 Good morning everybody. Once again, welcome. Good to know that you all are doing well and staying safe. I hope things get better for all of us and looking forward to seeing you all in person. But let's get started. Can I request one of us to just lead as a prayer? Kanun, do you mind leading us in prayer this morning? There's quite a lot of disturbance. Sorry Kanun, can't hear you. There's a lot of disturbance. I'm mute you. Sorry Kanun, there was a lot of disturbance online. Couldn't really hear you. That's why I muted you. Sorry about that. I'll pray and we'll get started. Father, we come into your presence right now. We submit our sessions for today, our lectures for today. And to your hands, Lord, we depend and lean on your understanding, Holy Spirit. Open our eyes to the wonderful things of your word, Lord. And help us understand as we study some of the practical things of worship ministry. Jesus, give us insights and wisdom and knowledge, Father. I thank you for this day. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Okay everybody, so just to do a quick recap. We finished the first chapter with a lot of subsections on the worship ministry, how it was organized through the Bible. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, from the Tabernacle of Moses to the Tabernacle of David. And how the ministry of worship was organized. And in last week we completed, at page 25 and the beginning of page 26, on the few lessons that we can learn from David's worship team. And we looked at the entire chapter of 1 Chronicles, chapter 25, from verse 1 to 10 actually. So one of the last points that we learned from the David's worship team was he set apart his men to minister unto the Lord. And they were not involved with anything else. Their only job, their only duty was to minister unto the Lord in the temple of the Lord. So they were set apart, which is calling us to be set apart. It's just another word for calling us to be holy unto the Lord. And ministry is another lesson that we learned, is learning to serve people. Because love plus service equals ministry. And we see that in John 13 as Jesus took down to wash the feet of his disciples. That is love and service. And that is ministry really and submission is another word for humility. Okay, when you say, I submit myself under the authority of the King, you are humbling yourself to the rule of that person over you, right? When you humble yourself to your worship pastor, your worship leader, or your senior pastor. Now you are humbling yourself saying is, okay, I am humbling myself to the authority that person has in that role. And two of the important lessons we'll see was that all of the people who David chose to minister before the Lord, they were all trained and they were all skilled in music for the Lord. Okay, and so we can draw a parallel, take things from anything that we do for God. We need to get better at what we do and we need to be skilled. Not necessarily the best because it's hard to define best, but skill has no limit. So every day you can be better than yesterday. Today I can be better than yesterday in whatever I am good at. We can be good at dancing or painting or singing, playing an instrument, graphic designing, video editing. Whatever it is you do it unto the Lord, be it skilled and trained. And finally we see that all of them, like the teacher and the student, the young and the old were part of his team. It was not exclusively only for young people. It was not exclusively only for the older folks, but everybody with one heart. They were united in service unto the Lord. So that was the last bits of worship from the Bible, from the David's Tabernacle we saw in chapter one. Okay, so what were some of the key points that you kind of really enjoyed from, enjoyed as it might not be the right word, but what were some of the key points that kind of stood out to you and kind of impressed on your heart that you could take away. Speak to me. From whatever we've covered so far, what was one or two things that kind of stood out as a highlight for you from chapter one? Speakers, anybody? Kanan? Dave? Yeah, I can hear you now, yes. In chapter one, there were a lot of things that we could talk about what worship is, how, what we see in the temple of God and worship in the Second Temple Ranch, especially what worship is when we look at the Book of God, who do worship, where, when and how, and even when we look at the worship in the New Testament and in the Temple of Tabernacle, and especially in the Temple of David's Tabernacle. So the lessons that we get from the worship, it was not just only adoring God, but it was a practical thing that the Israelite, the people in that time when they were living, they had to do. It was not just worshiping, meaning coming and adoring and singing and dancing, but it was something that they had to live their life. They had to be away from the Canaanites, from the people that they were living among. Right, right. So that was what the important thing was for the Israelite. So it is for us today as they have to live apart, they have to set apart, set their life apart, so are we. Right. And that's what when we look at it, I think it's important for all of us, for our God is holy God. Yeah. So if we are the minister of God, who is holy, we are to be holy. Right. Awesome. Thanks, Dave. Thank you for sharing that beautifully. Anybody else? Yeah. What