Eternal Praise
Here's a new worship tune that I've been working on called "Eternal Praise." It's based off a hymn with some additional lyrics.
From all that dwell below the skies
Let the creators praise arise
Let the redeemers name be sung
Eternal are your mercies Lord
Eternal truth attends your word
Let the redeemers name be sung
Your praise will sound from shore to shore
Till suns shall rise and set no more
Let the redeemers name be sung
Let the redeemers name be sung
From angels in their lofty place
The seraphim that hide their face
Let the redeemers name be sung
From the humble and the broken saints
Around your throne eternal praise
Let the redeemers name be sung
Every nation tribe and tongue
Sing praises to the risen Son
Let the redeemers name be sung
Let the redeemers name be sung
Your name is Jesus, Jesus
Name above all names
Jesus Jesus
Let heaven and earth proclaim
Your praise will sound from shore to shore
Till suns shall rise and set no more
Let the redeemers name be sung
One day every knee will bow
Every voice will sing it loud
Let the redeemers name be sung
Seated in the highest place
around your throne eternal praise

Severely Interrupted
And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple.
1 Kings 8:11
They had the countdown video ready to roll. They had the high energy opening song rehearsed. Videos were cued, lyrics were spell checked, sound system was tuned, intelligent lights were on stand by, and the fog machine was adding an ominous mist to the stage. I'm sure the head priest was back in the green room going over his message one last time and making sure he gets the timing on that hilarious anecdote just right. But then, something happened: a cloud - the glory of the Lord filled the temple and everything that was entered in planningcenter.com didn't really matter anymore.
I want just one of those services (but I'd take more than one). Where my best laid plans are severely interrupted by the Holy Spirit and all we can simply do is rest in His presence.
