Copyright © The Salvation Army USA Western Territory ISBN 978-0-9768465-8-1 Printed in the United States For my mother, Major Ruth Birks, who always hummed a tune as I was growing up, and who is herself one of God’s great poetic works & my Poet Father, Major Daniel H. Birks— always reading, always writing, always loving. iii Rob Birks has fittingly honored the enduring legacy of Albert Ors- born’s poetic brilliance, bringing the Salvation Army General’s timeless language into a modern context and adding commentary reflecting Birks’ own inimitable personality. I was blessed by this book, strength- ened and challenged in the reading to be a blessing to OTHERS. —Tom Walker, Social Services Secretary The Salvation Army Northwest Division A living faith will find its voice in contemporary idiom. We rightly em- brace in our worship ever fresh expressions of Spirit-inspired praise. If in the process, however, we neglect our own rich hymnodic heritage, we impoverish our worship and limit our spiritual understanding. Ma- jor Rob Birks has recaptured for us the treasure trove of elegant, im- passioned and mature poetic expression to be found in the inspired songs of General Albert Orsborn, our Poet General. Each one merits the kind of spiritually sensitive and down-to-earth reflection that Birks brings to them in this collection of his meditations on them all. The book is a “must” to read and cherish—and to share with all who want to discover the heart of Salvationist spirituality. —General Paul and Commissioner Kay F. Rader (Ret.) I was expecting to be orsbored reading through this, but instead it was orsborlievable. Seriously, this book needs to be in the hands of ev- ery musician within the Army. ORSBORNAGAIN not only helps us bet- ter understand these incredible poems/songs, it is a great reminder that the songs we play and sing should not be limited to just singing and playing, but should serve as a constant source of inspiration in our lives. —Jim Sparks, Youth Development and Leadership Director The Salvation Army Western Territory For those of us who have been Salvationists for many years, the po- etry of Albert Orsborn is not only familiar, but an integral part of our theological DNA. Rob Birks now helps us introduce these treasured writings to a new generation of readers, with additional commentary and reflection that will be helpful to believers of all generations. —Lt. Colonel Stephen Smith, Divisional Commander The Salvation Army Golden State Division iv By its nature, poetry both resists and encourages commentary. Those with a poet’s soul understand this and annotate their subject’s work in ways that provoke humility before the written word while undertak- ing its dissection. Rob Birks’ exploration of the poetry of Albert Ors- born maintains this tension and juxtaposes insights from the poet’s lyrics with reflections on how these poems continue to intersect with human experience. Those readers currently unfamiliar with the poet General will be introduced to a new conversation partner. For those of us who have sung and pondered these words in the past, a fresh take on the familiar is provided, always a welcome surprise. —Bruce Power, Adjunct Professor Booth University College Author of Conversations With God: Psalms as a resource for prayer and meditation Where there is poetry, piety, prayer, and praise, music is never far off. From the psalmists of the Hebrew Bible to U2’s Bono, faith often finds expression in song. This is certainly true of the spiritual writings of General Albert Orsborn, celebrated here with Rob Birks’ characteristic wit, warmth, and charm. This delightful collection of meditations on the General’s poems is sure to inspire readers as they give voice to their own songs of adoration and praise. —Michael Gilmour, Associate Professor Providence University College Author of The Gospel According to Bob Dylan: The Old, Old Story for Modern Times I totally recommend using ORSBORNAGAIN as your daily devotional guide for the next 36 days. Birks’ insightful prose provides a brilliantly current context for Orsborn’s poetry, and the combination of both will lift your soul to worship Jesus! —Major Lisa Smith, Divisional Secretary for Program The Salvation Army Southern California Division Refreshingly contemporary in style, but solidly reflective in thought, Major Rob has managed to reintroduce the classic poetry of General Orsborn into our busy