God of the Moon and Stars
Eddie Gibbs introduced us to this amazing song and video at the Ecclesia conference. Its written by a dutch singer and I am not sure if his name. But, its a really moving video.

Field Notes on Bi-Vocational Church Leadership in Suburban America
I’m the pastor of The Well in Feasterville, PA about 30 minutes Northeast of Philadelphia; Designer, Programmer, Owner of 343design; Website specialist for MyOhai; Board Member for Lemonade International; Member of the Ecclesia Network; Father of four boys and husband.
Over the years this blog has focused on the the calling of the church in suburban America. This has naturally transitioned into thoughts and questions around the nature of leadership and community life in this unique context.

The video and the song are coherent, heartwarming and moving. Each hit of a note corresponds to a symbolic or rather depicting picture that speaks the song’s lyrics. Well crafted to impart what the song is all about and what it tries to convey. Simply amazing.
FYI, the song “God of the moon and stars”, was written and performed by Kees Kraaijenoord, a dutch singer/songwriter.

This song was in fact composed by Paul Field, a London songwriter. Paul also composed Testify to Love which was a No 1 hit for Wynonna Judd and Avalon.
This is not to detract from Kees K’s beautiful interpretation.
Best wishes

What a strange story. I made that video in about 2004 – I have no idea how it got on youtube. I too was convinced it was Kees song. Only because Roy Crowne and Eddie Gibbs (speakers at that conference) were with me when I made the video for them to use. They were sure it was Kees song.
We only made the video becuase the ppt version they took directly from Kees was all over the place on its timings.
