1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,980
 

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:59,980
 

3
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,880
It was given to us so that we can enjoy it.

4
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,680
It is a gift.

5
00:01:06,220 --> 00:01:07,420
That's what I believe.

6
00:01:07,540 --> 00:01:09,360
I'm a music maker myself.

7
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:11,680
I can play the keyboard up there.

8
00:01:12,380 --> 00:01:14,160
And I can play the trumpet.

9
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,640
And I sing in the choir.

10
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,580
So music for me is a way to worship.

11
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:30,620
And you know that in church worship, for centuries, there have been choirs.

12
00:01:30,620 --> 00:01:35,020
Tastes in music have changed.

13
00:01:35,020 --> 00:01:42,220
So sometimes modern music doesn't suit everybody's taste.

14
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,480
And I have only a limited taste for some of the contemporary music.

15
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:54,220
Sometimes it seems like lots of noise rather than music.

16
00:01:54,220 --> 00:02:04,560
But hey, if I go to Africa and I go to a village where people don't have musical instruments,

17
00:02:04,980 --> 00:02:10,120
but they can worship God and they can dance and they can beat the drums.

18
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,180
They do whatever is available to them to worship God.

19
00:02:15,340 --> 00:02:16,920
It's a way to celebrate.

20
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,300
And so I look upon music as celebration.

21
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,200
And something through which I can say,

22
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,980
Thank you, Lord, for this gift because it makes me joyful.

23
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:33,500
And I love coming here to worship you.
