#696: Jesus Calls Us; o'er the Tumult

I don't really think we need that semicolon, but here we are. Somewhat fittingly, wrapping up the stewardship section on Thanksgiving Day--this may turn into another blog post but I feel like having a religious worldview makes it pretty reasonable to be like "oh, it's autumn, our culture has a harvest festival to give thanks for abundant food and ultimately, direct our thanks to God," without having to be like "what if patriotism OH NO" about it. Anyway. This isn't really a harvest song, it's about following Jesus, and is kind of notable for mentioning the apostle Andrew without his more famous brother Peter. Andrew is described as the first disciple Jesus called, and therefore the one commemorated at the beginning of the church year (late November, also fitting). This also gave rise to a blog post many many years ago on another site about the significance of the fictional character Andrew Wiggin's name.
