What's So

"What’s So” by John Paul White is a song about the importance of being rooted. The song opens with these lines:Hole in the road Sun on your back Shoulder the load Your ancestors passed Wear on your sleeve The virtues you lack But don't get above your raisingModern society is transient. Modern work life has people moving from one place to another and many of us experience the absence of rootedness. Many people feel uprooted and disconnected. The Gospel offers a solution in that all of the work of God is connected to a particular time and place with a particular people. Rootedness in Christ, in the church, and in communion establishes us on a solid foundation.
