Each Saturday and Tuesday during Lent, the devotion will consist of visual or musical works of art for you to contemplate.  There might be a brief quote or statement for you to consider as you view/listen to the material; there may be notes from or about the artist or work.  We hope you will find meaning in these pieces during your lenten journey.

On Sunday, March 16, 2014, the River Road Church, Baptist, Carol and Crusader Choirs sang Hal H. Hopson’s, “We, the Children, Lift Our Voices!” accompanied by Bob Gallagher, piano, and directed by Kara Harman.  Listen (again) to this beautiful work.  The words are given below.

We, the children, lift our voices, with a song each heart rejoices.
Sing we praise to God who made us, in whose arms so gently holds us.
Laudate dominum. God is the song and the joy of our life.
Moon and stars in their own courses tell the might that God enforces.
Nest’ling birds they tell the story, tell of God’s own care and glory.
Laudate dominum. God is the song and the joy of our life.
When the night is dark and dreary, when the days are long and weary,
God is there beyond all knowing, love and goodness ever showing.
Laudate dominum. God is the song and the joy of our life.
For such love and tender caring, all through life we must be sharing.
Songs of thanks be ever raising to our God with endless praising.
