Seemed to be a GREAT choir practice last night!
I can’t wait to start Alive Forever (Easter Musical)…I mean, we’ve already begun singing songs from it, but I can’t wait to get the books/CDs/Tapes….EXCITING!!!!Some highlights of the 18th Psalm:
1 I love you, O LORD , my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold
3 I call to the LORD , who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.
———-
30 As for God, his way is perfect;
the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield
for all who take refuge in him.
31 For who is God besides the LORD ?
And who is the Rock except our God?
———-
46 The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted be God my Savior!
———-
49 Therefore I will praise you among the nations, O LORD ;
I will sing praises to your name.
———-What a beautiful Psalm this whole thing is! I really think anyone who wants to learn about worship can start in the Psalms. The heartfelt cries of King David are a great model for how to express ourselves to our Master. David is open and honest before the Lord. He knows God’s place, and continually exalts God–and he knows his own place, and often wallows in his despair, crying out to God for help. Incredible…
read the Psalms, NOW!btw- this soundtrack is great! Props to Edward Shearmur for a great score!

You know, I was really pumped up last night after you were talking about how that worship guy was so wrapped up in the worship that it stops being a performance and starts being true worship between you and God. That was awesome. Gives us something to strive for.
Great practice last night. My voice is shot, but it was worth it. I can sing SO much better than when I started coming to Midway…
Thanks!
2 eprops for you!
