Art Story Mission

ECL Lead Pastor Coby Cagle shares a prayer from Korean composer Geonyong Lee, and offers a meditation on the role of lament and intercession in Advent.Geon-yong Lee was born in 1947 in Pyongannam-do, in what is now North Korea. His father was a minister. Following the Korean War, the family moved to what is now South Korea in 1953 where Mr. Lee grew up in Seoul. He grew to become a very influential composer. Mr. Lee is among the many Anglicans actively working toward reunification of the Korean peninsula. Mr. Lee composed the words and music of this hymn in 1988 while attending a workshop at Bossey, Geneva, with the World Council of Churches.During Advent and Christmas, Art Story Mission is exploring Prayer through a curated collection of historical and multicultural prayers.
