Barry Blaze is best known for
being the creator, driving force, and voice of the 90’s band Code of Ethics. In
2000 he put out his last CD “Blaze” on Word Records. After 11 years on the road
and at the end of the “Blaze” tour he asked a soul searching question, “O.K.
God, what next?”
Soon after, a phone call from a pastor in Jacksonville, Florida led Barry and
his wife Cynthia back to his home town and to a position on a church staff as
Worship Leader. This was an awesome opportunity to use the leadership skills God
had equipped him with, and see ministry and life change on a weekly basis.
Worship became, and is still Barry’s passion.
On May 1st, 2004, while enjoying his favorite pastime of motorcycling, Barry had
a near-fatal accident caused by an unanticipated thunderstorm. Severe head
trauma caused significant and permanent hearing and eyesight loss.
The title track to Barry’s new CD “Patiently Waiting” was penned in the middle
of one night while Barry couldn’t sleep. He was contemplating again “O.K. God,
what next?” He wondered why the God that loved him so much, the One who placed
this passion of worship in his heart, would allow the possibility of never
hearing the beauty of music again. It was during the 3 years of ongoing
surgeries and recovery that the songs on this CD were inspired, written and
recorded.
There are songs of waiting for God’s voice and reassurance. There are also songs
of love, praise and thanks to the Creator who knows all things and works them
together for His good.
Through God’s power alone, Barry continues to lead worship each week, record
music as an artist, and serve the Great Comforter who is worthy of all our
praise.
Hope you have a GREAT Weekend! Comment back Would love to hear from you!
Mary Had a Little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb, His fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, The Lamb was sure to go. He followed her to school each day, Twasnt even in the rule. He made the children laugh and play. To have a Lamb at school. And then the rules all changed one day, illegal it became; To bring the Lamb of God to school, Or even speak his Name. Everyday got worse and worse, And days turned into years. Instead of hearing children laugh, We heard gun shot and tears. What must we do to stop the crime, That's in our schools today? Let's let the Lamb come back to school, And teach our kids to PRAY!
