Zion, City of God<br />

1975<br />

There is a holy hill of God, a spiritual Zion, a mounta<strong>in</strong> whereupon<br />

His house is built, which the w<strong>in</strong>g of the Almighty overshadows;<br />

and His sheep feed there.<br />

Isaac Pen<strong>in</strong>gton (a Quaker) 1676<br />

The even<strong>in</strong>g sun streamed through the w<strong>in</strong>dows of the meet<strong>in</strong>g<br />

room at Ashburnham as the harmony of guitar and mandol<strong>in</strong><br />

held us <strong>in</strong> the presence of the Spirit. John Cornish and<br />

Pete sat on the floor amidst 200 worshippers and led us <strong>in</strong> a<br />

holy jamm<strong>in</strong>g session. We lifted <strong>our</strong> <strong>hearts</strong> <strong>in</strong> the spiritual<br />

song and the praise took us higher. New tongues harmonised<br />

like threads <strong>in</strong> a tapestry. The <strong>in</strong>struments jo<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> and a<br />

group of sisters danced before the Lord. The gathered church<br />

did feel like a holy place. The ‘w<strong>in</strong>g of the Almighty’ was overshadow<strong>in</strong>g<br />

us and the atmosphere was rich with God’s presence.<br />
