I finally uploaded the videos I took during the various Christian concerts I attended almost two weeks ago.
First, here’s Amy Grant singing a classic oldie. Sing with me…”Love will find a way…”
Did you sing? No? Then you missed out on the one and only chance to actually sing with Amy Grant AND me! If you listened closely enough, you might have been able to discern my voice.
No, it wasn’t the sound of an angel but more like a wounded pigeon that ate too much bread from a tourist.
WHATEVER.
I had fun, so there!
Next on the playlist is actually a short video of the people who stood in front of me during the Chris Tomlin concert. They were bopping up and down doing the “white boy pogo stick” dance that Chris instructed the audience to do…
Now you are privy to part of Chris’ famous song, “Amazing Grace/My Chains are Gone.” This is probably one of my favorite songs EVER!
Sorry for the unsteady hand. It’s really hard to hold a camera steady when your heart is about to beat right out of your chest!
Next up is a very small snippet of Michael W. Smith’s “River is Rising.”
And last but not least, this is part of MWS’ song “Friends are Friends Forever.” Oh boy, but this song makes me want to cry every time I hear it. It is a reminder to me that though I might be separated from my friends on earth, I will be reunited with them once we are in heaven.
I have a particular attachment to this song for another reason. It is the song I used for a video I made the summer I worked at my church’s preschool. I had a wonderful class of kids, and it was a great way to spend the summer. During those months, one of my children lost her father to cancer. The mom and I got to know each other pretty well. We saw each other at swim meets and other school functions, and I always asked about her youngest daughter, my student. We had that bond. Last year, the mom passed away very unexpectedly, leaving five children orphaned, and my heart absolutely broke. You might remember me blogging about it.
So, this song brings back those memories as well.
Gee, but I am a downer, eh?
Actually, I’m not, for this song gives me hope. Please enjoy the rather brief portion I recorded (I did you the favor of not singing along to this one)…
