Today was my last day playing keyboards for Redeemer Redmond, a new PCA church on the east side of Lake Washington. I've been helping out there since the beginning of October, but now my choir at Mars Hill will be singing at each of the services until Christmas. I've learned a lot musically these past two months. I'm going to miss playing with my little group.
I wish them farewell with one of my favorite songs from there,
Ever Will I Praise
text by Sarah Hart; music by Nathan Partain
(sample music file available here)
When my heart is overcome by the dark, dead night,
I will place my trust in you, in you I will delight.
For you alone can be my shelter, you alone my strength;
So be there through the darkness, I'll exalt your holy name.
Ever will I praise, O ever will I praise;
Heart of my life, Lord of my days,
Ever will I praise!
Though the road seems all uphill, and I'm growing tired,
I will fix my eyes updon your rod to be my guide.
For you alone can be my Shepherd, you alone my rest;
So be there in my weakness, I shall stand and call you blessed.
Ever will I praise, O ever will I praise;
Heart of my life, Lord of my days,
Ever will I praise!
Who would've thought that you had a love for us?
Who would've thought that you would run to us?
Who would've thought that you'd five yourself for us?
Ever will I praise, O ever will I praise;
Heart of my life, Lord of my days,
Ever will I praise!
Ever will I praise, O ever will I praise;
Heart of my life, Lord of my days,
Ever will I praise!
You are the heart of my life, Lord of my days,
Ever will I praise.
