Today I found heaven…
And I can tell you where it is…
787 Hale Road Memphis Tennessee 38116 USA…
Here…
A two-hour service with Bishop A.L. Green aka Mr Al Green.
This man today lead the service for 90 minutes – preaching, singing and bringing joy and laughter. A twenty-odd choir, a full electric band – keys, guitar, drums, base and bongos, as well as a grand piano and three other preachers.
When Al sang “Amazing Grace”, I was so moved – never have I heard the song in such an emotion-charged setting, sung with skill, beauty and elegance. Never I believe will I hear that tune again with such emotional resonance. During the plate collection, he sang “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” and I was a true believer. So uplifting. So optimistic. So soothing.
When I took up my offering, he asked me where I was from and then he let the whole congregation know that there were Australians in this House.
At the end of the ceremony, many went up for a blessing – he put his hand on their head and then prayed and sang, other preachers gathered around in case the recipient might fall in a trance-like state.
What an experience and we were lucky that Bishop Green was in Memphis and led the whole service. Praise The Lord.
