    I was there and can tell you what it was like. We practiced it a couple of times and they gave us directions for the harmonies and the crescendo. Then we sang it a final time for the video. 2500 strangers with brief practice and limited instructions and listen to us, we nailed it! Unified, disciplined, everyone trying to do their best, taking it seriously, and most importantly having fun. In the video when it goes black at the end you can hear us cheering… we were cheering for each other, applauding with hands clapping over our heads, turning in every direction. We were so happy and proud. And hearing it back, wow, we really were good!!

      @ I have no idea what Leonard Cohen is saying/meaning in so much of his work. I go with how it moves me. I have at times found hope in something that talks of despair. So often we bring our own views on what a poem means. My BFF babysat for Micheal Ondaatje. Her assignment was to choose a poem and analyze it. She chose one of his and asked him what he was referring to/thinking/imagining in the poem. Not what anyone, including her, the class, the teacher thought. It’s all about where you’re at.

Really & truly, I believe God will let us enter into a new phase after this frighteningly close “flirt” with authoritarianism. I know damn straight that the US isn’t the “ bestest” country in the world, but by God, now & then, we have been in the truly awful darkness.i think we still have that flickering flame that’s going to flash forth.

      🍇THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age brought by Christ to purify man with His Word"
      Almighty God said
      When God speaks, it usually COMES FROM HEAVEN to EARTH, and sometimes from the earth, leaving all people unable to understand the MOTIVES and origin of GOD'S WORDS. "When I am in the sky, the stars never feel afraid of My presence. Instead, they focus their hearts on their work for Me." Such is the state of heaven. God is methodically planning everything in the THIRD HEAVEN, with ALL SERVANTS SERVING GOD DOING THEIR OWN WORK for GOD. They NEVER DID ANYTHING that was DISOBEDIENT to GOD, therefore, they did NOT FEEL the FEAR that GOD SAYS, but INSTEAD they set their HEART on their WORK; There has NEVER been any CONFUSION, and thus all ANGELS LIVE in LIGHTof GOD. Meanwhile, because of their disobedience, and because they do not know God, all people on earth live in DARKNESS, and the more they oppose God, the more they live in darkness. When God says, "When the heavens are brighter, the earth beneath is darker," He is referring to how the day of God is drawing nearer to all mankind. THEREFORE, the 6,000 years of GOD'S TROUBLE in the THIRD HEAVEN is NEARLY OVER. 🔴🙏
      ALL THINGS ON EARTH HAVE ENTERED THE LAST CHAPTER, and are about to be REMOVED from GOD'S HAND.
      The more people ENTER into the LAST DAYS, the more they taste the CORRUPTION in the WORLD of MAN; the more they enter into the LAST DAYS, the more they DEVICE their OWN FLESH. There are even many who wish to reverse the miserable state of the world, but their hope is lost in the middle of their sighs, because of the WORKS of God.
      Thus, when people feel the warmth of spring, God covers their eyes, and thus they float on the rolling waves, not one of them is able to reach the distant rescue boat. Because people are weak by nature, God said, no one can restore things--things. When people lose hope, God begins to speak to the entire universe. He BEGINS to SAVE all mankind, and only then are people able to enjoy the new life that COMES when things are restored. 🔴
      Today's PEOPLE are in a STAGE OF SELF-DECEPTION. Because the WAY AHEAD of them is so bleak and UNCLEAR, and because their FUTURE is "limitless" and "eternal," the people of this age have no inclination to FIGHT, and can only spend their days like the Hanhao bird. 😪🙏
      No one has ever been serious about the pursuit of life and the knowledge of human life; instead, they wait for the day when the Savior will suddenly descend from heaven to reverse the miserable state of the World, only then will they attempt to liveenthusiastically. Such is the true condition of all humanity and the mentality of all people.
      NOW, God says from the beginning, because of the current MENTALITY OF MAN, the NEW LIFE OF MAN IN THE FUTURE. This is the emergence of the spark of LIGHT, which GOD SPECIFIES. What GOD SAYS in the beginning is what GOD WILL ACHIEVE IN THE LAST, and the FRUITS of GOD'S VICTORY AGAINST SATAN: "I move over all people and I observe everywhere.
