Today at church, we heard the best cover of a Linkin Park song. Now you may be wondering, "Why did a band perform a Linkin Park song at church?" Jeff Kapusta, pastor at Lifepoint Church, is in the middle of a series titled God at the Billboard. Basically, the series looks at today's popular songs and how the words can reflect scripture and God's message. It is a great series. This week the worship band performed "What I've Done" by Linkin Park. The band is amazing every week. This week they were exceptional. Before we go further, let us mention that we realize the purpose of the band and it's role during the service. They play with the true intent to worship and serve genuinely with humility. With that said, today they rocked. We have heard many bands, in many bars, perform many cover songs, from many different bands. Today's performance at church ranks with the best. The band was impressive, but the vocal by Dave Holt was phenomenal! Dave hit every note with such accuracy, it was as if the song was written for his voice. This extraordinary performance not only showcased the hard work and talent of the worship band, but begged for an encore. Sadly, after Jeff finished his sermon, they re-played only a third of the song and we were dismissed. Encore...Encore!
You can check out the sermon here at lifepointnow.com. If you are not familiar with the song, here are the lyrics:
In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no alibi
Cause I’ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
Well I cleaned this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty
For what I’ve done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I’m forgiving what I’ve done
