He then called Tim and partner 'STARS' - telling everyone to 'follow them". I thought they should be following Christ - rather than the worship leader-stars!<br /><br />Apart from that little blooper, all seemed well - especially with the accent on worship, as being the way in which to enter God's presence.Father Ron Smithhttp://kiwianglo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-79020106580862912152015-03-10T08:15:16.376+13:002015-03-10T08:15:16.376+13:00Thanks for that Jean, great, and all to the beat o...Thanks for that Jean, great, and all to the beat of the drum and the skirl of the pipes.Pageantmasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-90836206523064116522015-03-10T06:22:19.748+13:002015-03-10T06:22:19.748+13:00Hi All

He wrote the following song for the 200 year gospel celebration. Pretty good I thought.<br /><br /><a href="https://malcolmgordon.bandcamp.com/track/beneath-the-southern-cross-malcolm-gordon" rel="nofollow">Beneath the Southern Cross</a><br /><br />Blessings<br />JeanJeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-6931742851960472432015-03-09T12:29:38.630+13:002015-03-09T12:29:38.630+13:00Thanks Peter+ - I agree with Father Ron.

The lyrics are not complicated, but if you like that sort of thing, and I do, the melody was great. I am not sure where this is from, possibly Auckland [St Paul's?] but they are producing some fine songs.Pageantmasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-24869226150773670732015-03-09T11:30:02.053+13:002015-03-09T11:30:02.053+13:00I'm very fortunate, being 'retired' an...I'm very fortunate, being 'retired' and having time to listen to music on the web. My pick for this week: the last 2 items; Mozart and 'Worship Central'. Two very different musical experiences but both heart-warming and beautiful.<br />Thanks, Peter and your correspondent.Father Ron Smithhttp://kiwianglo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
