Hi
There,
Andy
Rogers here.
Let
me tell you the
story behind this song and why I'm giving it away
for FREE.
For
years, I’ve
been using a unique version of Be Thou My Vision as part of my worship
set and it always has a profound effect on congregations and audiences
around the world.
In
fact, at the time of writing this
I have just
returned from Eastern Europe where my band (A Perfect Stone) and I have
been playing in such diverse venues as churches, bars, night clubs and
orphanages. On each occasion we finished our set with this guitar
driven, anthemic version of Be
Thou My Vision.
Every single
time we
sang the song it was a sublime
moment.
For
the party goers of the bars and clubs it was amazing to see
their response to His presence in the midst of worship that they
didn’t
realise was going on. U2's Bono has described these kind of moments as
‘like
God walking into the room’. For the Christian believers it
was a
profound intimate worship experience.
The
same experience has been repeated in the USA, France, Ireland in fact
everywhere I have used this version.
I
even
got this email after last Sunday night from one of our folks at
Causeway Coast Vineyard church.
I
didn’t get a chance to chat with you after the service, but
worship was amazing. I have never sung a more powerful hymn than that
night
And
this FaceBook comment:
Yet,
despite being asked many times for a
recording of this arrangement it's only recently that I got to do it as
part of an album project called Mercy
Tracks Me Down.
So, why am I giving it
away
for
FREE?
Ordinarily
you'd
have to buy the whole album at www.MercyTracksMeDown.com
to get a copy but
because I've already witnessed the effect this version of the song has
when people hear it I
wanted to try to get it out quickly to a wider
audience.
Don't
get me wrong,
I like selling
albums as much as the next guy but knowing the effect this song has had
on others I'd love to hear your story too.
It
was
recorded in both Nashville and Northern Ireland for that album project
but you can download it here for FREE.
(Of
course it also
helps folks discover my other music too!)
So
this little project will get this guitar driven version of
Be Thou My Vision out to you and others quickly without having to buy
the album.
I've
set myself a
target of getting 10,000 folks to download their own copy and that's
where I'd like to ask your help.
When
you've
downloaded
your own copy I'll tell
you how you or a charity or church could even get paid for sharing it
with your friends.

Who
on Earth is Andy Rogers Anyway?
Andy
Rogers is a worship Leader and
songwriter from the Causeway Coast of Ireland with songs published and
recordings produced on EMI’s Kingsway label.
An
artist on Kingsway’s original ‘New Celts’
album (along with Robin Mark, Brian Houston & Joanne Hogg) and
more recently on ‘Engage24’ with Ian Hannah, his
style has been described as ‘Ethno-Celt’ - a mix of
acoustic ethnic sounds fused with contemporary musical sensibilities.s.
He
has been part of the pioneering team at Causeway
Coast Vineyard under the
leadership of Alan and Kathryn Scott
since 1999 and
continues to serve there with his wife and family.
He
is also one of the founding members of the Coleraine House of Prayer
(C-HOP) team along with Ian Hannah. C-HOP
is an
intercessory worship gathering
in Coleraine, Northern Ireland that started life as a one-off 24hr
worship event back in May 2000 and continues to grow as a regular
gathering of worshipers and intercessors from various church
backgrounds.
Worship
leading throughout Ireland and beyond, his music has taken
him to such diverse venues as churches and conferences to the
nightclubs of Eastern Europe and even the brothels of Thailand (you can
see video clips of that here).
He passionately believes that when people worship then God does amazing
things just like He promised - and it doesn’t have to be
‘in church’.
He
has also created OpenSourceSongs.com,
a global worship songwriting collective where song writers and worship
leaders collaborate freely on an ‘open source’
basis with their ideas.
Andy
lives in Coleraine with his wife, daughters and an old cat named
Tangles!
Here’s
what others are saying:
‘I’ve
known Andy for 18 years -
both as a worship leader in the church I attended as a teenager, and
then as a friend and co-leader as we grew a little older together.
He
is
one of the most
servant-hearted people I know. Few understand, and live out true
worship like Andy - and I feel honored to serve with him because of it!
If
you
ever get the chance to have
him come and lead at your church - or to listen to the songs that he
has been writing - or to input as he explores the whole idea of writing
as an online community (OpenSourceSongs.com)
- I cannot
more highly recommend that you jump at it. Andy really is one in a
million - he’s the real deal.’ - Kathryn
Scott
