Man down

IMG_3341

A member of the Catch Ministry’s Vanguard may be momentarily down, but her resilience shines through while the four other members of the Vanguard continue to lead an army of believers in support of the vision, demonstrating their unwavering strength.

While the following song is written specifically for Marti, the work of the Catch Ministry’s Vanguard is seen in each line:

She’s a rebel; she’s a lady

She’s a ticket to a Broadway show

There’s no doubt that she’s a winner

No beginner, you have got to know that

Chorus:

She is walking into all situations

She is working hard

She’s a leader in a new generation

Vanguard

She’s a servant of the people

She’s a sentry of the human soul

She’s a heart of compassion

She can see the highest goal

(And together …)

They are walking into all situations

They are working hard

They are leaders in a new generation

Vanguard

Keeping all their fears down under

Against the flow

The price they pay is high no wonder

Only a few will know

There’s a purpose in their posture

There’s a wisdom in their widening eyes

They make a pathway with their footsteps

With their hands, they take the prize

They are walking into all situations

They are working hard

They are leaders in a new generation

Vanguard

Vanguard

No Vanguard depends on one leader, but rather, together, they are always moving forward, and when necessary, if one steps behind for whatever reason and before she can step back in, they are covering her and increasing their efforts. They and I are happy to know she will be returning soon.

    Great teamwork mentioned in the message and the best to Marti. You all are a great close family and cannot say thank you enough for all you do each and every day. I am doing better with my mental health combining medicine with counseling and always prayer, Bible Reading, and you all reminding me the importance each moment of God thru his Son Jesus. Take care, God Bless, and keep moving along.

    Is it man down or woman down? Whatever your reason for being down Marti, prayer went up for you that whatever ails you will be gone soon. and you will be back to your young ways of innovation and seeing things from a compassionate angle to name but a few of your attributes. 

  3. May whomever is on temporary leave due to illness, reassignment, or other personal necessity find good health, focused orientation, and beneficial resolutions that culminate in wisdom, contentment, comfort, known grace, and Shalom, Peace

    Did you just ‘coin’ these lyrics ? I cannot find them anywhere on the web. My mom loved Broadway and this song reminded me of her. Thank you John !
