I received a couple of things by my friend George Dunn. He was not at last year’s Global Gathering, but heard about what I had shared there and contacted me.
We have since become very close in The Lord. George is the real deal. He had set aside his guitar over 20 years go when The Lord convicted him of entertaining rather than leading worship. He brought his guitar here to the cabin for his most recent visit, and played this song, the words of which he had written.
It was mid-afternoon, when he sang to us, not normally the time when the birds are chirping, but when he began to play, the birds came near, and sang with him. We couldn’t help but think they had come to show God’s approval. :-)

Was this the picture itself, or am I missing words that had been written?
I’m sorry for my delay in seeing your comment, Bobbye! There was a link to a song by Jay’s friend, George Dunn, at the bottom of this post. I hope you are able to access it.
George was a blessing.
Thanks for re-posting this, Pam. If you didn’t know, the original tune is called “Vincent” by Don McLean who is better known for the song American Pie. The original lyrics were about Vincent van Gogh.
I like this version very much – and appreciate another guitar-playing believer who writes new lyrics to an old familiar tune. Jack
