Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

The Power Of Music
February 10, 2014
In Wales, the music of mens chorus groups is deeply engrained in the culture. Prior to World War II, one Welsh glee club had a friendly yet competitive rivalry with a German glee club, but that bond was replaced with animosity during and after the war. The tension was gradually overcome, though, by the message on the trophy shared by the two choruses: Speak with me, and youre my friend. Sing with me, and youre my brother.
The power of music to heal and help is a gift from God that comforts many. Perhaps that is why the Psalms speak so deeply to us. There we find lyrics that connect with our hearts, allowing us to speak to God from the depth of our spirits. But I will sing of Your power; yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; for You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble (Ps. 59:16). Amazingly, David wrote this song as he was being hunted down by men seeking to kill him! Despite his circumstances, David remembered Gods power and mercy, and singing of them encouraged him to go on.
May our God give us a song today that will remind us of His goodness and greatness, no matter what we may face.
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long. Crosby
I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel. Judges 5:3 (nlt)

Wonderful story! I read it and posted it on Facebook, too. There are so many unsung heroes that only get their stories told many years after the fact.
Thanks, Galz, for posting this one!

Thanks Kathy,
A true Chap and a fine Hero.
The last of the era when it was possible to be a Chap without violating some PC law or other.
Light pipe, windup the fob watch, straighten the tie and venture forth to Victory or a mention in the Times obituary column.
