Speaker 2: of surrender and joy. Tonight, unite with all of creation,
Speaker 2: with all of the Lord's people, and sing a beautiful

Speaker 2: sweet sound of music playing to the sweet words of
Speaker 2: the Lord. Listen to the beautiful voices of his people,
Speaker 2: singing together as one voice, rejoicing in the Lord in
Speaker 2: one spirit. See the dancers sway back and forth to
Speaker 2: the music, declaring the greatness of the Lord with their moves.

Speaker 2: you have of God's goodness. Confess any ungratefulness that is
Speaker 2: in your heart. Confess any envy or jealousy you have
Speaker 2: of other believers. Bring everything to the Lord and ask
