Hello, I wanted to present one last piece of music but, after listening again, I’m not sure of a phrase from the song compared to the Bible. It is in the hands of the Holy Spirit and I will present it to you possibly next time. I enjoyed sharing these different works with you. Jean-Francois Bongrand

Today, I am keen to talk about Franco-German friendship. It is the fruit of reconciliation. It is a chance. I believe that this friendship, always to be nurtured and deepened, is a source of blessing for the whole world. So we’re off to Germany to listen to « Punk Diva » Nina Hagen. After a spiritual and human journey, she gave her life to Jesus and was baptized in a Reformed Temple in 2009 in Schüttdorf. Following her baptism, she released the album « Personal Jesus » and the book « Confessions » in which she recounts her journey. We listen to the track “Just a little talk with Jesus” with country pop sounds. In picture, Adenauer and General de Gaulle attending a Te Deum in Reims Cathedral. Prophetic moment, symbol of the friendship between our two nations. Jean-François Bongrand

« You grace has found me just as I am » What sublime lyrics from the pop rock group Delirious? in their song: « Majesty (Here I am) », performed in different churches for praise. A God who does not judge us, who does not abandon us to our condition, to our weaknesses but who loves us with unconditional love. Even dying on the cross to offer us his infinite grace. Good listening, Jean-François Bongrand

Tonight, we go to the magnificent cliffs of Etretat, in Normandy, where the band Patrick Bonhomme & Minha recorded a very beautiful clip for their track « Ressuscité ». Gospel Pop music and a deep text, full of faith and which has meaning. Jean-François Bongrand

We start our music week with the band Koinonia, pioneer of Christian jazz-funk. « Koinonia » is a Greek word, found several times in the New Testament, meaning « intimate fellowship. » In this album, the group offers us rich, joyful and festive pieces conducive to celebrating communion with God three times holy and between men, communion possible thanks to the death and resurrection of Christ. The members, talented instrumentalists, have collaborated with different artists, especially bassist, Abraham Laboriel, and percussionist, Alex Acuna.
