Last weekend we enjoyed the Unity Christian music festival in Muskegon, MI. We had a blast! The kids danced with the music and we were led in worship by artists like Third Day, Casting Crowns, and Jeremy Camp. Our favorite songs are those that put Scripture to music. Think about your favorite praise songs and hymns...
One of our favorite songs is based on our hope of being with Jesus on the new earth from Revelation 21:1-4, "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
We love singing worship songs that put Scripture to music. Our hearts break for the millions of people around the world with NO Scripture in a language they can understand. How can they worship? Our passion is to translate the Bible for people who can then write worship music for their own culture and language.
love your blog! Great job!
