00:00.000 --> 00:29.980
 

00:30.000 --> 00:59.980
 

01:00.600 --> 01:03.880
It was given to us so that we can enjoy it.

01:04.160 --> 01:05.680
It is a gift.

01:06.220 --> 01:07.420
That's what I believe.

01:07.540 --> 01:09.360
I'm a music maker myself.

01:09.900 --> 01:11.680
I can play the keyboard up there.

01:12.380 --> 01:14.160
And I can play the trumpet.

01:14.880 --> 01:16.640
And I sing in the choir.

01:16.640 --> 01:21.580
So music for me is a way to worship.

01:22.520 --> 01:30.620
And you know that in church worship, for centuries, there have been choirs.

01:30.620 --> 01:35.020
Tastes in music have changed.

01:35.020 --> 01:42.220
So sometimes modern music doesn't suit everybody's taste.

01:43.040 --> 01:48.480
And I have only a limited taste for some of the contemporary music.

01:48.480 --> 01:54.220
Sometimes it seems like lots of noise rather than music.

01:54.220 --> 02:04.560
But hey, if I go to Africa and I go to a village where people don't have musical instruments,

02:04.980 --> 02:10.120
but they can worship God and they can dance and they can beat the drums.

02:10.120 --> 02:15.180
They do whatever is available to them to worship God.

02:15.340 --> 02:16.920
It's a way to celebrate.

02:17.960 --> 02:20.300
And so I look upon music as celebration.

02:21.240 --> 02:24.200
And something through which I can say,

02:24.200 --> 02:28.980
Thank you, Lord, for this gift because it makes me joyful.

02:29.640 --> 02:33.500
And I love coming here to worship you.