Salvationist lives. The challenge from Scripture and the poetry of song remain through the day, and I am grateful for the chance to actually “hear” some of these poems for the first time. —Commissioner Carol Seiler, Territorial President of Women’s Ministries and Territorial Coordinator for Strategic Mission Planning The Salvation Army Central Territory v General Albert Orsborn’s songs came alive to me as a young officer commissioned in 1950 when he was General. I was blessed to revisit the poetry/songs of this spiritual giant through the thoughts and meditations from the heart and soul of Major Rob Birks. I was drawn in by the personal challenge the author gives to the reader with each song. May ORSBORNAGAIN speak to a new generation who long to live in that sacred and secret place of God’s presence. —Major Carol Madsen-Yardley (Ret.) ORSBORNAGAIN had me reliving not only some classic songs that have shaped my own worship life, but going deeper to the source of the writings—to the spirit’s leading, to the heart of worship, to the deep places! I highly recommend it for your devotional life; it’s been great for mine! —Major Danielle Strickland, Corps Officer Edmonton Crossroads Author of The Liberating Truth: How Jesus Empowers Women Major Birks has not only invited a contemporary audience to appreci- ate the spiritual depth and cadence of General Orsborn’s poetry. He has opened a door to beckon all readers into that quiet place of con- templation and assurance of grace. Our worship can be personal but should never be private. In this book, Major Birks has given us a plat- form to discuss the songs we sing, making our worship more relevant and effectual. —Major Ted Horwood, General Secretary The Salvation Army Angola Command The words of The Salvation Army Song Book have long been consid- ered a great source of devotional material, so I’m most grateful that Rob has taken the timeless and poetic lyrics of General Albert Orsborn and provided extra devotional material for us to meditate on. I have been blessed and uplifted by reading these much loved songs again, together with Rob’s insightful and reflective comments, and I’m sure you will be too. —Major Darren Norton, Corps Officer Pasadena Tabernacle Corps vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword ............................................................................... ix Introduction ......................................................................... xi Put This Book Down! ........................................................... 1 Full-On Sacramental ............................................................. 4 What’s Wrong With the World? ............................................ 7 Here’s to Melting Curses ..................................................... 10 A Really Good Friday .......................................................... 13 Twalumba, Dylan ................................................................ 16 Greater Things Than These ................................................. 19 Promises, Promises ............................................................. 23 Uncle Bob & Healing Waters .............................................. 26 Novel Grace—The Musical ................................................. 30 Were You There? .................................................................. 34 It’s Good Work if You Can Get It ...................................... 37 Sacred Spaces—Even at Denny’s? ....................................... 41 No More! ............................................................................. 45 Burning Love ....................................................................... 48 The Thrill of Victory ............................................................ 52 Do You Have a Bad Good-Work Ethic? .............................. 56 Building Up the Temple ...................................................... 59 Holiness & “MythBusters” .................................................. 62 Promises of Grace ............................................................... 66 vii Water of Life ........................................................................ 70 Long May We Wave ............................................................. 74 Clueless in Seattle ............................................................... 78 In Range or Roaming? ........................................................

