Chamber Choir

[jackson]

Has any one ever heard a chamber choir?  The human voice can be a very beautiful thing especially when multiplied by hundreds.  I had the pleasure of hearing this song recently.  It brought me to tears.

Look at the World               John Rutter

Look at the world, everything all around us:
Look at the world, and marvel every day.
Look at the world, so many joys and wonders,
So many miracles along the way.

Praise to thee, O Lord, for all creation,
Give us thankful hearts, that we may see:
All the gifts we share, and every blessing,
All things come of thee.

Look at the earth bringing forth fruit and flower;
Look at the sky, the sunshine and the rain;
Look at the hills, look at the trees and mountains,
Valley and flowing river, field and plain.

Think of the spring, think of the warmth of summer
Bringing the harvest before the winter's cold.
Everything grows, everything has a season,
Till it is gathered to the Father's fold.

Every good gift, all that we need and cherish
Comes from the Lord in token of his love;
We are his hands, stewards of all his bounty;
His is the earth, and his the heav'ns above.

Just thought I'd share,
Jackson

Hi Jackson,
    That is really cool.  I like that.  I can imagine, if sung the right way, that this song would probably cause some things to go on in the inside.  Thanks for sharing.  I just printed a copy of this.  It also looks like a good peom.  God Bless, Rob
