Keith & Kristyn Getty talk about "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty"

Makes you just wanna get there already eh?

I've always thought of this hymn as the universal Song of heaven

 - shows up in Isaiah and again in Revelation.  

Around that throne - myriad in number.   

Casting down our golden crowns around the glassy sea.  

Whoa.  

Makes my skin prickle. 

Makes me cry.
*again*

Happy Wednesday Getty Peeps.  Sorry for this 11th hour reminder.
I've been on holiday with extended family - an annual mass converging at Chesley Lake which includes campfire comaraderie far beyond the midnight hour - which in turn requires another week for recovery.  Not a complaint mind you.  :)
But I am SO looking forward to seeing you tonight at Rehoboth 7:00-9:30pm.
We'll be doing some review first and then separate into two groups, men downstairs (thanks Evelyn!) and ladies upstairs for an hour to go over:

1.  Kyrie Eleison
2.  When Trials Come
3.  Hear the Call of the Kingdom

Then we'll join forces and voices for the final hour.
VBS is being held in our church building so we'll likely have to respectfully dodge and operate around some "stuff".  I think we'll have a short refreshment break outside the back door tonight, weather permitting.
Lilly is willing to record our session and post it as a rehearsal tool for our future private sessions.
Bring a water bottle, dress comfortably and bring a willing spirit to go to "work" on our lovely project.
Love y'll!

The Story behind the song by Keith Getty

Enjoy!  Imagine hearing our background vocals behind this magnificent song...

Shout Out for Top notch Rehearsal Trackers!

I want to thank nine wonderbar Getty-ites for taking time out of their busy schedules to spend an hour and a half in my music room tonight, 

laying down tracks for North Winds and the segue into 

Christ is Risen, He is Risen Indeed.  

Without their sacrifice, these rehearsal tracks remain a pipe dream for us.  

So to Pete & Peter (Peter is brand new and oh so good at this!) on bass, Bryan & Taylor on tenor, Jess, Wendy & Michelle on soprano, Sonya on alto (putting up with me as sidekick) and Lilly on iPad --- you have my sincere gratitude for making this possible.  

After that strenuous workout, Lilly uploaded them lickety-split and voila!  

Done.  

In one fell swoop.  

You guys totally rock.

Sleep sweet y'll and see you on Monday night at 7:30.

p.s. still looking for a guy to plunk notes with the men for the first bit of the rehearsal on Monday. 

*Yawn*

Goodnight. 

Voila! with thanks to Lilly

I have this friend.
She's super computer savvy.
She's got these gifts I have not.
i.e. a tenacity for figuring stuff out on her own and fiddling with stuff for HOURS until it's conquered. Fortunately for me, (for all of us really) she came to our rehearsal last Wednesday and sat up high in the church balcony recording bits of it on her iPad. Afterwards, we listened to the tracks.
Happy eeEEKK!
My first thought was that YOU need to hear this yourselves. It is only right that you should benefit from hearing these humble (yet beauteous) beginnings! Our minds started a-whirling about the possibilities. One idea led to another and then all of a sudden:
Voilà! A blog is born.
I went to bed WAY too late that night but also thrilled and encouraged as I think you might be with the end result. Anyway. Thanks Lilly.
This is simply another moment of many where I've experienced His Hand at work in our Getty Adventure.
