Sermons from Aldersgate

Psalm 23, by Z. Randall StroopeThe Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. Lauda, lauda!Through death's dark valleys no fear will I know. Lauda.My head is covered with the finest oil, my cup runneth over. Lauda, lauda!Surely goodness and mercy will follow!Green pastures, still waters, the Lord provides! Lauda, lauda.My soul restores, my heart renews. Lauda, lauda!The Lord prepares me a table. Lauda.No fear have I from my foesThe Lord anoints me, guards me, loves me.The Lord provides me with a rod and staff.They comfort and guide me. Lauda, lauda!Oh, surely goodness and mercy shall follow!And in the house of the Lord I will dwell forever! Lauda lauda!Sung by the West Potomac HS Symphonic Women's Chorus, directed by Ernest Johnson

Poet/Lyricist: Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)The prayer, “Nada te Turbe” was found in the breviary of the 16th cent. Christian mystic and saint, Teresa de Ávila, written in her own hand. Her words have consoled countless numbers of people and helps in times of personal and worldly struggle. I hope this text and music gives you comfort, especially during this time.Let nothing disturb you, nothing frighten you,All things are passing. God never changes.Patience obtains all things.Whoever has God lacks nothing.God is enough.Performed by West Potomac High School choir, directed by Ernest Johnson
