Church Music — start them young

Today I did another Michael Card song, from 1992 — “Then They Will Know”, part of his The Word album on the prophets. I will share more about that later.

But first I want to feature Adrianna Trevino, who sang her first Introit and Call to Prayer today in the 8:30 service. Here are pictures of her below, along with sound tracks for both pieces she did:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Introit: Let Us With a Gladsome Mind

Call to Prayer: Hear Our Prayer O Lord

 

I also have two sound tracks for the Michael Card song — one from each service.  I will put them in below the text:

 

Then They Will Know

Words by Michael Card, Music by Scott Brasher

 

I will speak

I will wait

I will send prophets among them

That they might hear

That they might see

And understand how much I love them

Then they will know that I am Father

Then they will know I am Lord*

They’ll walk with Me

And be My people

I’ll walk with them as their God

As their God

(Jeremiah 7:23; 11:4; 13:11; 24:7; 30:22; 31:1,33; 32:38; Ezekiel 11:20 14:11; 37:23)

I will strike

I will scourge

and carry out vengeance upon them

But I will heal the wounds I make (Hosea 6:1)

and tenderly take them back to Me

Then they will know that I am Father

Then they will know I am Lord

They’ll walk with Me

And be my people

I’ll walk with them as their God

This is heaven

This is salvation

This is their great hope and Mine

He will come My own Son

A Word faithful hearts can’t help hearing

And by His death

With His last breath

A father’s forgiveness comes flowing

Then they will know

That I am Savior

I am Redeemer and Friend (Isaiah 63:16)

Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14)

The God who is with them

The God who gives all He can

He is salvation

He is the kingdom

To know Him is paradise

Then they will know that I am Father

Then they will know I am Lord

I am Lord