were your key takeaways, your highlights from chapter one? What do you think that you can apply in ministry and worship ministry in the days to come? What was it? So Aaron, would you like to share? Yeah, yeah, Pastor. One thing I took away from this chapter one is that, just one line, okay. With intimacy, you'll use us, you'll use you, but without intimacy you will use God. It will do for me. This night I didn't talk to you. And one thing I have learned is that, see in the days of, also in the days of David, you know, only the high priests, they used to sit in there in most of the holiest of the holiest place once a year. Right. But if there's a good privilege for us to do the God presence, without any permission, yeah, you make that. So it took me away. Thank you. Thank you Aaron. Thank you for sharing that. Okay, Siddharth. Yeah, Pastor. I'm not sure this is from the first chapter, but last time we learned something from love. That service is equal to ministry. That really touched me. I was, you know, mostly we go to ministry with passion in the beginning. And after that we start looking for, you know, earning money or something like that. We are expecting something, like maybe blessings, finances or some provisions the pastor will provide or something like that. Really don't go, like it's like we are losing the first level that we had for the ministry. And it's love that services equal to ministry. Because I'm also kind of doing a part-time, you know, job kind of like a K taking of one of my friends' parents. Sure. And when I came from the starting, I always thought about, you know, money making, mind it. But you know, when you told me, I was actually doing ministry to them. Yeah. So, and to do that, I hate love. Yeah. You just cannot expect money and come into it. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you Siddharth. Thank you for being honest. I am so beautifully sharing that. It's just wonderful. Yeah. It's amazing. Keep up, continue to do what you're doing. That's awesome. Anybody else? Manu, Kiran, Thomas, Neelam. Just quickly. One of the major thing, the humbleness there when, when God using as the parsley, somewhere knowingly and only the pride will come. And knowingly and lonely, just to work it out. But I mean, somehow I learned long back, that the thing will keep your mind to be, but that's very, very important. But there will be an attack in that area. Yeah. That's really touched. Obedience and humbleness is a very key point to grow up in the ministry. I think that's really stood for me. Thank you, Thomas. Thanks for sharing. Yeah. Kiran and Manu. Anything? Last? Yes. I learned from the first chapters, like a praising God. It's like so many things. The world, the nature he, the God created. So the praising God to everything, every breath and every, every side we, I wanted this place, like so many testimonies there, every life, every movement, the testimonies there. Even I learned like obedience, God's obedience is there. And the movement and the receiving Holy Spirit and leading the praising to God and humbleness and love, and forgiveness, so many things. And how the Moses, Moses, I learned. And then after the David, all of those people, how they praise God and all of them represent everything. Yeah. Thank you. Awesome. Thank you, Kiran. Thanks, guys. Thanks everybody for sharing, you know, for what your takeaway is from. It's wonderful to know that, I mean, there was something that you could take away. Okay. So let's continue. I'll share the notes for us on the screen. Okay. So as mentioned now, the first chapter was all about the biblical and the theological aspect of worship and ministry. Okay. I'm very intentionally breaking those, you know, those words into two different things. So when we say worship ministry, most often we take, we look at it as just one big thing. Right. Thank you, Manu, for sharing that. Yeah. Okay. Intimacy with God. Yeah. Obedience. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. So as I was saying, when we just say worship ministry, we tend to look at it as one word, even though we know that it's not worship ministry, but it's two different things, isn't it? It's worship and ministry. Okay. So through the first chapter, we see how did we see the theological aspect? We see the biblical approach to worship and ministry. Okay. So from going on, henceforth from chapter two onwards, we're going to get a little bit more practical, you know, approach to worship ministry. Okay. We see, okay, how we can go about organizing the worship ministry in our day and age today, how we can help our churches improve. How should you as a leader or a pastor get better? You know, how are you to take care of your team, et cetera, et cetera. So it's going to be more of a practical approach. Okay. Yeah. So starting us off, what we thought was be best and nice is from chapter two, we looked at the history of worship. Okay. Through the ages, from the centuries that's gone before us, from generations that's gone before us, you know, in the past. So I'm sure because there's something that we can learn from history, right? So that's why this chapter is all about looking at the past and see how the past, their worship has influenced our present. Okay. And if you never, if you did not like history as a student in your school, I'm sorry, but you know, let's try and make it interesting and see, you know, because