It happens every year.
A couple of months before our Christmas music presentation
at my beloved Fielder Church,
the choir members each receive a "voice part CD."
The part we sing is highlighted on the CD, and we
are to listen to our songs over and over
(probably mostly as we drive!)
until that music is drummed into our brains.
So when I read about friends who are already
listening to their favorite Christmas music,
I have to admit I get a little jealous.
I can't put Michael W. Smith or Michael Buble on yet,
because I don't have the ups and downs
of the Hallelujah Chorus quite mastered.
(I am quite good with the words. That's a joke.)
Actually,
there are words that give me trouble.
They belong to
Do You Hear What I Hear?
"What a wum bah dah nye ee ay o...Woh oh!"
It's great!
The selection with which I have the least difficulty
is also, perhaps, my favorite.
It is a beautiful arrangement of
John 3:16 and 17 called
God So Loved The World.
Even though I do not need to go over the music
or words, I find myself backing up my CD
over and over to sing it one more time.
Our Christmas concert is two weeks from tomorrow,
December 6th at 4:00 in the afternoon.
I can promise you it will set a great tone for
your Christmas season of celebrating.
(Whether you've already started listening to
Christmas music or not.)
Cousin Sarah is coming all the way from Arizona
to hear us!
Well...she is also going to take in
Sanders Family Christmas
with the fabulous Susan Stovall Metzger!
Both are going to be worth the price of admission!
Our Christmas concert is absolutely free!
I hope to see you there.
Stick around and tell me how well I do on
"What a wum bah dah nye ee ay o...Woh oh!"
