.
