the hymn is very beautiful :) 2 Timothy 2:3 Suffer evil with me as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.  2:4 No one serving as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please the one who enlisted him. 

My Grace is Sufficient For You - 2 Cor 12:7-9

The first three songs in this medley were on a children’s CD I grew up listening to by Rob Allison.

1
After israel had wandered in the wilderness 
For a period of forty years,
It was time for the younger generation 
To fight for the promised land.

Now the Lord had already chosen Joshua 
‘Cause he took the lead to choose God.
As he stood on the border of the good land,
God gave him this command.

Be strong and of good courage
Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed
For Jehovah your God is with you
Wherever you go.

2
Awake, awake, Deborah!
Awake, awake, break out in song!
Arise, Barak, and lead your captivity captive.

Let your enemies perish, Oh Jehovah,
But let them that love Him be as the sun!

Awake, awake, oh generation!
Come out, come out from all the nations
Arise, Christians, and give
Yourselves to Christ and the church

3
Gideon’s army was like a barley loaf
Gideon’s army was like a barley loaf
And they rolled down the hill into the enemy
And so the Lord did win a mighty victory

Gideon said put a pitcher o’er your torch
Gideon said put a trumpet in your hand
And when I give the word you’ll blow your trumpets loud
And break your pitchers so your light shines all around

The enemy soldiers cried out and they fled
Because the shouts of praise and life came overhead.
So with Gideon we see the Lord’s special way to fight.
It’s not with sticks and stones but with your praise and light.

4
Wherever you go, I will go,
Wherever you dwell, I will dwell;
Your people will be my people 
And your God will be my God.
(2x)

Wherever you die, I will die;
And there will I be buried.
Jehovah do to me, and more as well,
If anything but death parts me from you.
(Repeat last 2 lines)

All the days of my life.
Deal with the old man,
Off to the good land,
To enjoy my Christ.

I want to fully follow Jehovah
All the days of my life.
Leave all the matters
In His safe hands to
Let Him make His choice.

I want to fully follow Jehovah
All the days of my life.
I’ll pay the price to
Cross o’er the Jordan
To posses my Christ.

We want to fully follow Jehovah
All the days of our lives.
Be strong and take courage 
To claim our portion
Our all-inclusive Christ. 

Lord, when we look back on the journey
We’ll say that it’s You we chose fully
We didn’t settle and stand back 
From gaining You thoroughly. 
We want to fully follow You 
Into the good land You promised.
We want to gain our all-inclusive Christ.

I Want To Fully Follow Jehovah (Numbers 32:12)

God is awesome! His word is awesome! To let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly (Col 3:16), we can sing His word!

"You Are Awesome O God" ft MC  (Psalm 68:35)

MAINE 2025 SATURDAY WRAP PARTY JAMS

After all the effort to put on our annual show in the middle of the woods at the Silent Stage Theater, all the puppeteers, performers, stagehands, and audience deserve a big Wrap Party at Captain Dave’s log cabin porch to celebrate. These jams were extraordinary, thanks to the deep talents of the musicians and singers. And fun times had by all.

This music was recorded in August 2025, on an island in the middle of a big lake in Northwest Maine, where we’ve been gathering, thanks to the Loons, for decades. Many of these friends, musicians, and singers from Maine and from all over the country and abroad, hadn’t seen each other, much less played with each other, for at least a year. It’s all improvisation, Jams, not Performances, with no prior Rehearsals or Song Lists, so this is as real as it gets.

This album is arranged in the actual order in which the music was played, minus the many out-takes, but, when it’s all done, it seems I couldn’t have thought of a better order. The music is all acoustic Americana, though it ranges all over the place, from Bluegrass to Jazz to Folk to Country to Rock to Reggae, but it really works as an organic album, and that’s big for people like me, who still appreciate albums.

Sounds best, like you’re right on that island in Maine partying with us, when played on a good stereo with two separated speakers, left and right, or on a headset, or, one of my favorites, on a car stereo, so that this stereo recording will actually sound three-dimensional. You can hear the location of each instrument and singer. More than ever before, I was able to immerse myself (and my stereo pair of mics) into the belly of the music, literally surrounded by the musicians, the instruments, voices, and harmonies, so that, if you listen in true stereo, I can take you right in there with me.

On some songs, there’s a little too much chatter, but when you’re actually at a campfire, and people are talking, laughing, and partying, you filter that out, and the only thing you hear is the music. Crank it up, and let your imagination take you there, and enjoy. It’ll surprise you.
