Exalted Dirt - "Sentinels" @ A Praise in the Park 2023

0:00 Welcome and opening prayer
0:52 "Sentinels"

Rob Haley and I opened the day's events with this song as part of our benediction. His wife, Diana recorded all of the songs we played that day.

There is a little bit of the high-pitched click track bleeding through at the beginning, but I decided to leave the recording how it is, au naturale, instead of digitally altering it. Rob went through a great deal of trouble figuring out how to completely isolate the left from the right in our practice studio, but it still shows up in our performances there at the park. If anyone out there knows of a simple way to make sure this works everytime we go out, that would be HELPFUL!

"Sentinels" is our first collaboration, I'd say. Rob gave me a quick instrumental recording he had made before we met, and I chopped it up and added some lyrics I had scribbled down.

A Praise in the Park is an annual event I have been hosting in Orrville, Ohio around the middle of July since 2016.

(lyrics)

Sentinels
Clothed in gleaming white
Massive swords drawn to drive out the enemy

Lord Jesus, appoint Your angels
At the four corners of this place
Spiritual wickedness forbidden

Your blood upon the frames of our doorways
Your blood upon us and our children
