Help me out with some ideas

[HelenaZF]

The service was tonite......I chose a dance piece called "Father of Life" by Craig Smith, which is a lovely ballad with a kyrie theme. The chorus is:



"Father of Life, please have mercy

Take this heart and give it purity

Father of Life, pour your mercy over me

And renew a steadfast spirit within me."



[listen to a clip of it here (cut 13) you'll need Windows Media player: <URL url="http://www.kardiamedia.com/artists/craig_smith/ykc/index.html"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.kardiamedia.com/artists/crai ... index.html">http://www.kardiamedia.com/artists/craig_s.../ykc/index.html</LINK_TEXT> ]



I used the <URL url="http://zionfirefriends.com/index.php?showtopic=7">Father of Life banner, which Dean carried for me, and with which I interacted in the dance. In each chorus, Dean turned the banner to show the flowing red word "mercy". The last chorus was done as he circled me with the banner so that the back of the banner displayed during the phrase, "pour Your mercy over me".



It was done right before the breaking of the generational curses part of the service, so it was a good heart preparation song. I think it worked well, and we received several favorable comments, some that were specific--like "beautiful and anointed", and "the piece ministered". Dean saw tears in some eyes. That sort of thing blesses me, because from that I know that the Lord was able to use my offering to touch hearts...something more than just a pleasing performance.
