Thank you David—I’m soaring.
And for me that takes a lot of lift off power!
Wonderful music to start this Sunday worship.

This was a beautiful beginning for my Advent 1. Thanks David – and thanks to Johann and Nuria.

I looked it up, it starts:
“Soar joyfully upwards to the exalted stars,
you tongues that are now joyful in Zion!
Yet Stop!
The sound need not travel so far,
The Lord of Glory Himself appraoches you.
