I used to be a member of our church's dance ministry during my tweener to teener stage; that was how I learned and loved to dance. During the 90s to early 2000, street dance was not acceptable in Christian churches yet, so we have interpretative dances and have used tambourines with colorful ribbons. My favorite gospel song that we danced to was Celebrate Jesus, Celebrate by Don Moen. We used the tambourine dance step called covenant. I can still remember a few steps, actually. It kind of alienated my little girl when I danced in front of her using her tambourine she was about to use for a school presentation last December. Anyway, today's the day Jesus has risen. Let us celebrate, Jesus is alive! :)
Matthew 28:6 (NIV)"He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay."

Celebrate Jesus, celebrate
Celebrate Jesus, celebrate
Celebrate Jesus, celebrate
He is risen He is risen
And He lives forevermore
He is risen He is risen
Come on and celebrate
Come on and celebrate
Come on and celebrate
The resurrection of our Lord!
We sang this song in church too this morning. :) It's just heartbreaking how the world has turned this beautiful celebration of our hope in Christ into a commercial holiday of chocolate bunnies and Easter egg-hunting.
ReplyDeleteLSS ko nga ito today eh. The big responsibility lies in the hands of the parents. :)
DeleteHere's my favorite Church song: ♬ I forgive you, I love you. You are mine, take my hand. Go in peace, sin no more, beloved one.. ♬
ReplyDeleteI am a member of the church choir during Elem and HS days. Used to sing a lot during Easter Sunday and I'm always present during the Salubong program every 4:00 AM. Hope to pass it on to Meg.
ReplyDeleteI love Don Moen, parang lahat yata ng song niya gusto ko. hehe! Sayang lang never pa ko nakanood ng concert niya.
ReplyDeleteI was part of choir in our school too during my GS and HS years. Sometimes I pray to Him by singing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to all.
ReplyDeleteI wish I have stories/songs like this that I can share to the kids. Kaso shy type talaga ako eh so hindi ako active sa presentations. Haha! Taga-gawa lang ako ng props and backdrop palagi. :D

Wow, ikaw na ang mega-talented :) I like "Tell the world of His love". Never fails to make me smile and be thanful.
ReplyDeleteNaku, I never liked dancing. Yung mama ko pinasali kami so we'll get busy. I was shy and almost crying pag hindi ko nakukuha ang steps. Pero tumagal-tagal, gumaling na din at nawala na ang hiya. Ayan, napasobra naman. :)))
