I just came back from Lenten Vigil practice with my choir. I was touched by a few songs we practiced today. Since today was our last practice we sang the whole proper, which is a total of eight songs. The songs are:
Via Dolorosa,
Willingly,
Above All,
Prodigal Son,
Be Not Afraid,
He Will Carry You,
Were You There, and
Take Up Your Cross.

The choir of Genesis 2 of Holy Family Church will be singing for the 10pm service of Maundy Thursday as part of Lenten Vigil. Please do join us in the Garden of Gethsemane as we keep watch from 10pm to 11pm.

Back to the main topic. I've have been touched the most by one particular song, which is Be Not Afraid. After we started singing the third verse, I was amazed at the lyrics in the third verse. This is how it goes:

Blessed are the poor, for the kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you who weep and mourn, for one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked tongues insult and hate you all because of me.
Blessed, blessed are you.

It has struck me as it relates a lot to me and those who I know. I would like everyone who has read this post to just think about it. I shall end off with another song, He Will Carry You, as I write down the lyrics.


~He Will Carry You~
There is no problem too big, God cannot solve it.
There is no mountain too tall, He cannot move it.
There is no storm too dark, God cannot calm it.
There is no sorrow too deep, He cannot soothe it.

If He carried the weight of the world, upon his shoulders.
I know my brother that He will carry you.
If He carried the weight of the world, upon his shoulders.
I know my sister that He will carry you.

He said come unto me.
All who are weary.
And I will give you rest.

There is no problem too big, God cannot solve it.
There is no mountain too tall, He cannot move it.
There is no storm too dark, God cannot calm it.
There is no sorrow too deep, He cannot soothe it.

If He carried the weight of the world, upon his shoulders.
I know my brother that He will carry you.
If He carried the weight of the world, upon his shoulders.
I know my sister that He will carry you.


See the colours of the rainbow. See the images of love. Hear the music when the wind blows. Hear the angels up above. In the beauty of a new day. In the joy of every spring. Can you see God, can you see Him? Can you hear God, can you hear Him? Can you see God, can you see Him? Can you see God in everything? -Can You See God by Chris de Silva