history is a good thing, right? As I've mentioned in the notes, like, have you ever been to a place, you know, where your friend or someone said, you know, or even if you go back to your old school classroom and say it's like, you know, in this very place, this happened, right? There's some history attached to that space or, you know, in 1995 or in 2002, at this very room, you know, so and so we experienced this, you know, something like that extra, isn't it? And if you're going for, you know, some kind of a tour, you know, there is always this tour guide, right? If you go to Taj Mahal, there will be these tour guides who want to share the history of the Taj Mahal, right? In this century, this was built at this very ground, Shah Jahan stood and, you know, he directed how it has to be built. And so you suddenly get this, like, wow, you know, I'm standing in this, you know, historical space and for us as Christians, you know, when we go, I mean, I've seen a lot of my friends, Christian friends, including my dad, actually, who went to Israel and when he came back, he said, you know, just to be in the place and walk in the streets where Jesus walked, to know that Jesus walked, it gave them a different feeling. They would be overwhelmed, right? So what was the significant there is that something happened in the past that connects, that ties our faith today, right? So that's what history kind of, you know, does to us, you know? So the ground that we are standing on, the ground that we are calling as Christianity or the theology of Christianity or worship ministry, et cetera, whatever it is, we are standing on the history of the worship expression in our context, okay, who have creatively led, who have sacrificed and led expressions across times from hundreds and hundreds of years, you know? And here we are. And so, you know, I believe that there is great wisdom, you know, in our worship past and if we look for it, we'll find strengthening the worship and discipleship life of our churches today. If you look at our past and I'm sure we will find strengthening encouragement of the worship and the discipleship life of the churches that's gone before us, okay? And hymns are a classic example to look at. It's a wonderful place for us to start, all right? So we all know the hymn, Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, right? It's more than just another hymn that is sung at funerals or weddings, but mostly in the funerals they sing it. And, you know, because it's like, okay, it's another funeral service and in every funeral service they sing Amazing Grace. Let's just sing Amazing Grace and move on. But a little do we understand or take time to know the history behind that hymn, right? And we see that in March 9th of 1748, a person by name of John Newton, right? He was a sailor working for the British Army. Okay, he was working for the British Navy, you know, for all the ships that carried the slaves. So it says in March 9th, 1748, a young captain on a slave ship is awakened by the cries of the ship is sinking. The ship is sinking. Recalling words from a book he is reading called The Imitation of Christ by Thomas A. Kempis. And so finally moved by, you know, the ship was sinking. He was about to die, but somehow people get saved. And John Newton reflects back from that moment on, from March 9th, from March 10th onwards, he reflects back and he slowly turns to the Bible, starts studying the Bible, you know, and gets saved. And then he writes these most beautiful lyrics ever written. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. So, you know, once you understand who John Newton was, you know, the person behind the song, it makes all the more sense, isn't it? Even when we read the Psalms, for example, when you read Psalm 23, the title says it's a Psalm of David. Right? It's a person. David is a real person, like you and me, an actual human being who lived. Right? If we don't understand David, it's very hard for us to understand Psalm 23. Right? Like, for example, if, you know, one of us is good at a painting or artist, artistry. You know, it's one thing to just look at the product and say, oh, it's wonderful, it's nice. And it's another thing to look at the person who did that and say, oh, you did this. You know, have you said, I'm sure we've said this to each other, right? You cooked, you made this biryani? Yeah, that's wonderful, you know. It's similar like that, isn't it? When we see that how John Newton was, you know, how is a background, what his background was. And then when we see those words, amazing grace, how sweet the sound, it all of a sudden gives us a different perspective. We now understand that there's a history to it. And because of that, what he did and what he wrote, we now today sing those, you know, those hymns in churches. Right? So it's a beautiful place to start. I thought, okay, but let's take a look at some of the more famous hymn writers, right? Philip P. Bliss from 1838 to 1876. Look at all the years that they were around. They're really old, right? And he was an American hymn writer and a gospel singer who wrote the words and music for such hymns has almost persuaded hallelujah, what a savior and let the lower lights be burning. Hallelujah, what a savior. It's okay if you don't know it. They're old. And also, we also understand that most of us, you know, we come from regional churches, where we don't necessarily