SC, my husband and I truly enjoyed your song. It’s been about 25 years since we’ve moved on from the Nee/Lee church, but after spending about 23 years there, immersed in mainly the lsm material, and after having been heavily involved in every aspect of the ‘church life’, of course, your heart-felt words resonated with us, and even caused our eyes to well up. Regardless of the wrongs committed there, and the methods instituted, and some errant teachings, which finally combined to push us out, and even though the ’recovery’ was and still is a stifling movement, nobody can take away the pure love for the Lord, and life commitment to Him that many of us experienced together. We may have been deceived through ignorance, maybe willfully, but many of us still have a sincere aspiration to live according to the Lord’s will, which we vainly thought, then, was privileged knowledge for only those ’on the proper ground.’ That system, along with its culture, its dictates, impositions, etc., gradually replaced our own personal seeking, and we saw the church’s first love also replaced with ambition and performance (generally speaking). I’m so glad you decided it was time to release ‘After all these years…’, which I have enjoyed sharing with others. Thank you.
