Yesterday, I attended the re-scheduled Starfield concert. Less than a month and a half ago, the accident at their concert occurred and several responses to what happened that night ensued, yet none of the responses were as powerful as the one yesterday.
At the concert, five people who were at the last concert were invited to share their testimonies on stage. Among them was the husband whose wife was the most severely injured that night. Today, she praises God even while she is learning to walk again. Such amazing stories and faith. Most people might think that these survivors stayed faithful despite of what happened to them; I agree and I would like to add that they remained faithful BECAUSE of what happened. God was there. I don't care what others say, but God was there on April 25, just like He was there yesterday, has been today, and will be tomorrow. Just like nearly every disaster out there, people pull together to make positive changes, and if others don't see that hope, then these are the people we need to reach out to. In spite of the hardships and the trials they go through, communities resist backing down and surrendering to pain and suffering. Instead they join hearts and hands to make the world a better place than it was before. Did Satan cause the floor to collapse? I don't think so. In this case, I think God allowed for it to happen not only to test us, but to show us how the children of God are strong and loving, as well as how to serve His kingdom in ways we didn't think imaginable before the accident.
Starfield was absolutely amazing. They managed to get us through the song that was interrupted (they said that some fans had to stop the song before the chorus because it traumatized them), lead an incredible worship to our Lord, and reached out personally to the audience with their humourous memories of song and praise before and after they formed the band. I had really, really enjoyed their concert and wished that the night wouldn't end. Their songs reminded and inspired me to give my life wholly to God.
REMAIN
Defender of this heart
You loved me from the start
You never change
Through the highs and lows
As seasons come and go
You never fail
Day after day
Your love will remain
Faithful and true
You are good
CHORUS:
You are God with us
You're victorious
You are strong and mighty to save
For Your word stands true
There is none like You
And when all else fades
You remain
When troubles come my way
You guide and You sustain
Lead me, I pray
Forever You will be
The great eternal King
Now and always
Day after day
Your love will remain
Faithful and true
You are good
When all else fades
You remain
Cause' day after day
You never change
Day after day
You are the same
Day after day
You remain
