Jacob's Well

Rain Down Heaven is the latest musical offering to come out of our community, thanks to the songwriting gifts of Tom Wuest, accompanied by other Jacob’s Well members.

read the blurb below and enjoy two samples from the CD.

The thirteen songs on Rain Down Heaven are songs of longing, desperation, and hope, which draw from the voices and yearnings of a cast of biblical characters. Daniel prophesies to King Nebuchadnezzar that, though his dominion reaches to the ends of the earth, he must “come to know that Heaven rules.”

Mary, the young, pregnant mother of Jesus, sings a joyful adulation for the God who scatters the proud, brings the rulers down from their thrones, sends the rich away empty, lifts up the lowly and fills them with good things.

Zechariah and Isaiah speak of the ONE who will order His kingdom with justice and peace, who will suffer the sins of His people and bring healing. Luke and Paul suggest that Isaiah foresaw Jesus as the ONE who would reconcile all of creation to the Creator.

David and Solomon, in their psalms, proclaim the Savior as the ONE who will stand with the lowly and break their chains. Paul reminds us that the powers will be judged. Mark echoes Jesus’ first words and tells the story of the resurrection. John the Baptist recognizes Jesus as the Lamb of God who will take away the sins of the world.

Finally, in the last song, a song written for dear friends on the eve of their move away from Vancouver some years ago, several biblical texts are woven together to capture the deep and universal human longing to be rooted and known.
