East to West

Last Sunday the ABCD-Harmony quartet debuted their second ever learned song: "East to West."

Allow me to explain. The ABCD-Harmony group is composed of "B"- (bass) our church's praise band leader, "D"- (tenor) one of the female praise band vocalists, "C"-(soprano) my younger sister, and "A"-(alto) you guessed it, me.

Several months ago I found a vocalist training cd that would teach the soprano, alto, tenor, and bass parts to 25 hymns and worship songs. Our group was formed, and we quickly learned "Beautiful Lamb of God," and then "East to West," and "Christian Jubilee." (I wish I had a decent copy of Beautiful Lamb of God to upload--it is such a lovely song!) I never knew that singing 4-part harmony could be so fun! Our repertoire is slowly expanding, and I personally hope that once it consists of more than three or four songs, we will record them all onto a CD.

Oh, and the group singing the song you're hearing right now: ABCD-Harmony! Here are the lyrics.

East to West
Psalm 103:12

As far as the East is from the West,
as far as the worst is from the best,
as far as the future's from the past,
as far as the first is from the last,

He is holy,
I'm unworthy.
He is faithful in all of His ways.
He is worthy,
I'm unholy.
He has taken my sins away!
And oh how far He's taken my sins away from me.

As far as the heaven's from the earth,
as far as the dying's from the birth,
as far as the darkness from the light,
as far as the blindness from the sight.

He is holy,
I'm unworthy.
He is faithful in all of His ways.
He is worthy,
I'm unholy.
He has taken my sins away!
And oh how far He's taken my sins away from me.

Our next song probably won't be happening for another month or so...but stay tuned! It is my favorite so far.