sing all these hymns. Okay, so I want you to know that I also understand that. So it's okay if you don't know them, but we are just trying to, you know, look at some of the history of the West and influence the church of India as well. We'll get to that in just a second, okay? Another hymn writer by name William B. Bradbury, he wrote hymns like he leadeth me. Jesus loves me. I sing that for my son. Every time I have to put him to sleep. Jesus loves me this, I know. Oh, the Bible tells me so. You see that for me, it's just another lullaby to sing for my son. But it was written hundreds and hundreds of years ago by this person. Francis R. Havagal, Take My Life and Let It Be is another famous hymn and Alicia Hoffman, one of the hymns that they wrote was, Are You Washed in the Blood? Are You Washed in the Blood? In the Soul Cleansing Blood of the Lamb. You know that one? William James Kirkpatrick, lead me to Calvary, Jesus Saves, This So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, This So Sweet to Trust in Jesus. Okay, Robert Lowry, Shall We Gather at the River? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus. It was written by Robert Lowry. And John Newton once again mentioned here for the hymn that he wrote, Amazing Grace. Isaac Watts, another famous hymn writer, an English pastor, preacher, poet, who wrote the hymn. He's written more than 600 hymns. And some of these people have written more than thousands and thousands of hymns. It's unfortunate that we've lost a lot of them. We've lost a lot of their literature, which was written. And just a handful of them remain. I mean, just to think that, for example, Charles Wesley here, he's written over 5,500 hymns. 5,500 hymns, guys. Is this hard, isn't it? One of the famous hymns that we sing for every Christmas is, Mark the Herald Angels Sing. Beautiful, beautiful. So I think it's good when we look at hymns. It tells us the richness of not just theology, but the complexity of music as well. The hymns, I use it all the time to teach my students voice and harmony. How do I get better in singing harmony? I always take the example of the hymns. And that's why now when you go to some of the more mainline churches, say Baptist or Lutherans, Methodist churches, for them, you sing hymn, it's like a revival is moving in their churches. So hymns are a beautiful place to look at. They're rich in liturgy, they're literate in literature, rich in literature and in music. So they are wonderful. But now let's come back to a more modern time. Let's look at how the hymns settled in for hundreds of years in the churches and then how contemporary music had an effect of the church in the West. So traditional versus contemporary. Hey guys, are you all with me? Am I going fast? Oh, you're okay. Okay. Okay, awesome. Okay, good to know. Thank you. Right, so let's take a look at CCM. It's one of the very important terms that we need to remember for modern times, which simply means Christian contemporary music. Okay, so let's rewind back to the 1960s. So it is around this decade in that decade from 1960s, 60s to 70s in that decade. All these mainstream churches, the mainline churches like Baptist, Methodist, Brethren, Lutherans, et cetera, they were losing a lot of young people from the church. They were just, they found it like, you know, all the hymns and all these things were very boring. The church was not exciting or interesting and whatnot. Okay, so the teenagers and the youth, they stopped attending churches. They were losing, the church was losing young people in vast majority of numbers. Okay, they wanted to, these young people want to engage with the same kind of rock and roll kind of a music that the secular artists were playing, right? So in the Nords, I've mentioned, so the late 1960s saw the birth of the widespread movement. Okay, this is a very famous movement, like a revival, in other words, that happened in the West, which simply means the young people who had come to faith in Jesus and wanted to express that faith in the way that was more relevant. Okay, relevant means for that day and age, like for example, like how we have Bible translations now, isn't it? Some of elderly people, they prefer the KJV version, Dao, the Shaalt, et cetera, right? And then we have the NLT version or the message translation, you know, or the passion translation, they say it is more relevant for today's generation. They don't necessarily want to read Dao, the, I don't want to read King James version, right? I like the NIV. So similarly, these young people of that day and age, they wanted to express their faith in a more relevant fashion, in a more relevant way, right? So in the 1970s, this movement that was happening where a lot of young people were getting saved, like a revival was called as the Jesus movement. You might have heard of it, you might not, but it's okay if you have not, okay? There were a huge bunch of people getting saved. You know, people in the streets were getting healed. Left, right, center. And one of the revivals that they, you know, mostly widely talking about is the Azusa revival. There's actually a book from ABC, the fastest put together, about the revivals of the history. And I would encourage you to read them, you know, to be encouraged of what God has done again in the history, right? It's wonderful. So the 1970, the term Jesus movement was being fielded by its members. Initially, the