I love this verse because every time I read it I hear Handelian recitative in my head and then Bam...timpani and full-blown chorus singing "Glory to God! Glory to God! Glory to God in the High...........est!"
The Messiah is probably my favorite pieces of music ever. Ever ever ever. It's what I would take with me on that hypothetical desert island. And believe me, narrowing down music love to one choice is hard. But I wouldn't regret having only the messiah. it's like my musical bible...
I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."
