Job 1:21b (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a 6-letter word
In the lead up to this puzzle going live I discovered that I hadn't written any introduction! So now I have to try and remember how this puzzle came into being more than 12 months down the track. And I have to confess that I can't precisely recollect! However, I have a sneaking suspicion that it happened one Sunday at church as we were singing a song by Matt Redman. And then working out the puzzle mechanics just might have distracted me from the sermon! The answer to the meta is a 6-letter word.

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
