This was our choir's major highlight since the start of 2006 and we pulled it off. No, I don't mean to say that we faked our performance, to all my fellow members out there. I really mean to say that we sounded superb only because of our age range. If we are an adult choir, we won't impress so much because it will be expected of us. We definitely did put in effort and sang till our throats and hearts were sore.
I do feel proud of the accolades and praise we received but again, all glory is given back to God. He humbled us in such gratitude for the trust given unto us. Our soloist who was too excessively pressurized by inevitable comparison and reputation, was superb also because of God's spirit guiding her through and extolling her given talent for His glory. I personally, got about 95% of my choreography accurate, a far cry from earlier performances and finally got the Jubilate Deo Jacob 100% correct. Yeh!
God also blessed us with strength and health for the long preparation period before the actual performance. The girls were still standing after such a long time, with the exception of myself. My gastric had relapsed but I had food to cure it. The NS guys were allowed to book out from the army as well and there was backup for an unexpected arrival. Even my fellow member whose flight was delayed managed to come on time to change and she was blessed with physical as well as mental sustenance throughout the event. If not for God, where would we have been?
Though we were exhausted after the event and even for the next day, we had happy hearts as we sang When You Believe as our closing prayer. Yes indeed, there can be miracles!
I have another song in mind to sum up my feelings about the event. It is entitled 'My Tribute' and the lyrics are as follows:
How can I say thanks for the things You have done for me
Things so undeserved yet You give to prove Your love for me
The voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude
All that I am and ever hope to be I owe it all to You.
To God be the glory (x3)
For the things He has done
With His love He has saved me
With His power He has raised me
To God be the glory for the things He has done.
