New acoustic version of Shane & Shane song on John Piper website
POPULAR CCM duo Shane & Shane have collaborated with Bible teacher
John Piper to record an acoustic rendition of their song "Though You
Slay Me". A video of the track featuring an excerpt from Piper's
message Do Not Lose Heart is available desiringGod.org, which has more
than 20 million annual visits. Shane Barnard spoke about the origins
of the song, "We were praying for our dear friend who was about to
have the lower half of his body amputated, when this verse became the
focal point: 'Though he slay me, yet will I trust him.' (Job 13:15)
And even though the Lord chose to spare my friend from that particular
trouble, the biggest miracle was the overcoming of fear. Happiness
comes and goes like the wind, but our JOY in him remains. Even in the
darkest times, the joy of our salvation can be our strength."