      Nothing ever LOOKS OLD, and NO ONE IS THE SAME. I BREATHE on the THRONE, I lean ABOVE the entire universe...." 🙏
      This is the RESULT of God's current WORK. ALL GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE RETURN TO THEIR ORIGINAL FORM, WHICH IS THE REASON WHY THE ANGELS, WHO SUFFERED FOR SO MANY YEARS, ARE FREED, AS GOD SAYS "their countenance is like that of the holy in heart of man." Because ANGELS WORK inEARTH and SERVING GOD on EARTH, and GOD'S GLORY SPREADS and spreads throughout the world, BRINGING HEAVEN to EARTH, and RAISING EARTH to HEAVEN. 🙏
      Therefore, MAN is the link that CONNECTS HEAVEN and EARTH; HEAVEN and EARTH are NOT separate, NOT separate, but connected as one.🙏
      In the whole world, only God and man exist. There is no dust or dirt, and all things are made new, like a young lamb lying on green grass under heaven, ENJOYING ALL THE GRACE OF GOD. 🙏🔴
      And because of the COMING of this greenness, the breath of life rises, because GOD COMES to the WORLD to LIVE next to MAN in all eternity, as it was said from the MOUTH of GOD that "I will again dwell in peace within of Zion." This is the SYMBOL of DEFEATof SATAN; this is God's day of rest, and this day ALL PEOPLE WILL PRAISE and DECLARE, and ALL PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER. 🙏
      When God rests on the throne, that is also the time when God finishes His work on earth, and that is the very moment that all the MYSTERIES of GOD are SHOWN to MAN; GOD and MAN will be forever RECONCILED, NEVER separated---so are the GOOD onesencounter with the KINGDOM. 🔴
      There are HIDDEN MYSTERIES among MYSTERIES; the WORDS of GOD are truly DEEP and unfathomable! 🙏
      From "The Word Appears in the Flesh"
      Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Revelation 18:9,13)
      The Savior has returned and He or Christ fulfilled His building of the kingdom/church on top of the rock or standing in the worthy holy place in the air/RUclips! When He came He fulfilled what was prophesied in the book of Revelation and from there it is recorded that He changed a new name and the name of His city from ("THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐) "The Epistle to the church of Philadelphia" "The one who overcomes is I will make a pillar in thetemple of my God, and he shall not be removed from it forever. I will engrave on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that will come down out of heaven from my God. I will also engrave him with my new name. (Revelation 3:12). ... "The Reign of the Prince of Peace" "For a baby boy is born and he will rule over us. He is the wonderful counselor, the Almighty God, the eternal Father, the Prince of peace." (Isaiah 9:6). ... "For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their SHEPHERD. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water; and God will wipe away the tears from their eyes." (Revelation 7:17).
      "They said together, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the throne!" (Revelation 7:10). ... So God's sheep and the right people He created have come to His holy city the New Jerusalem that will only last on earth for 1,000 years "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐

      I live in North Carolina, but my parents are from Quebec. Yes, they both spoke quebecqua. But they didn't teach me because the Catholic Nuns told them it was too hard on children to learn English and French. They later admitted that those nuns were stupid. But found this and listened to it, as it is a favorite of mine. You all sang beautifully. I needed to here this, as these elections are giving me fits and raises my blood pressure. LOL

    I was a member of the Pretoria University Church years ago. Each Sunday between 3,000 and 4,000 people will gather for the service. What made it so exceptional that I still remember and cherish my time there, is that the organist was world class and the University Choir sang with the congregation. The exceptional organ music with the thousands of voices accompanied by the amazing voices of the choir, from baritone to sopranos, came together as the most incredible sound one can imagine. I often cried while singing, because it was just so emotional to hear this incredible sound in praise of God.

      Sadly Leonard Cohen was a secular Jew. He wasn't particularly religious. This is not a praise song as religious and beautiful it sounds. I cringe when Christians use it in worship. Is has sexual references.