An understanding of the core principles of cross-over songs and their relevance in contemporary culture is essential for Christian songwriters. Six albums marked by spiritual overtones or undertones, representing a broad spectrum of contemporary cross-over music, were examined. Selected songs were critiqued by analyzing the album of origin, lyrical content, author’s expressed worldview, and level of commercial success. Renaissance art also provided a historical parallel to modern day songwriting. Recommendations were developed for Christian songwriters to craft songs with greater effectiveness to impact the culture while adhering to a biblical worldview. CHRISTIAN CROSS-OVER SONGWRITING 4 A Survey of Christian Cross-Over Songwriting An exploration of Christian cross-over music can provide an objective framework for evaluating songs and developing guidelines for Christian songwriters so they can enhance their effectiveness in communicating with their audiences.

  • Sparrow Records Discography
    Sparrow Discography by Mike Callahan, David Edwards & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Sparrow Records Discography Sparrow is a Contemporary Christian label founded in 1976 by Billy Ray Hearn. Hearn was the A&R Director for Word Records’ Myrrh label, founded a few years earlier also as a Contemporary Christian label. Sparrow also released records under their Birdwing subsidiary. Hearn’s Sparrow label was in competition with Hearn’s old boss, Word Records, and was quite successful. Even today, Sparrow is among the top Christian labels. Hearn sold the label to EMI in 1992, and it was placed under the Capitol Christian Music Group. Sparrow signed a distribution agreement with MCA in April, 1981 to release their product in the secular market while the regular Sparrow issues were distributed to Christian stores and Christian radio stations. The arrangement with MCA lasted until October, 1986, when Sparrow switched distribution to Capitol.

  • Contemporary Christian Music & The
    PLAYING THE MARKET: CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN MUSIC & THE THEORY OF RELIGIOUS ECONOMY by Jamie Carrick B.A., The University of Calgary, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Religious Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2012 © Jamie Carrick, 2012 Abstract Contemporary Christian music (CCM) is a fascinating and understudied part of the religious vitality of modern American religion. In this dissertation the theory of religious economy is proposed as a valuable and highly serviceable methodological approach for the scholarly study of CCM. The theory of religious economy, or the marketplace approach, incorporates economic concepts and terminology in order to better explain American religion in its distinctly American context. In this study, I propose three ways in which this method can be applied. Firstly, I propose that CCM artists can be identified as religious firms operating on the “supply-side” of the religio-economic dynamic; it is their music, specifically the diverse brands of Christianity espoused there within, that can allow CCM artists to be interpreted in such a way. Secondly, the diversity within the public religious expressions of CCM artists can be recognized as being comparable to religious pluralism in a free marketplace of religion. Finally, it is suggested that the relationship between supply-side firms is determined, primarily, by the competitive reality of a free market religious economy. ii Table of Contents Abstract . ii Table of Contents . iii List of Figures . iv Acknowledgements . v 1 Introduction . 1 1.1 Introduction . 1 1.2 Religion & Popular Culture .

  • Abstract Birds, Children, and Lonely Men in Cars and The
    ABSTRACT BIRDS, CHILDREN, AND LONELY MEN IN CARS AND THE SOUND OF WRONG by Justin Edwards My thesis is a collection of short stories. Much of the work is thematically centered around loneliness, mostly within the domestic household, and the lengths that people go to get out from under it. The stories are meant to be comic yet dark. Both the humor and the tension comes from the way in which the characters overreact to the point where either their reality changes a bit to allow it for it, or they are simply fooling themselves. Overall, I am trying to find the best possible way to describe something without actually describing it. I am working towards the peripheral, because I feel that readers believe it is better than what is out in front.

  • RADIO's DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING in the 21St
    RADIO’S DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING IN THE 21st CENTURY BY JOHN NATHAN ANDERSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John C. Nerone, Chair and Director of Research Associate Professor Michelle Renee Nelson Associate Professor Christian Edward Sandvig Professor Daniel Toby Schiller ii ABSTRACT The interaction of policy and technological development in the era of “convergence” is messy and fraught with contradictions. The best expression of this condition is found in the story behind the development and proliferation of digital audio broadcasting (DAB). Radio is the last of the traditional mass media to navigate the convergence phenomenon; convergence itself has an inherently disruptive effect on traditional media forms. However, in the case of radio, this disruption is mostly self-induced through the cultivation of communications policies which thwart innovation. A dramaturgical analysis of digital radio’s technological and policy development reveals that the industry’s preferred mode of navigating the convergence phenomenon is not designed to provide the medium with a realistically useful path into a 21st century convergent media environment. Instead, the diffusion of “HD Radio” is a blocking mechanism proffered to impede new competition in the terrestrial radio space. HD Radio has several critical shortfalls: it causes interference and degradation to existing analog radio signals; does not have the capability to actually advance the utility of radio beyond extant quality/performance metrics; and is a wholly proprietary technology from transmission to reception.
