Bigger Story

Do you ever buy something then leave it in the package for who-knows-how-long? I did that with Christine Dente’s CD Becoming. Bought it in a bargain bin at Scott’s Parable in Saskatoon, but didn’t open it until this week. Providential timing, perhaps, because the second song speaks directly to things Kathleen and I are wrestling with as we edit Samantha’s First Story for release in the near future. I’ll be adding this song to my repertoire.

Bigger Story

by Christine Dente, Charlie Peacock, & Scott Dente

In a little town, in a little world
I wrote the memories of a little girl
Little did I know, as the story was unfolding
It would take me down the narrow way
Throw the gate wide open

All my life, I was waiting for an invitation
To be a part of the conversation
Living in a bigger story
All this time was a history-in-the-making
I was headed for a destination
To take my place in the bigger story

So I listen in and I hear the song
From another country and I sing along
And I play my part as the story goes
And the difference that it will make
Is a tale yet to be told

All my life is an answer to the invitation
To be a part of the conversation
Living in a bigger story
All this time is history-in-the-making
Always headed for a destination
To take my place in the bigger story
I'm taking my place in the bigger story

All my life, all my life is an answer to the invitation
Living in a bigger story
All this time, all this time I was headed for a destination
Taking my place in the bigger story
All my life living in the bigger story
All this time, bigger story
All my life living in the bigger story

Christine’s latest project (with producer husband Scott Dente) is Voyage.
