In This Episode
In this episode of Renewed, Greg Scheer introduces a worship song that is truly “Ancient-Future” as it is rooted in the past, but looks forward to the future. The original text of “Come, Holy Ghost” was written in 8th century Germany and given a new tune and refrain in 21st century Indianapolis.