journalists, okay, the media called it the hippie movement. Now, hippie, people from the west coast of the United States of America, okay? Which is the California side. The Americans called people from that region as hippies. So, you know, they also named that movement as a hippie movement because Jesus movement was more, more, more fruit in the west coast, okay? That is the California side. So if you want to quickly look at where California is, you can go to Google images, maps of United States of America. You'll see where California is. So that is the west coast, okay? So why is all of this important? This is the contemporary thing, okay? So now we understand in the 1960s, the mainline churches were losing a lot of young people. But at the same time, there was a revival happening, okay? Which was called as the Jesus movement, okay? So we know that this revival movement was happening. Now, during that time, in 1968, there was a secular band called the People, okay? Secular band. Now, the leader, lead singer, lead vocalist of that band was called, was Larry David Norman, okay? Larry Norman, famously known as just Larry Norman, okay? He was saved in the Jesus movement, through the Jesus movement, okay? He got saved, converted, whatever we want to use. And he is often remembered as the father of Christian rock, okay? He's popularly known as, with that title, that he is the father of Christian rock, okay? His style, we know that, you know, his style was not encouraged in the church, was not liked by the church. And he was also very controversial in some of the songs and albums that he released, you know? Like, for example, so though his style was not initially well received by many in the Christian community of the time, he continued throughout his career to create controversial hard rock songs, such as, why should the devil have all the good music? Boy, I found that, that's just amazing, right? Because again, back then, an electric guitar or a drum kit in church was a devil's instrument. Like, how can you have that devil's instrument in the church? We don't use that. We only use the pipe organ and not guitar. Actually, honestly, in one point of time, when hymns was introduced in the church, like 300 years ago, they thought the church did not accept hymns back then, because they thought it was too modern, you know? So in every generation, every generation has a different sound. And as a church, there's a very important lesson for us as leaders to learn here, is every generation has a sound. And we cannot say, we cannot worship God with this music, we cannot worship God with that, et cetera, et cetera, and whatnot, simply because every generation has a sound. And we need to embrace, you know, the movement, we need to see how we can nurture them and guide them, et cetera, right? So at a time when Jesus' music was new, that most people didn't even know it existed, Norman, that is Larry Norman, took a huge financial and career risks to nurture a more contemporary form of Christian music, okay? He sacrificed. You know, this is one of the ground, the historical grounds that we are standing on is the sacrifice of Larry Norman that he made, that he took, you know, financially, career-wise, moving from... See, it's for a secular artist to go from, you know, from a secular platform to a gospel platform. You sacrifice the fame, you sacrifice the popularity, the money, everything, right? And simply because Larry Norman tasted Jesus and he found that Jesus is the truth. He is the real deal, you know, and then he goes on to create this movement, the Jesus' music that was born during the Jesus' movement, okay? And some of the artists or the pioneers who were influenced during that period are some of the names that I have mentioned. Once again, you don't have to know, you know, all of them, you know, by name, et cetera, it's just for information, okay? But here it is, Darrell Mansfield, sweet comfort band, another team called Servant or John Michael Talbot and Striper, the second chapter of Acts, they were pretty famous actually, and Phil Kiki is a very famous musician, you know, acoustic guitarist. So there was a time where, you know, Jimi Hendrix, so there were contemporaries, right? During that same period, Jimi Hendrix was very famous in the 70s, you know, right? He was a secular artist. And so there was an interviewer who asks Jimi Hendrix, he's like, how does it feel like to be the best guitarist ever? And Jimi Hendrix says, I don't know, ask Phil Kiki how it feels. So Phil Kiki was really skillful, he's still around, he's wonderful, and hey, some of these names like Petra and Keith Green. Keith Green and Petra, they were very influential in my life. I grew up listening to Petra's music, I still listen to it, and Keith Green. I'm not sure if you will know some of his songs. Created me a clean heart, oh God, when you write spirit within me. That's by Keith Green. Another song is, oh Lord, your beautiful, your face is all I see. Okay, that's another music. Another song, just as an example by Keith Green, who died unfortunately in an airplane crash. So all of these artists were pioneers, were very influential in just writing that wave of revival, that Jesus music, which is now known as the Christian contemporary music. These artists were very influential in that season. They were kind of laying the foundation to what the CCM will go on to become