Israeli Music (Day 6)

Psalm 95:1 - …let us sing to the Lord… 

I love music. I discovered my love for music since I was 3 or 4.  Unfortunately, my passion for music has been subdued for almost a year.  I knew in my heart that I was longing to watch concerts, or to play instruments again.

Today, I had the privilege of watching a open-air concert in Jerusalem. I was taking a stroll down memory lane. I was watching the entire production doing their thing — from manning the lights, balancing the sound levels, switching equipment from the front act to the main band, to make sure that the bands are fully equipped to perform.

Two things that made me smile tonight: (1) audience participation at its finest — I was impressed that everyone knows the lyrics of the songs; (2) the lyrics of the songs that I understood — it’s not often that I hear songs that worship the Lord in a public and secular setting. Tonight, I heard a lot of songs of praise.*

Sigh, I love living in Israel.
