Patrick Lundy and the Gift of Music By Rev. Tish Thomas T hroughout Biblical chronology, we see where God has used music in a myriad of ways to bless, heal and deliver His people. David played his harp to soothe the evil spirit that dwelt in Saul, granting him relief and caus- ing the spirit to flee. In anointed music, there can be found an abundance of peace and solace; a soothing for one’s soul. These are the types of uplifting, refreshing, healing and melodious sounds of Patrick Lundy and the Temple Choir. A native of Thomasville, Georgia, Lundy’s parents recognized his gifts and talents when he was just a toddler pulling his momma’s pots and pans out of the kitchen cabinets to make “mu- sic.” Surely, the banging and clanging then was not as harmonious as it is now, but more impor- tantly, they recognized that their young son had Tommy Lee a gift of music. He received his first junior piano at the age of 2 or 3 and quickly graduated to a real one and began taking formal piano lessons. 20 • Joshua’s Journal • Winter 2014 20 • Joshua’s Journal • Winter 2014
