lyrics

Sweet Brother Saul
Words & music: Susan Booth Mack Snipes

He was a man on a mission-- a mission of hatred
His goal to kill the Christians-- see men and women all dead.
He went to the priest to get letters--letters to Damascus
So if he found any Christians in that way, he could murder them.

Chorus
Brother Saul, sweet Brother Saul,
Your work was misguided, but the Christ comes to all.
Transforming thought--till our nature becomes Paul,
Redeeming, baptizing us, delivering one and all.

Saul it is hard for you to kick against the pricks.
Despite threats and slaughter your redemption comes quick.
I am the light of the Christ that will blind you just now,
But fear not nor be dismayed, for only good will I allow.

As he journeyed along, then he saw a great light.
He fell to the earth as a voice said with might.
Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
Who are you Lord, please show yourself, for I cannot see.

Chorus

Trembling and astonished, he asked, what should I do?
Arise, go to the city--you’ll be told what you must do!
And the men who were with him, oh, they heard the voice too!
But they could see no one speaking, so who it was they never knew.

They led him by the hand--he was three days without sight.
He prayed and did wait, without food, or drink, or light,
But he’d had a vision of a man--a man he knew would come.
Ananias was his name, the Christian who would heal him.

Chorus

Faithful Ananias-- he too had been listening--
Overcame his fear of Saul, while steadfastly praying.
For the Lord said, fear not, this is my chosen vessel,
To bear forth my name, before all of the Gentiles.

Ananias came in, laid his hands upon Saul,
Said I’ve been sent by the Christ, your sight to restore.
You are filled now with the Holy Ghost, and immediately Paul could see.
His new mission then to declare the Christ, the son of God that makes men free.

Redemption standing tall. Redemption you are whole.
Redemption is His call. Redemption for us all!

about

The Solo Committee Hernando, Florida

In May of 2001 a small group of people began holding Christian Science Sunday services on the south side of St. Louis. It was a precious group of people, and Susan, a Christian Science practitioner, decided to drag out her old guitar and write some church solos. She soon was joined by Carey and Sue Loomis and The Solo Committee was born. Over the years they have produced 11 albums. ... more
