This morning was the 4th week of our new fellowship.  We had 21 in the service 
and a multi-cultural environment once again.  The VIBF Jr. ensemble 
sang "He Shall Be Called" and did a marvelous job with the music...  

The congregation sang, "Splendor and Majesty" at the beginning of the service 
with yours truly singing the verse as a solo...  I played the original recording 
throughout the 15 minutes prior to the beginning of the service so the congregation 
would be familiar, then on cue we began singing the song with prayerful worship 
and even I was shocked as to the reception of this song.  (Jean-Claude, from Florida)

"Last night during choir practice, my Mother informed me that 
she heard the song "Splendor and Majesty" being sung on our local Christian radio station.  The Lord is really using that beautiful song... you are blessing SouthAfrica  with your compositions." (Liz, in South Africa) 

We want to perform "Splendor And Majesty", "Center Of My Soul" and 
possibly "If We Walk In The Light" at our annual Aboriginal Regional...  
my little group is wanting to liven and modernize our music and improve the 
quality of our service... We feel it is so important for our young people.   
(Robyn & Rongo, from Australia)

Only God knows His plan for "Splendor And Majesty".
He will open the doors He wants opened,
and close the doors He wants closed.
God is in control !    Hallelujah !!

Thank you for the part you have
in sharing this song with others...

- Ralph Merrifield