this huge deal in the worship circle. Okay, I'll probably share a link to this video. It's a YouTube video for 40 minutes that talks about the music that evolved during Jesus' time. I'll share with this. I'll put a page on the classroom and the stream section. So you can just watch it and just learn about the history of it. Okay, so we looked at the 60s and the 70s, how there was a shift happening from Jesus' movement. And then we step in now to the 80s. Now from the 60s to the 80s, there's 20 years. And in 20 years, again, music has evolved. What Larry Norman, who was known as the father of Christian rock, at that point of time, it seemed like there was only one genre of music, which was this rock or Christian rock. And by the 80s, it's kind of taking this, it's evolved into in its final form, so to say, right? It's come to this last final finishing stages, but it was fully developed in Christian contemporary music, praise and worship music. And suddenly there's genres like Christian country music, Christian pop, Christian rock, Christian metal, Christian hardcore, Christian punk, and et cetera, et cetera. And again, once again, I've mentioned all the names of the band and the artists influenced during this period in the 80s, who grew, who are very influential and who are very famous. Petra has mentioned again, Petra simply means rock, the Greek word rock. So they're like, okay. We're going to play rock music because Petra, and we're going to call ourselves Petra because it simply means rock. And Jesus is a rock, he's a rock of ages. So let's play some rock music. How cool is that, right? And then Amy Grant, Sandy Patty, Michael W. Smith, DC Talk, Jesus Freak, that's another famous song that we used to sing. What will people say if they know that I'm a Jesus Freak? That was by DC Talk. Forget the name, what was the name? Forget the artist, Tobi Mack, yes, Tobi Mack. And then you have Ron Canole, Blessing and Honor, Ancient of Days, right? Don Moen, Give Thanks, Kent Henry, Casting Crowns, etc. I know this is not the complete list, obviously. It's just some of the names that I could think of and I've just mentioned them who've been very influential in my life. Like people like Paul Wilbur, I mean, you really have to listen to his songs and Michael W. Smith, Stephen Curtis Chapman, incredible. And one of the most powerful worship leaders I've come across who would lead with authority, you know, but with Christian Rock kind of a music was Carmen. Okay, guys, I mean, if you haven't listened or heard of Carmen, he unfortunately passed away, I think January of this year. I was very sad because he was awesome, the way he would lead worship with authority and the importance that he gave to the Word of God. It was amazing. He had a huge impact on my life that it's okay, you know, it doesn't matter what genre of music you use to worship him, as long as you are worshiping him. And I learned that from Carmen. And most of these individual artists, Michael W. Smith, Stephen Curtis Chapman, et cetera, et cetera. Okay, so this is the 90s, 80s. And so actually, let me just pause here and play music, a video for us. We have only the five minutes, I hope. Okay, let's see how the, it's a video about evolution of worship music. Let's take a look at it. Okay, I hope you all can see. Not yet. Let's go. Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart Not be all else to me Save that thou art Thou my best thought By day or by night Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light O praise him Hallelujah Let goods and kindred go This mortal life also The body they may kill God's truth abided still His kingdom is forever Praise to the Lord, the Almighty The King of creation O my soul, praise him For he is thy health and salvation Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost But now I'm found Was blind, but now I see When darkness seems to hide his face I rest on his unchanging graves In every high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil And the things of earth Will grow string of his glory and grace O victory in Jesus My Savior forever He punched me to victory To beneath the cleansing flower Burdens are lifted at Calvary Calvary, Calvary Burdens are lifted at Calvary Jesus is very near That's how once you've experienced it You spread his love to everyone You want to pass it on Soon and very soon We are going to see the King Soon and very soon We are going to see the King Hallelujah, soon and very soon We are going to see the King Hallelujah, hallelujah We are going to see the King Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love. Our God is an awesome God. Shout to the Lord, say, Power and majesty praise to the King. Mountains bow down and the sea at the sound Of your neck. I'm trading my sorrows. I'm trading my shame For the joy of nerves beyond our galaxy. Oh, is the Lord God who was and is and is to come And you're rippin' through you and every need will bow down. Okay, I think that's enough. I hope you all can enjoy that. He's done such a good job in putting together songs from 500 BC all the way to this decade. And you see how music has evolved, isn't it? It's beautiful. It kind of sets the context to what we are actually studying. So what we'll do, we'll take a break. It can take extra three minutes or so and we'll get started. All right, I'll pause the recording now and I'll see you all after the break. Enjoy.
