Shai Linne, Dr. Rick Horne - Intro (Storiez) lyrics

Good evening, ladies and gentleman welcome
To our presentation of Storiez
Presented by Lamp Mode Recordings my name is
Rick Horne and I'll be your host

From the earliest records of civilization
Human beings have used storytelling
As a powerful
Tool to communicate all that is considered
Significant regarding human experience
Over time, this has included everything from
The classic struggle
Between good and evil to simple
Descriptions of everyday life
Or even the use of the imagination to create
Mythical worlds although the media
Through which these
Stories are transmitted have changed
Over the years, the passions
That lie at the root
Remain unchanged of course
This is because human nature
It'self has not changed

The late author and philosopher CS lewis is
Quoted in his Christian
Reflections as saying
"History is a story written by the finger
Of God" with this in mind
Human history and countless stories contained
Within it can be seen
From two vantage points the
First would be characterized
As secular history
Or how humanity has lived out it's
Existence without regard for it's
Creator the second vantage point- the
Biblical one- sees human
History as the stage upon which
God Himself-as the writer, director and
Main character- has been actively at
Work for His redemptive purposes
And ultimately the glory of Jesus Christ

In tonight's program
We'll present a number of
Narratives which will
Seek to explore and unpack
A few small stories, with
The aim of shedding light on
The greatest story of
All we encourage you to
Relax by sitting back
Dimming the lights and perhaps sipping
A fresh cup of tea
We have some wonderful musical
Selections for your enjoyment
