Lenten Devotional AT40 Day 1: Uptown Funk, Mark Ronson
Gospel according to The American Top Forty.
My Lenten spiritual journey this year involves a daily meditation on the American Top Forty list for Saturday Feb 14, 2015. Each day I will reflect on one of the songs on that list. I will begin with the number one song and conclude with the fortieth song.
Today's song is Up Town Funk by Mark Ronson. I love that this song has a Hallelujah chorus that disrupts the Lenten fast right on Ash Wednesday. This reminds me that the good news of Christ is disruptive, especially in the uptown crowd.
The song has a great beat that sucks you in. Throughout this song there is a reversal of fortune vibe that approximates Jesus sermon on the mount. What do you think?
