I can imagine this song with a quick montage of the Bible stories we know and love.

[DempseydeLange]

Please don't stop singing and don't stop moving.... it is part of your Praise the Lord for this choir.

What I love about this choir is the synergy between the choir, orchestra and the conductor. This connection of musician and conductor is truly amazing. The choir instead of being constricted by posture is relaxed and free to express themselves to the audience while maintaining connection with conductor. Every movement of the conductor is responded to by the group by tone, enunciation of words and with a tremendous amount of energy. This leads to amazing volume control, progression of the music to a almost unbelievable sound. This energy does not fall off and as you can see from about 2:25 to the end is a constant progression of energy, power which does not loose vocal cohesion but increases the message of a great and awesome God. Absolutely first rate performance. But you can tell its not just a performance its what they believe, thats what makes it a worship experience which edifies the church and brings Glory to God.

Every tongue from every tribe, every nation!

The world today tries to divide us. Race, gender, social status. In God we are one. Created in his image. No man, no woman, no Jew, no Gentile, no slave, no free. No black, no brown, no white, no rich, no poor. All previous in the eyes of Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.

God bless everyone!

Lyrics

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, the Word was God (2x)
And the Word was with God, He was in the beginning with God

All things were made through Him
And without Him was not anything made that was made
That was made
All things were made by Him

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, the Word was God (2x)
And the Word was with God, He was in the beginning with God

The light shines in the darkness
And darkness has not overcome the Light of men
The Light of men
The Light of men

In Him was life
In Him was life and the life was the Light of men (3x)

In Him was life (in Him was life)
In Him was life (in Him was life)
In Him was life, the life was light, the Light of men (2x)

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, the Word was God (2x)
And the Word was with God, He was in the beginning with God

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, the Word was God (2x)
And the Word was with God
He was with God from the beginning
He was our God from the beginning
He was with God, the Word was

God with God
He was God, was God above all gods
Word of God, the living Word of God
Amen

I think my favorite part of the song is when they sing "in the beginning was word, and the word was with God, the word was God"
