Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!
A friend in Dar asked me to paint this mural. It's on a roadside wall, which borders the beach. She wanted the wings to communicate about freedom in Christ... We put it in this very public place since His freedom is available to all. We put it on an old, cement wall to show that God brings beauty out of the mundane. Already, as I was painting, the wings drew people (like this boy from next door) and conversation... about creation, cloud colors, denominations, religion, following Christ, artwork... (all in Swahili I must add!). It was a good project. I'm thankful for the opportunity, and for the message.
