On Every Performing Gallery-Platform and Choir Loft Sits a Broken Heart.

On Every Performing Gallery-Platform and Choir Loft Sits a Broken Heart.

It is D Day in the Global Music Neighborhood.  A Day that will live in infamy. D Day is The Day the Music Died. The Music in the Global Music Neighborhood no longer gives life-Zoe. The misogynist, sexist, racist, drug, inappropriate languaged sounds-music has hastened D Day in the Global Music Neighborhood.

The heart of God is broken. The heart of God is broken because of the Global Music Neighborhoods deterioration in the midst of the apparent emerging Music Ministry CD, DVD projects and Praise and worship, liturgical dance etc. God has assigned us to deliver the Global Music Neighborhood to the next generation. All he ask it that it comes back to the next generation -God breathed- in the same shape you received it. The Music Neighborhood and Environ has deteriorated in the presence of the Music Ministry. It is disturbing that the Global Music Neighborhood deteriorates in the presence of the Music Ministry. 

The heart of God is broken. The hearts of the residents in the global Music neighborhood are like a reflection pool of our unconsoled grieving hearts. Perhaps, the reflection pool...now a cesspool mingled with grief, anger and disbelief. Music neighborhood grief has warmed the tears and has etched and seared the cold clenched cheeks. Our cheeks quiver in absolute volcanic resonance.  A broken heart, O God, thou wilt not despise; but how slow God is to heal it; God is closest to those with broken hearts. ~Jewish Saying God can heal a broken heart, but He has to have all the pieces. ~Author Unknown

  1. Gods heart is broken because of the condition in the Music neighborhood

  2. Music Ministry sits before the throne of God broken in disobedience

  3. The Music neighborhood bound and sentenced to the seat of the scornful. The debris of sin and iniquity surrounds the seat of the scornful

Behold a fragmented music neighborhood that stands before the throne of God. Take notice of a broken Music Ministry that presents themselves faulted, full of blame, lacking wisdom. The Music Ministry stands before the Music neighborhood unable to produce a sound that will heal the wounds in the music neighborhood. The Music Ministry 

 

 

Jude 1:24 (The Message) 24-25And now to him who can keep you on your feet, standing tall in his bright presence, fresh and celebrating—to our one God, our only Savior, through Jesus Christ, our Master, be glory, majesty, strength, and rule before all time, and now, and to the end of all time. Yes. 24Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

The heart of God is broken. Behold a deaf Music neighborhood. MICHAEL BELLUSCI’S quotation in his high school yearbook was, “It ain’t rock if it ain’t loud.” About one in six boomers have hearing loss, according to the Better Hearing Institute, a nonprofit educational group. The AARP has reported that there are more people age 45 to 64 with hearing loss (10 million) than there are people over 65 with hearing loss (9 million). And more people are losing their hearing earlier in life, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, one of the National Institutes of Health. The Day the Music Died By STEPHANIE ROSENBLOOM

The heart of God is broken. Behold a deaf Music neighborhood. Could the lamentations dround out the cries of babies crying in Ramah,  Biafra, Sudan, Uganda? Behold, Rachel crying for her children in Ramah, Biafra, Sudan, Uganda. Perhaps, the cries of the Children are muffled by the raucous sounds on the stadium boom boxes of our Performing Gallery-Platform and Choir Lofts.

Jeremiah 31:15 (The Message) 15-17Again, God's Message:

   "Listen to this! Laments coming out of Ramah,
   wild and bitter weeping.
It's Rachel weeping for her children,
   Rachel refusing all solace.
Her children are gone,
   gone—long gone into exile."
But God says, "Stop your incessant weeping,
   hold back your tears.
Collect wages from your grief work." God's Decree.
   "They'll be coming back home!
There's hope for your children." God's Decree.

"With Broken Heart and Contrite Sigh"
                       by Cornelius Elven, 1791-1873
                                 Text From:
                      THE HANDBOOK TO THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL
            (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1942)p.231



        1. With broken heart and contrite sigh,
        A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry.
        Thy pardoning grace is rich and free,--
        O God, be merciful to me!

        2. I smite upon my troubled breast,
        With deep and conscious guilt opprest:
        Christ and His cross my only plea,--
        O God, be merciful to me!

        3. Far off I stand with tearful eyes
        Nor dare uplift them to the skies;
        But Thou dost all my anguish see,--
        O God, be merciful to me!

        4. Nor alms nor deeds that I have done
        Can for a single sin atone.
        To Calvary alone I flee,--
        O God, be merciful to me!

        5. And when, redeemed from sin and hell,
        With all the ransomed throng I dwell,
        My raptured song shall ever be,
        O God, be merciful to me!
 
 
More love to Thee

 

More love to Thee, O Christ, more love to Thee!
Hear Thou the prayer I make on bended knee.
This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!

Once earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest;
Now Thee alone I seek, give what is best.
This all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!

Let sorrow do its work, come grief or pain;
Sweet are Thy messengers, sweet their refrain,
When they can sing with me: More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!

Then shall my latest breath whisper Thy praise;
This be the parting cry my heart shall raise;
This still its prayer shall be: More love, O Christ to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
