The theme of this song (number 9 in my Concert of Sacred Metaphors series) is almost highly appropriate today. Between job and work done for my master's degree class, I am consumed with work of one sort of another.

Ponder Anew put up another wonderful ponderment about the word choices, in this case, which person of pronoun -- first, second or third -- is best for worship and why.
