A New Year...A New Dance.

Psalm 67
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.
1 May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face shine on us—
2 so that your ways may be known on earth,
your salvation among ALL nations.

3 May the peoples praise you, God;
may ALL the peoples praise you.
4 May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you rule the peoples with equity
and guide the nations of the earth.
5 May the peoples praise you, God;
may ALL the peoples praise you.

6 The land yields its harvest;
God, our God, blesses us.
7 May God bless us still,
so that ALL the ends of the earth will fear him.

From Karl Cobos:  To those who I sing with in the Nation of Worship choir and band.
I have so enjoyed this year...singing next to you, dancing to the music, worshiping our Father, lifting my hands in praise, crying my eyes out at the embrace of the Holy Spirit and being thankful for His incredible grace and mercy among us.  I've enjoyed all the treats, tea and coffee beforehand, and all the encouraging, inspiring and thought-provoking words that fill the choir room before we go in to the service.  I love you...you're my family, and you've always been there.

In with the new...let us enter this New Year with newness in our hearts, praise and sing to the Lord more and more new songs.  Let His praise be on your lips no matter what has happened during the week...come into oneness and unity thanking Him and reaching out to Him when we're together singing to Him.  Let love consume us...let us be ourselves in our worship, embrace Him and each other and enjoy dancing in our joy!  God wants His children to have fun and be happy and leap like a calf out of the stall.
Here we are ... TO WORSHIP!

Happy New Year!
