This Sunday will be "Baptism of the Lord" Sunday to remind the baptism of Jesus, and also have a moment to renew our baptism.
The chancel choir will lift up " The River" as our anthem. Thinking about Jesus' baptism gives me a thought of humility. He is the Son of God but totally was humbled himself. This picture is the baptism of the Lord from Cathedral of our Lady of the angels in LA, California. When I went there to perform, I was inspired with this picture. It was hung right behind a baptismal water pond in the sanctuary. I am not sure whether Jesus was baptised like this picture, but could feel His wholesome of humility. I want to be deeply humble to God more than anything else.
All choirs have started rehearsals again this week. Please pray for our music ministry to grow in God to worship, and praise Him with all our best. I am very excited to observe how God will lead us in our music ministry in 2010!
Here is the text of our anthem this week.
Shall we gather at the river, where bright angel feet have trod, with its crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God?
Yes, we will gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river; gather with the saints at the river that flows by the throne of God. "Deep river, my home is over Jordan. Deep river, Lord, I want to cross over into campground.
O don't you want to go to that gospel feast, that promised land where all is peace?
O don't you want to go to that promised land, that land where all is peace?
Shall we gather at the river, the beautiful, beautiful river, gather with the saints at the river that flows by the throne of God!
