Worship

In my school, we have chapel every Friday. It is an hour or so where we sing songs and have a speaker (a teacher or a guest) to boost our spiritual lives and re-direct our focus. It is a great way to head into a weekend...and I find myself looking forward to chapel with immense anticipation. Because of my superb piano playing skills (or not), I play keyboards for our "worship team."

This past week, we sang a song called, "When I don't Know What to Do."

Lyrics go as such:

When I don't know what to do, I lift my hands

When I don't know what to say, I speak Your praise

When I don't know where to go, I come to Your throne

When I don't know what to think, I'll stand on Your truth

When I d0n't know what to do...

I guess reading the words sound like your typical praise song, but really, when I'm playing the piano and singing with 635 (to be exact) other kids/teachers it is a phenomenal experience.

Our leader, Jacob, introduced this new song to us this week. And my uncle has a special name for songs like them. This is a classic example of a 7-11. (Seven words sung eleven times.) BUT. I would like to share the thought behind it. It is called, "Because the Tomb is Empty." And that's basically the extent of the song :o)

Juuust kidding. It actually is an ad-lib song. So the main part goes, "Because the tomb is empty _______ "(i.e. I have hope...) But Jacob made a point when he said, "How many things can we do because the tomb is empty? How often do we recognize Jesus' sacrifice when it comes to our lives and how we live them out. " And some of his verses went,

Because the tomb is empty...

...We can pray outloud

...We have hope of eternal life

...Death has lost its sting

...I can have no fear

...lives will be changed

This as well was awesome.

God is good, All the time.
