I do believe this may be the best DVD I have purchased in a long time. From 1979 to 1981, Bob Dylan only sang songs that he wrote which reflected a Christian perspective and theology.
I don't know if he was "born again" or not. Many people still debate that fact. All I know is that the words that he wrote are incredibly meaningful and watching these great gospel singers interpret and cover these songs has been a moving and soul searching experience.
I offer you the lyrics of Dylan's song, What Can I Do For You?
"You have given everything to me. What can I do for You? You have given me eyes to see. What can I do for You? Pulled me out of bondage and You made me renewed inside, Filled up a hunger that had always been denied, Opened up a door no man can shut and You opened it up so wide And You've chosen me to be among the few. What can I do for You? You have laid down Your life for me. What can I do for You? You have explained every mystery. What can I do for You?Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie. Who would deliver him from the death he's bound to die? Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do. What can I do for You? You have given all there is to give. What can I do for You? You have given me life to live. How can I live for You?I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts, I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts, Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart. Well, I don't deserve it but I sure did make it through. What can I do for You?"
What a great question. It has been my prayer this week: Lord, what can I do for you?
