"I'll Follow" is an original composition by Color. The song was inspired by the John 10:27-30, otherwise known as The Good Shepherd.
The song encourages us to take a leap of faith, trusting that God will lead us where we need to go. A difficult prayer, especially when things happen in our life that cause us to ask the "why me" "why them" questions. A prayer nevertheless that answers the call for us to "Follow God" , follow the example of Jesus Christ and to use our gifts in service of others, to bring comfort, and to help them when they may be lost.

"Lord I'll follow, run to You, my Good Shepherd I will serve you with my life"... this reflection on John 10:27-30 challenges us with a call to action.

We bring you another episode of Contemplative Worship, this time focusing on the Risen Christ. This episode is another compilation of recordings made in individual homes as we continue to self isolate to prevent the spread of Covid 19. We hope that the music, reflections and prayer will allow for your own contemplation and worship.
Some of the music in this episode can be found on the album Breathe, recorded by Color in 2016. As usual we encourage you to reach out to us with any comments by emailing [email protected].
God bless,

Welcome to another episode of Contemplative Worship. We invite you to free your mind to allow for prayerful imagination as we take a contemplative journey via the stations of the cross. All of the reflections and music in this episode have been prepared, read and sung by members of Color Music Ministry located in Barbados. Remember that you can send us comments at anytime via [email protected]. We would love to hear from you.
Members of Color created this episode virtually as each person recorded in their “home studio” i.e. bedrooms, living rooms, cars, struggling with all sorts of noises as we are all self isolating with families due to the pandemic. In our homes we are surrounded by Caribbean wildlife, some of which unfortunately, can be heard in the background.
Special thank you to our teen contributor Brandon, who recorded At the Cross Her Station Keeping on the piano. Also to Chris for permission to use your beautiful painting as our backdrop for this episode.
We pray God’s blessings on all of our listeners.

This is our first virtual offering of Contemplative Worship or CW as we affectionately call it. Once per month the Choir of Our Lady of the Rosary would usually host a 2-hour CW session in one of the Roman Catholic Churches in Barbados. The sessions combine music, reflection, silence, prayer and provide a space for quiet contemplation and worship. We had always hoped to provide some of these sessions online at some point . Given the restrictions in place all over the world due to the pandemic, we find ourselves self isolating but still wanting to have a piece of CW and to have a space to just take some time out to commune with our Lord. We hope that this episode will bring a little bit of CW to those of you who are accustomed to attending, and to those of you who are experiencing it for the first time.
Please feel free to email us at [email protected] with any comments. Thank you for listening. May God bless you and keep you safe.
