Aug. 22, 2009 - The Lord is My Conductor
We're doing some housecleaning today, binding up old school work for storage, throwing out old papers that don't need to be kept. In the process I came across an old notebook that I used when I worked at camp many years ago. In that notebook was something we did in our staff devotions one day. We were to re-write Psalm 23 using an analogy other than that of a shepherd and sheep. It was kind of fun so I thought I'd share it here. I may have to get my kids to do this in the fall...
1. The Lord is my Conductor, I shall not go out of tune.
2. He makes me to rest while others play; He leads me through the fingering of difficult pieces.
3. He restoreth my tone and leads me through complicated key signatures.
4. Though my reeds may break and my lips give out, I will not become frustrated; for You will always give me a strong beat; Thy reeds and Thy staff will comfort me.
5. Thou preparest an overture for me in the presence of my critics. Thou anointest my valves with oil, my slide will always be slick, and my bell will always resound.
6. Surely delightful tones will be with me always; and I will play the Lord's symphony forever!
